This weekend’s Serie A action pits teams at both ends of the table against each other and these Spezia vs. Inter predictions centre on the race for Europe and the relegation scrap. Inter are chasing a Champions League spot, as hosts Spezia fight to keep their place in the top-flight next season.
Spezia vs. Inter odds
1 – Inter to win – 5/11
2 – Inter under 2.5 total goals – 13/25
3 – Total goals scored under 2.5 – 23/20
4 – Both teams not to score – 9/10
5 – Inter to win 2-1 – 42/5
Inter’s chances of a Serie A title challenge are fading by the week since the start of 2023, as a sensational Napoli side pull further ahead at the top of the table. Ahead of this weekend’s round of fixtures Simone Inzaghi’s side trail Napoli by an incredible 15 points.
Qualifying for next season’s Champions League is a key priority, but the prospect of a midweek trip to Porto will play a role in this tie.
Based on form, Inter are strong favourites to pick up a routine victory, with four wins and a draw in their last six league matches. That’s compared to Spezia’s return of no wins in their last seven league ties.
Within their positive form, Inter have not been as ruthless in front of goal as Napoli, with seven goals scored in those six matches. They have also only scored over 2.5 total goals just once in that run. As an overall record, only four of Inter’s 10 Serie A games since the start of 2023 have included over 2.5 goals scored in total.
Spezia’s own goal output is poor at the moment, with just four scored in their last seven league ties. They are not expected to trouble an Inter back line that has kept back-to-back clean sheets away from home in Serie A.
Victory for Inter will have little impact on the title battle, with Napoli edging ever closer to a first league title since 1990. But it will move Inter closer to their goal of a top four finish, ahead of that all-important trip to Portugal.
Another winless weekend for Spezia will deepen their relegation concerns and they will slide into the drop zone if rivals Verona beat Monza.
