The hosts hope to bounce back from last weekend’s defeat and these Inter vs. Lecce predictions suggest the fans will be happy with the outcome. The Nerazzurri could lose their top-three spot with defeat on Sunday and come up against a solid Giallorossi side.
Inter vs. Lecce odds
1 – Inter to win – 1/3
2 – Inter to win to nil – 21/20
3 – Under 2.5 goals scored – 11/10
4 – Lautaro Martinez to score anytime – 7/5
5 – Lecce to score over 0.5 goals – 10/11
Inter welcome Lecce to the San Siro on Sunday afternoon hoping to get back to winning ways. The Nerazzurri have not lost to their weekend opponents in over a decade but the Salentini go into the game in solid form.
Marco Baroni’s side have lost just one of their last four games and have taken points from both Roma and Atalanta in recent weeks. Last weekend’s defeat at home to Sassuolo may have knocked their rhythm but Lecce are well suited to dropping deep, looking to frustrate their hosts.
For the Nerazzurri, there may be a concern that having failed to break down Bologna last weekend there could be similar problems this Sunday. That having been said, with Romelu Lukaku returning to full fitness, the hosts should have too much in their locker for the visitors.
Unlike against Bologna, Simone Inzaghi’s side will not need to be as worried about conceding. Lecce have managed just one goal a game so far this season, and there are good odds on the hosts securing a clean sheet alongside their win.
With both front lines far from firing on all cylinders, a wise bet may be on a low scoring game this weekend. A punt on under 2.5 goals scored may not reflect the past two encounters between the teams, in which Inter scored four, but is an accurate representation of where the teams are at the moment.
Of course, for a team of Inter’s quality, there is always the possibility that a world-class talent is able to unlock the Lecce defence. Lautaro Martinez has been that man for Inzaghi this season, having bagged 13 goals. If anyone is to break the deadlock this weekend, it is likely to be him.
