Inter Milan vs Verona predictions: Visitors can keep it close at Serie A leaders

- Inter have won their last three meetings with Verona to nil 
- Verona have suffered four 1-0 defeats on the road so far this season 
- Recommended bet: Inter Milan to Win and Under 2.5 goals

Inter Milan are hoping to extend their lead at the top of Serie A on Saturday when they host Verona a day before second-placed Juventus are back in action.

Verona are narrowly outside the drop zone and after some poor away form of late, they are huge underdogs for this trip. 

While another defeat is likely, there is reason to believe they can at least keep this close. 

Team news

Inter Milan are without Juan Cuadrado for this clash, but they are otherwise close to a clean bill of health. 

The hosts may give Federico Dimarco a little more time to return to full fitness, while they are set to pair Lautaro Martinez with Marcus Thuram up front.

Verona have no injury concerns, with Ondrej Duda available once again and he is set to come straight into the midfield for this tough trip. 

The stats

Verona have conceded just 12 goals across their nine away trips this term.

The hosts have Serie A's best defensive record, with just eight goals conceded.

Verona have lost four of their last five away games, with each defeat finishing 1-0 or 2-0.

Inter have won to nil in their last four home league games.

The hosts have seen under 2.5 goals land in three straight league matches.

Verona have lost four of the five away games in which they have failed to score, with all five seeing fewer than three goals

Prediction

Verona head into this clash having lost five of their last six away trips, which has left them narrowly outside the drop zone. However, none of those defeats have been comprehensive. 

The visitors have seen under 2.5 goals land in each loss, while they have been beaten 1-0 at each of the other three teams in Serie A’s top four.

Verona are masters at keeping games close, with just three of their 18 league games settled by more than a one-goal margin. 

The visitors have failed to score in five of their nine league trips, losing four games 1-0 and drawing the other 0-0.

The visitors have shipped only 12 goals on their travels this term and they head to the league’s strongest defence. 

Inter Milan have conceded just eight goals in their opening 18 games and they have won four straight home outings to nil.

Another victory and clean sheet looms for the league leaders, but it is hard to see them running away with this one. 

They have seen under 2.5 goals land in each of their last three Serie A matches, so back Verona to keep the scoreline down in a defeat here.
