INTER MILAN v CATANIA PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

Inter Milan have had some contrasting results this season, most notably a home defeat to Siena and a win in the Milan Derby. The have yet to draw a match after five wins and two defeats. Their matches have produced slightly more than two goals per game on average. Catania have made a solid start to the season and are currently seventh. They have lost twice this year to date and their matches are averaging almost three goals a game. Last season Inter finished five places and ten points above their opponents at the weekend.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Inter won their last match away from home to AC Milan but in theory this was not strictly speaking a trip on the road as the teams share a ground at San Siro. AC Milan dominated possession in that game with Inter seeing just one third of the ball. They scored an early goal and then didn’t concede even though AC Milan created ten scoring opportunities. Catania won their last match, at home to Parma, despite having just over 40% of the possession. Inter will have most of the ball in this match and will attack throughout. Antonio Cassano is a key player but he will looking to improve on his modest goal’s output this season to date. Gonzalo Bergessio is Catania’a most significant player in attack.

INTER MILAN - CATANIA PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

This match provides the home banker of the weekend. Despite an unexpected reverse to Siena at home Inter are generally a difficult team to beat at their own ground and Catania are not good enough to achieve something similar to Siena. Inter’s home form this season has been surprisingly poor but over a sustained period of time they generally win matches on their own pitch. Catania lost 4-0 to Bologna in their last away match and that side do not have the quality of Inter. The home side can score in the first half so a double result of Inter/Inter makes some appeal.

Take the 1.62 for a home win with Pinnacle Sports.

This is a match that Inter Mlan can win by two clear goals so they should be backed giving up one and a half goals on the Asian Handicap. The most relevant form guideline is Catania’s loss to Bologna by four goals when they last played away from home.
