Recent consecutive defeats have seen Napoli draw level in the standings with Inter, coupled with elimination from the Coppa Italia. Inter`s home record against Roma at San Siro has been disappointing over the past eight years, marked by numerous losses and only one victory on October 1, 2022. As Inter prepares to face Roma on Sunday afternoon at the Meazza, these statistics highlight the significance of the match. The Nerazzurri are eager to put their recent struggles behind them, while the Giallorossi aim to overcome a significant hoodoo.
According to betting experts at Sisal, Inter is favored to bounce back, with odds for an Inter win set at 1.72. Roma`s victory is less likely at 4.75, with a draw priced at 3.75.
Despite both teams boasting strong defenses in Serie A, an open and attacking game is anticipated. The `Goal + Over 2.5` combo bet is offered at 2.15. Consequently, a 2-1 victory for Inter is valued at 8.50, while Roma replicating the same scoreline from three years ago would pay 16 times the stake. A high-scoring match increases the possibility of a `Comeback` (a team winning after being behind), offered at 7.25, and a goal scored by a substitute from the bench is also a possibility at 2.50. Set pieces could play a decisive role: Inter is favored to win more corners than Roma, with odds of 1.50 compared to Roma`s 2.90.
Several key players are expected to feature at the San Siro, although some anticipated stars like Thuram and Dybala will be absent due to injury. Lautaro Martinez is expected to be on the scoresheet (priced at 2.50) and could help secure vital points for his team. He might be assisted by Federico Dimarco, who has often been decisive against Roma (goal or assist at 2.50). For the Giallorossi, hope rests on Artem Dovbyk finding his first goal against a top side (offered at 3.50), while Matias Soulé (goal or assist at 3.00) will look to continue his impressive form.
At the Maradona stadium, Napoli hosts a potentially tricky Torino side but are considered strong favorites by Sisal experts, with odds of 1.44 for a win. A draw is priced at 4.25, while a surprising Torino victory would pay 8 times the stake. Napoli boasts the league`s best defense, having conceded only 11 goals in 16 home games. Torino failing to score is an option at 1.80. Given the competitive nature of both teams, a penalty is possible at 2.75, and an expulsion is priced at 5.50. The intervention of VAR is also considered likely at 3.00. Romelu Lukaku has an almost perfect record against Torino, remaining unbeaten in 7 encounters with 5 goals and 3 assists. His sixth goal against the Granata is valued at 2.25. Torino will look to Ché Adams, who has 9 league goals and recently scored against Udinese, to strike again (priced at 4.50).
In other upcoming matches, Bologna is favored to consolidate their fourth-place position against Udinese, with odds of 1.85 for a Bologna win versus 4.25 for Udinese, who is trying to avoid a sixth consecutive defeat. Fiorentina is also expected to win against Empoli (1.72 versus 5.00), as is Lazio against Parma (1.52 versus 6.00 for a Parma away win).
