INTER MILAN v GENOA PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

This match brings together sides with the greatest disparity and form in Italy. Only Juventus are above Inter Milan in the current Serie A standings and the side look destined to qualify for next season’s Champions League. They have had a dip in form since beating Juventus in the biggest match in Italy to date but the sides just below them in the table have also faltered. Only Siena are below Genoa in the current standings and then only because that side began the season with a handicap of six points after being proven of match fixing. Inter Milan are 17 places and 21 points ahead of their opponents at the weekend. In terms of goals both these sides are relatively low scoring and conceding and their overall average is less than 2.5 goals per game.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Before losing to Atalanta recently Inter Milan were the form team in Italy and a run of five straight league wins culminated in the win away to Juventus. However their home form is not outstanding and they have already been beaten twice at their own stadium this season. Inter have actually won more points away from home than at their own ground and leading scorer Diego Milito has a better record in away matches. Genoa have lost three of their last five matches but drew at home to Torino last weekend. Despite having slightly less than half of the possession they had more shots on target than Torino. In this match Inter will dominate possession and create enough chances to win the match and confirm the relative form of both sides.

INTER MILAN - GENOA PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

Inter Milan beat Juventus in the most significant match of the season but their form had dipped since that fixture. In fact they have won just two of their last six matches and been beaten three times in that spell. They lost to a late goal against Lazio last week, despite edging the match in terms of scoring opportunities. They should get their season back on track by beating Genoa but if they fail to do so could fall too many points behind Juventus to win the title this season. Genoa have won just one of their last six matches and in that spell have been beaten by sides inferior in ability to Inter. The odds are vey short but a home win is the most feasible outcome to this match.

INTER MILAN - GENOA PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

Despite being second in the table six sides have a better home record than Inter Milan in Italy this season. They have won five matches at their own ground but those wins have been offset by a draw and two defeats. However, this match provides them with an opportunity to enhance that record as Genoa have lost five away matches this season. The issue with regards handicap betting is the margin of victory. Despite the relative form of the sides Inter have not been totally convincing at home which means they may have to settle for a victory by no more than one goal. Giving a start of a full goal the most likely scenario is returned stakes but a two goal winning margin for Inter makes this a winning bet.

INTER MILAN - GENOA PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

These two sides have recorded below average returns for scoring and conceding goals this season. This is a match in which both sides are unlikely to score so Milan to win to nil makes some appeal. Inter Milan’s home matches have produced on average three goals per game but Inter’s most recent form suggests this average will not be maintained. Genoa have scored five times away from home this season but only conceded as many. The relevant facts point to a low scoring game and a final tally of less than three goals.

188Bet quote 2.5 for under 2.5 goals.
