A newly resurgent Inter Milan will be looking to maintain their recent good form as they travel to Verona for a midweek Serie A fixture. The hosts have picked up their form lately as they continue their relegation battle but Inter have a fine record in this fixture and should have the upper hand here.
Verona head into Wednesday’s clash off the back of a 1-1 draw with Cremonense in their previous Serie A fixture. They fell behind early in the contest but Simone Verdi struck the equaliser midway through the second half.
Marco Zaffaroni’s men have been slowly picking up their form in recent weeks, claiming two wins and as many draws in their last four matches. They remain in the bottom three but are level on 27 points with Spezia in 17th position.
One thing that will give Verona confidence ahead of Inter Milan’s visit is their recent home form having lost just once in their last eight matches at the Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi. They have claimed five wins in that run including a 2-1 victory over Bologna in their previous fixture.
The Scudetto may be out of reach for Inter Milan but they still have a few things to play for this season. They are in the last four of the Champions League and the final of the Coppa Italia while also in the hunt for a top four finish.
Looking to maintain their momentum ahead of the key fixtures in the final weeks of the campaign, Inter Milan have been in good form in recent weeks. Simone Inzaghi’s men have won their last three matches and claimed a 3-1 victory over Lazio in their previous fixture.
Inter Milan have also shown some quality on their recent travels and are unbeaten in their last five away matches across all competitions. They have won the last two in that run and picked up a 3-0 victory at Spezia in their previous Serie A fixture on the road.
