Inter Milan vs Salernitana Predictions and Betting Tips

Inter welcome basement side Salernitana to the San Siro bidding to rejuvenate their title charge in the Italian top-flight this Friday. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

Inter made soft work of Friday's opponents when both sides clashed heads in the reverse match back in December. A double is on the cards, however, their recent form is a cause for concern.

Slump in form for the defending champions

Inter and their city rivals, Milan, played out a 0-0 draw in the first leg of their Coppa Italia semifinals during the week. This stretched Internazionale's winless run in all competitions to five games, which has not only caused them to relinquish the top spot in the division, it also left them with a mountain to climb in the UEFA Champions League following a 2-0 loss in the last 16 first leg against Liverpool. Domestically, they're still in the race for the Scudetto with Inzaghi's troops in 3rd position, two points separating them from the summit whilst playing a game less than Napoli and Milan. Still and all, they would need to arrest this dip in form as soon as possible if they're to lift the Scudetto and maybe the Italian cup this season.

It was a given that Salernitana would struggle in the Italian top-flight this season and that's exactly how things have panned out with I Granata down at the bottom of the Serie A. Although they're ten points adrift of safety, they do have two games in hand on 17th placed Cagliari. Davide Nicola and his troops head into this game unbeaten in their last four league games and in spite of the fact that all four games ended in stalemates, it would surely do a lot for their confidence. It is then left to see whether they can use this as a platform to upset the defending champions this Friday.
