Inter Milan had a setback in their last match. The 2-2 draw at Monza last week, in which the Nerazzurri conceded an equalizer in the 93rd minute, dashed Inter Milan’s hopes of regaining the Scudetto.
When they take on struggling Verona on Saturday, Simone Inzaghi’s club, who has gone five games without losing either side of the World Cup break, will be heavy favorites to avenge that setback thanks to their potent attacking record.
Inter Milan to use attacking tactics against Verona
This season, only Napoli (39) has scored more Serie A goals than Inter (37); the Nerazzurri have netted 19 goals in their previous seven league games.
However, Inter have often looked weak at the defence this season, having allowed 10 goals in their past seven games while only managing to retain one clean sheet throughout that stretch.
The hosts may have difficulties at the other end while players like Lautaro Martinez and Romelu Lukaku will anticipate success against Serie A’s joint-worst defense.

Verona’s defense looks porous
In fact, only Sampdoria has allowed as many goals (30) as Verona this season in the Italian top division, but Marco Zaffaroni’s club seems to have benefited from the World Cup break, picking up four points since returning to action after loosing 10 straight league games before to the tournament.
Verona has scored in eight of their last ten games, and six of those have more than 2.5 goals, thus they have a small chance of holding Inter scoreless at San Siro.

Match Facts
- Inter Milan have not been defeated in their previous five matches, winning four of them.
- 4 of the Inter Milan’s previous 5 games have seen over 2.5 goals.
- Verona have lost 10 of their previous 12 Serie A matches, conceding many goals in 9 of them.
Conclusion
Four of Inter’s previous five games have seen over 2.5 goals scored, so betting on more of the same seems like a decent method to provide those looking to back Inzaghi’s team extra value.
The only team in Serie A this season to score more goals at home than Inter has been Napoli, and while a home win and over 2.5 match goals is our key selection, a 2-1 victory for Inter could provide value on the correct score.
