Inter Milan put their unbeaten record in Serie A on the line when they take on Torino at the San Siro on Sunday, with the home side currently sitting in second place in the table. However, with the visitors coming off the back of a win themselves, it could well be a close encounter in Milan this weekend. With only Napoli ahead of them in the standings, Inter Milan will be looking to maintain their position in the Italian top-flight when they take on Torino this weekend. Having only dropped four points from their 11 matches so far this season, Luciano Spalletti’s men are hoping to return to the glory days.

Inter Milan
FC TorinoAnother three points for the Italian giants would move them to the top of the table, albeit it potentially only for a matter of hours. Despite Inter being the favourites for victory, Torino will be out to spoil the party when they travel to Milan, with a number of appealing betting markets surrounding the clash. Before we look at predictions for the match, let’s take a closer look at the two teams, starting with the home side.
Inter Milan Team News & Form
Goals from Borja Valero and Ivan Perisic handed Inter a win over Hellas Verona on Monday night, moving them to within just two points of league leaders Napoli. Despite not scoring during the game, forward Mauro Icardi has been the shining light for Inter so far this season, with eleven goals to his name already. Manager Spalletti has seemingly turned things around at the San Siro after a number of frustrating years, with the defensive partnership between new signing Milan Skriniar and Miranda also another big reason behind their success. Inter have the joint-second best defensive record in the league, with Spalletti undoubtedly hoping to continue this form on Sunday morning.
Torino Team News & Form
Despite having won just four of their opening eleven Serie A matches, Torino showed significant signs of improvement during their recent win over Cagliari, with the likes of Iago Falque and Adem Ljajic starring in attack. However, last season’s top scorer Andrea Belotti continues to struggle in front of goal, with the Italian international having scored just three league goals to date. Torino have scored 18 goals in their 11 games to date, with manager Siniša Mihajlović hoping that his side can improve in this area.
Head to Head
Inter and Torino have met 17 times in the past, with the Milan-based club having won on ten occasions, losing just two matches in the process. Inter defeated Torino 2-1 at the San Siro last season, before claiming a 2-2 draw away from home.
