Torino vs Inter Milan

Inter Milan’s faltering Serie A title defense continues at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino against perennial mid-table strugglers Torino.

Torino’s hopes of a fourth consecutive top-half finish in Serie A took a hit with a 1-1 draw against relegation-threatened Venezia last week. That result extended their poor run to just one win from six matches (D3, L2), sparking unrest among fans, as over 20,000 protested against president Urbano Cairo’s leadership last weekend, coinciding with the 76th anniversary of the Superga air disaster. Supporters are desperate to break free from Serie A’s mid-table, though home form in 2025 has provided some solace, with Torino unbeaten on their turf this calendar year (W4, D5). They’ve netted multiple goals in only three of those games, but repeating that feat against defending champions Inter appears challenging. Torino have lost ten of the last 11 H2Hs (D1), failing to score in six.

On the other hand, Inter Milan must cope with fatigue after a grueling 120-minute Champions League showdown with Barcelona in midweek. Simone Inzaghi’s side squandered a two-goal lead before finding a 93rd-minute equalizer to force extra-time, where they eventually prevailed to book a final meeting with PSG – their second Champions League final in three seasons. After becoming only the second Inter manager to secure two grand final appearances at Europe’s top table, Inzaghi will hope to retain the Scudetto after narrowly edging Hellas Verona 1-0 last weekend to stay within a three-point distance of table-topping Napoli. However, recent away form raises concerns, with Inter winning just one of their last seven Serie A road trips (D3, L3) while netting under 1.5 goals in five of those six winless outings.
