Salernitana vs. Inter Milan: Preview and betting tips

Inter Milan take on Serie A newcomer Salernitana on Friday. The clash between the first and the last has a clear favourite, will Inter be able to handle the seemingly easy match and keep the first place?

Salernitana is the last greenhorn of Serie A. However, staying among the elite is still realistic, the newcomer is only four points behind the seventeenth place. But it will be very difficult against Inter.

Last season’s league champion moved to the top of the table in December, one point ahead of rival AC. Inter have won the last five rounds and have lost only once in Serie A this season.

If anyone in the home side’s squad is to be praised, it is definitely Federico Bonazzoli, the author of three league and two cup goals. Meanwhile, Franck Ribéry is looking for ammunition, the French icon has only assisted twice so far.

Hakan Calhanoglu has been named Serie A’s best player for November, he already has six goals and the same number of assists overall. Lautaro Martinez is also among the most productive players in the league with a 10+2 record.

Salernitana is the worst team in the competition, not only in terms of the table. The eleven goals scored are the fewest in the whole Serie A, while the thirty-seven conceded are the second highest number in the league.

Inter boast the second most solid defensive record, only Napoli have scored less than fifteen goals. At the same time, with forty-three shots, it is sovereignly the highest scoring club in the competition.

Considering the form of both teams and especially the home side’s shooting woes, I think Inter will win with a clean sheet.
