After crashing out of the UEFA Champions League, Inter Milan have the chance to turn their attention to the Serie A title race and their pursuit of rivals AC Milan. They travel to struggling Torino on Sunday and will fancy their chances of coming out on top.
Torino have not been at their sharpest in recent weeks and have failed to secure a win in their last six matches. They have suffered three defeats in that run and were held to a 0-0 draw by Bologna in their previous fixture.
Il Toro are well above the relegation scrap and are just five points off the top 10. They will be targeting a top half finish before the end of the season.
Torino have enjoyed little home comfort in recent weeks and are winless in their last three matches in Turin. Ivan Juric’s men have lost the last two fixtures in that run, suffering back-to-back 2-1 defeats to Venezia and Cagliari.
There are no further European distractions for Inter Milan and they can turn their full attention to domestic matters. Simone Inzaghi’s men are second on the Serie A table, just two points behind leaders AC Milan having played a game less than their local rivals.
Inter Milan are attempting to snap out of a recent slump and continue to chase down leaders AC Milan. They claimed a 5-0 victory over Salernitana in their previous fixture with Lautaro Martinez netting a hat-trick while Edin Dzeko grabbed a brace.
The Nerazzurri may have crashed out of the Champions League but will take plenty of confidence from their 1-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield on Tuesday. Another positive is Edin Dzeko and Lautaro Martinez rediscovering their scoring touch having netted a combined six goals in their last two appearances.

Inter Milan have the upper hand among the bookies and are priced at 10/13 by SBK to claim the win. Torino are considered outsiders at home at 17/4 by BetVictor while a draw is set at odds of 3/1 by betway.
