On Sunday evening, Internazionale host Sampdoria at the Giuseppe Meazza in Serie A, as the home side looks to consolidate their position in the Champions League spots.

Inter are currently third place in the Italian top-flight, four points clear of fourth place rivals AC Milan. The home side’s recent league form has been inconsistent, as a 1-0 win at Parma last time out in the Italian top-flight ended a three-game winless run for the Nerazzurri in Serie A. Inter’s recent league matches have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last nine games in the Italian top-flight.

Luciano Spalletti’s team have won seven of their last nine home games in Serie A. However, the Nerazzurri have failed to win in their last two home games in the Italian top-flight. Inter’s recent home games have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last four matches.

Sampdoria’s recent league form has been poor in Serie A, as they have won just once in their last five league outings, suffering three defeats in the process. Last time out Samp suffered a 1-0 home defeat against struggling Frosinone.

The defeat against the strugglers ended a run of high-scoring matches, as their previous four league games had produced over 2.5 goals.

Sampdoria have struggled on their travels of late in Serie A, winning just once in their last eight away matches in the Italian top-flight. The visitors have failed to win in their last three matches on their travels in Serie A.

Samp’s recent away matches in the Italian top-flight have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in their last five games.

Forebet predicts that Inter will record a victory in a low scoring game to consolidate their position in Serie A’s Champions League spots.
