Salernitana come from a 0-1 score versus Genoa last fixture, a fixture to keep in mind. Next is this fit Inter team.

Insights:
  • Salernitana have the fewest scored goals (11) in Serie A
  • Inter have the most scored goals (43) in Serie A

Inter have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

The hosts Salernitana saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Coppa Italia. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Genoa.

Salernitana form and stats

With 1 Serie A win, 1 draw and 6 defeats from their home games, Salernitana, who have the fewest scored goals (11) in Serie A, are certainly not brimming with confidence. It's been an uphill battle for Salernitana in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Genoa game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.

Bonazzoli was the last player to score a league goal for Salernitana and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Salernitana haven't scored in 270 minutes.

In their previous game, the manager Colantuono led his Salernitana to a defeat in the Coppa Italia match away at Genoa. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Arechi. Defender Bogdan got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.44/10. Bogdan won 3 of 4 duels.

A Serie A defeat was the result before that one, 0-4 away at Fiorentina.

No one expects the home team to get anything from this game. It's not often a home team are such massive outsiders as in this game. We've searched our database for matches where Salernitana had similar winning odds as today, and found two games. In these, the hosts won zero, drew zero and lost two. Betting people looking at handicaps might be interested to know that Salernitana lost zero similar games by at least two goals.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Salernitana as they are travelling to their away game against Udinese in the Serie A. That match is four days after this one.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Salernitana here at Stadio Arechi in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (5 from 8 games). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Salernitana have conceded 16 goals in these home games, a significant number.

Inter form and stats

Inter have an excellent away record in the Serie A so far with 6-2-1 from 9 games. Impressively, the visitors are on a five-match winning run which they hope continue versus Salernitana.

The Inter goalkeeper Samir Handanovic is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 372 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

The supporters enjoyed Inter's previous game versus Cagliari (placed 19th), a Serie A 4-0 win played at home. As you can tell from the results above, Inter was very dominant against Cagliari, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with Çalhanoğlu, Sánchez and Martínez (2) providing the goals. Midfielder Barella was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 9.2. Barella signed up for two assists, hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times and had 108 successful passes (of 114 total).

Prior to that match, the Inter manager Inzaghi faced defeat when travelling to Real Madrid and losing 0-2.

Again, the away team are huge favourites in this match and any other result would be an upset. We checked our Tipsway database for earlier, recent games with Inter given similar win odds in an away game. This check revealed six matches with five wins as expected, one draw and zero surprise home wins. The favourites won three of these games by at least two goals.

With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Inter are regular goalscorers on their travels. 9 goals have been conceded by Inter in these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
