The Serie A title race takes another big step this weekend and these Spezia v Inter predictions could give an insight into what happens next. Simone Inzaghi’s side are closing in on a Scudetto defence in the season run-in.
Spezia vs. Inter odds
1 – Inter to win – 4/11
2 – Under 2.5 total goals – 13/20
3 – Inter under 2.5 total goals – 4/6
4 – BTTS – No – 4/5
5 – Inter to win 1-0 – 37/5
Inzaghi has turned things around at San Siro since the start of 2022, with Inter now looking well placed to retain their Serie A crown this season. Inter and Milan both play on Friday night, as they look to go punch for punch in the title race. The Nerazzurri still hold a game in hand over Stefano Pioli’s side as it stands.
Inter are unbeaten in their last eight league games across Serie A and Champions League action, with three wins from their last five domestic outings. Despite powering back into the title race, the Biscione have struggled for goals on a regular basis in 2022, scoring only four goals in their last four games.
Inter have also seen the majority of games end as low-scoring total results. Their last five games in all competitions have ended with less than 2.5 total goals scored, while just three of those have seen over 1.5 total goal scored inside 90 minutes.
With overall number of goals being scored dropping off, Inter have also tightened up in defence in recent weeks. They’ve only conceded two goals in their last five games, including successive shutouts in back-to-back games ahead of this fixture.
Spezia are unlikely to pose a major goal threat to their visitors, after only scoring four goals in their last six league games. Inzaghi’s brief has been to squeeze out narrow wins in their battle to defend the league title in 2022, with their last four games including 1-0 and 2-0 wins.
A close win will more than do for Inter in this game, as they look to close the gap on Milan. The title race is set to go down to the wire in the coming weeks, with Inter needing to make the most of their vital extra game.
