The league leaders Inter Milan are in action this weekend, but we have to wait until Monday night to see them play. Looking to maintain a really healthy lead at the top of the table, they host mid table Genoa in this one, with the expectation being that Inter win the game with ease.
Inter Milan Form GuideSince returning from the Italian Super Cup in Saudi Arabia, Inter Milan have been excellent, and carved out a big lead at the top of Serie A. As we begin the weekend, they are 12 points clear of Juventus, who have had their struggles, but for me, Inter already have one hand on the title, with 12 games to go, such has been the quality they've shown.
They are yet to lose in 2024 in all competitions, a total of 11 games played and 11 wins. The most recent, a hugely impressive 4-0 home win over 5th placed Atalanta at the weekend. To make their run even more dominant, they've kept four clean sheets in a row, so come here having not conceded a goal since February 10, in all competitions.
Genoa Form GuideGenoa are in the middle of the table, out of touch with anything happening both above and below them right now, and I don't say that as a negative, they will be really happy with where they are. But it does leave me wondering how much they will put into their remaining 12 games.
Genoa come here on the back of a win, they won 2-0 at home last weekend against struggling Udinese. Before that, a solid point in a 1-1 draw at Napoli, but showed their weakness in a 4-1 home defeat against Atalanta. This is a decent side, I do worry about them when going up against the better teams in this league though.
Match PredictionI mention the better teams in this league, and Inter Milan are the best. They've been perfect in 2024, have a grip of the title, and I think they get another three points here, and do so in comfortable fashion. I am backing Inter Milan on the -1.5 Asian handicap line, to win the game by two goals or more against Genoa.
