Torino v Inter Milan: Prediction, Tips and Odds

After their sensational UEFA Champions League semi-final success over Barcelona during the week, Inter Milan must turn their attention back to the Serie A title race when they visit Torino on Sunday.

In what will no doubt go down as one of the greatest UEFA Champions League ties in history, Inter claimed a dramatic 7-6 aggregate success over Barca on Tuesday to set up a final against Paris Saint-Germain in Munich at the end of the month.

However, before they can turn their attention to that Allianz Arena showdown, the Nerazzurri must first focus on the small matter of the Serie A title race, as they head into round 36 of the season sitting second in the standings, three points behind leaders Napoli.

Inter can move level on points with the Partenopei, who are not in action until they host Genoa later on Sunday, with a victory, but they will be facing a Torino side that have proved impossible to beat on home soil since the turn of the year.

Torino v Inter Milan betting tips and predictions

Torino or draw double chance - 13/10

Tuesday's sensational victory has to go down as one of the greatest night's in Inter's recent European history and they may understandably have one eye on the final with PSG on 31st May - their second UEFA Champions League final in three years.

The Nerazzurri have certainly put a lot of effort into their European run, but that has come at a cost domestically, as they have won only two of their last five Serie A matches, while their treble hopes were ended following a semi-final defeat to fierce rivals AC Milan in the Coppa Italia.

Those league results have seen Inter go from favourites to defend their Scudetto to outsiders behind Napoli with three rounds of fixtures left to play, but they can put the pressure back on their title rivals with a win in Turin.

That will certainly be the aim for Inter, but it will be interesting to see how much Tuesday's heroics - which included a gruelling extra time period - will have taken out of the team and head coach Simone Inzaghi, as he has tended to do of late, may look to freshen up his starting XI.

If Inter are tired, distracted, much changed or all of the above, then Torino are certainly a side that can take advantage on home soil.

Il Toro may have little to play for in midtable, but their home form has been impressive since the turn of the year, as they are yet to taste defeat in nine matches at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino in 2025.

Paolo Vanoli's side have only lost four of 17 home matches in Serie A across the campaign, beating both Atalanta and AC Milan and drawing with city rivals Juventus on their own patch, further underlining their hard-to-beat record.

While too many home draws have stopped Torino mounting any kind of European push, they could prove awkward opponents for Inter and can strike another blow to the Nerazzurri's title defence.

Vanja Milinkovic-Savic over 4.5 saves - 2/1

If Torino are to gain a positive result from Sunday's clash, they will likely need a strong performance from goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, who has statistically been the busiest goalkeeper in Serie A this season.

Heading into this weekend's round of fixtures, the Serbia international has been forced into action on 118 occasions, making five more saves than nearest challenger Wladimiro Falcone of Lecce.

Given Inter have had more shots (533) than any other team in Serie A this season, Milinkovic-Savic, who made five saves when these two teams met at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza back in October, could be kept busy once again.

Saul Coco to be booked - 12/5

Centre back Saul Coco has been a regular at the heart of Torino's defence following his arrival last summer from Las Palmas and he has not been afraid to get stuck in, picking up 10 yellow cards across his 32 Serie A appearances.

Heading into this weekend, only five players in the division have been cautioned more often than the Equatorial Guinea international, whose tally of 53 fouls is also the fifth highest across the Italian top flight.

Although on his best behaviour in October's reverse meeting with Inter, when he avoided a booking and only gave away one foul, Coco could be lured into a challenge or two in this game, particularly if Torino have a result to hold onto, making an 11th booking of the campaign all the more likely.
