BETTING PREVIEW
The late game sees 4th placed Inter Milan entertain 11th placed Torino, a team they have not lost to since 1994! In fact, Torino have lost more games to Inter Milan than any other side, so good luck changing that. Having not met since 2009, the two sides finally met this season and it was Inter who won 2-0. I expect the same sort of win at home, where they have not lost against Torino since 1988.
Now, on to this season, and you will notice Inter haven't exactly been doing well in recent games. They have picked up just 1 win in their last 5 league matches, beating Pescara 2-0 here. However, they have won their last home game 3-2 to knock out Bologna in the Coppa Italia, and come into this off a narrow 2-1 loss at Roma in the same competition.
It's the home form that interests me, as Inter have not lost in their last 8 games at the San Siro, winning 6 of those games. Torino won their last match 2-0 at Pescara and edged Siena 3-2 before that, which is a surprising run of 2 straight wins as they had managed just 2 wins in their last 13 league games.
The worry here is the Coppa Italia. Inter Milan are dow 2-1 on aggregate but have given themselves a chance with that away goal at Roma. Will they concentrate hard on this game or will their minds be on the home leg when they entertain Roma looking to progress.
Were this game away from home, there might have been a chance of a slip up, but with the game played at the San Siro, I think we can expect Inter to be focused and looking for a win. A loss would kill confidence before that match with Roma, so they will look to silence the Torino offence and we could see a win to nil.
THE BETTING VERDICT
There is a chance of a push with a narrow win, but a loss or a draw does us in anyway, so let's give 1 ball on the AH to give us a chance at a hefty payout.
Home win for me, and I'll bet it comes by at least 2 goals.
