The surge toward the end of the season continues as Serie A returns with a host of fun fixtures this week. There’s still a whole lot left to fight for at both ends of the table and if nothing else, this campaign has taught us that there’s plenty of life left in Italian football. Today, we’ll be taking a look at what has the potential to be a really fun encounter between Verona and Inter Milan on Wednesday.

Verona

Following on from a successful top half finish last season, Verona haven’t quite been able to recapture that same spark this time around. In fact, it’s been quite the opposite, and they face the very real possibility of heading back down to the second tier. They’re battling it out with Spezia right now for that final spot and with so few games remaining, they need to take advantage of their home games.

Inter Milan

Inter Milan’s focus is, understandably, pretty split right now. In addition to battling it out for a place in the top four, they are also in the Coppa Italia final and the semi-finals of the Champions League. They are still easily one of the most entertaining teams across Europe but they can’t afford to lose sight of their Serie A goals, especially given how easy it would be for them to wind up with nothing.

Factors to Consider

• In their last meeting back in January, Inter beat Verona 1-0.
• Verona have won two, drawn two and lost two of their last six games.
• Inter have won four, drawn one and lost one of their last six games.
• Verona have scored six goals and conceded seven in their last six games.
• Inter have scored 12 goals and conceded five in their last six games.

Conclusion

Verona have the ability to get at Inter if they’re able to start strong, but as we saw in their last run-in, they do leave themselves open at the back – especially if they get careless early on. Their best bet is to ride the wave and make this one physical, disrupting Inter’s flow in the process. Still, even if they do that, we don’t expect it to be enough, which is why we favour the visitors to come away with a big win as their strong end to the season continues.
