A resurgent Inter Milan will be looking to continue their recent rise up the table as they welcome Spezia for a midweek Serie A fixture. Spezia have relegation worries at the moment and should find things difficult at the home of the champions.
Inter Milan have got their title defence back on track and are unbeaten in their last five Serie A matches. They are now up to third on the table and could move to within one point of leaders Napoli if results go their way this week.
Manager Simone Inzaghi has got his team playing with plenty of confidence with four wins in their last five Serie A matches. They claimed a 2-0 victory at Venezia in their previous fixture with Hakan Calhanoglu and Lautaro Martinez getting the goals.
Home form remains pivotal for Inter Milan, who have now won their last three matches across all competitions at San Siro.
Things are looking a bit bleak for Spezia at the moment as they are plagued by relegation worries. They have claimed just three wins from 14 Serie A matches and are just one point above the bottom three.
There appears to be no respite for Spezia, who travel to Inter Milan with three defeats from their last four Serie A matches. Thiago Motta’s men suffered a 1-0 home defeat to Bologna in their previous fixture.
Spezia also have a poor record on their travels and have lost their last four away matches. Some of their heaviest defeats have come on the road, including a 4-0 loss to Verona while they were also beaten 5-2 by Atalanta in their last away fixture.
