The race for the Scudetto in Serie A could be a highly fascinating one this season, with four teams seemingly in with a realistic chance of winning the title.
One of those teams, Inter, will look to enhance their title chances by recording a win over Spezia on Wednesday night.
The Italian champions have made-up ground on league leaders Napoli at the top of the table. The Nerazzurri are now just four points behind Luciano Spalletti’s team in the fight to retain their crown.
A 2-0 win at Venezia last time out means that Inter are six matches unbeaten in Serie A, having picked up four wins and two draws. The home team have been prolific of late in the Italian top-flight, scoring at least two goals in four of their last five league outings.
Turkish midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu has shown his eye for goal of late, scoring in his last three appearances for the Nerazzurri.
Inter are a formidable opponent on home soil, as they are unbeaten in 23 Serie A matches at the San Siro.
Spezia are in a perilous position in the Serie A table, as they are just a point above the relegation zone after a poor recent run of form in the league. A 1-0 home defeat by Bologna last time out was their seventh defeat in ten outings in the Italian top-flight.
Thiago Motta’s team have been ineffective in front of goal in Serie A, as only two teams in Serie A have scored fewer goals than the visitors this season.
Spezia’s recent away form hasn’t been great either, as they have won just three of their previous 23 league matches on their travels.
Forebet predicts that Inter’s recent good form will continue, which will only add to Spezia’s relegation worries.
