Inter vs Torino Prediction: Nerazzurri will win, though not easily

Inter lost the opening Champions League match against Bayern and now will host Torino in the Italian championship. Will the Nerazzurri manage to win? We select several bets at once. 

On Wednesday, Simone Inzaghi's team kicked off the Champions League group stage and were literally crushed at home by Bayern Munich. 0-2 – to be honest, the Germans could have scored three or four goals. Already by the results of the first round, it is clear that it will be extremely difficult for Inter to fight for the group exit not only with Bayern, but also with Barcelona.

Things are not so good for the Nerazzurri in the domestic championship. Inter beat outsiders, Lecce (2-1), Cremonese (3-1), and Spezia (3-0); but lost to all strong opponents – 1-3 to Lazio, and 2-3 in the Milan derby.

Torino is sixth in the Serie A table after five rounds. While Inter is eighth. The Garnets suffered only one defeat, 1-3 from Atalanta; played a 0-0 draw with Lazio; and scored three victories over Monza (2-1), Lecce (1-0), and Cremonese (2-1). Ivan Juric's team is off to a great start to the season.

• Inter: Dalbert, Romelu Lukaku will not play;
• Torino: Etrit Berisha, Aleksei Miranchuk, Mohamed Fares will not play. Wilfried Singo, Samuele Ricci are questionable.

Torino is a team that is capable of not losing to absolutely any opponent in Serie A. The only defeat Ivan Juric's team suffered was in Bergamo against Atalanta (1-3), when the home team kicked penalties twice. It will not be easy for Inter, who are tired after their Champions League clash with Bayern, to pick up three points in the upcoming game. If the Nerazzurri win, it will be due to the high individual skill of the performers and hardly by a margin of more than one goal.

Prediction: Torino will impose the most serious resistance to Inter, but will lose by exactly one goal.

Betting options:

• Handicap Torino (+1.5) for 1.71;
• Inter To Win By 1 Goal for 3.75;
• Correct Score 1-0 for 7.50.
