Inter take on the visitors Salernitana in the round 25 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Friday, February 16th at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) (Milan).
Inter are closest to triumph now. Nerazzurri were champions of the country not so long ago. Conte was working with them then, and that was the peak of his success in Milan - and the last point in that section of his biography. Antonio learned about the problems of Chinese investors and left, unwilling to work under deteriorating conditions. But Inzaghi enthusiastically moved here and has been successful. So, last month his team won the Super Cup of the country for the third time in a row. Yes, not everything is so rosy: in the Champions League, the 2023 finalist couldn't beat Real Sociedad in 2 matches and, from the second place, got Atletico as opponents in the round of 16 - it will be extremely difficult next week. And in the cup, Nerazzurri lost at home to Bologna, failing to defend the title once again. But all this is compensated by a confident performance in Serie A. The leading team, still in the lead, even defeated the nearest pursuer, Juventus (albeit not without luck - there was only an own goal by Gatti). Moreover, when they defeated Roma in the next round, Old Lady managed to drop points against Udinese.

Salernitana have risen to the top division of the country for the second time - long-time tournament enthusiasts remember how the team briefly appeared here at the end of the last century. Now everything was heading towards either the newcomer being disqualified amidst the heat of the season (they rose with the serious support of De Laurentiis, who owns Napoli, so they found a new owner at the last moment in winter), or they would prematurely drop out due to sheer weakness. But then, in 2022, Davide Nicola took on the seemingly hopeless task of avoiding relegation and once again proved that he is unrivaled here... However, he didn't stay long after that, which is also typical for this unconventional coach. He was replaced by Paulo Sousa, who finally showed some good statistics somewhere. But all of this was last season, which they finished with 42 points. After the break, practically nothing worked under either the Portuguese or already with Pippo. But the club doesn't give up yet, and tried to strengthen its defense in January, including by hosting Boateng. Jerome is already taking the field and helped to keep a clean sheet away at Torino. And then there was Empoli, which Nicola himself took over in January. And he easily won 3-1 against his former wards away.
In April, Sea Horses managed to equalize the score by sheer luck (just remember Candreva's goal). But even after that, they managed to lose to the Milanese giant again. The strongest club plays at home against the weakest. A bet on handicap -2.0 for the victory of the hosts in Milan seems appropriate here.
Prediction for the match: Inter to win with -2.0 scored goals.
