Inter vs Sampdoria Prediction: Nerazzuri to extend their winning streak

Inter have already scored three wins in a row in the national championship. Will Simone Inzaghi's team be able to secure another win against one of the main outsiders this season, Sampdoria? Let's find out!

Inter

In the middle of the week, Simone Inzaghi's team officially sealed a ticket to the playoffs of the Champions League, confidently handling the Czech Republic's Viktoria Plzen at home. Mkhitaryan, Dzeko (twice) and Lukaku, who has recovered from injury, netted the 4-0 scoreline for Inter. Quite expected and deserved success for the Milan club.

After a bad start to the Italian top-flight, things are also going well for Inter. In the previous round, the Nerazzurri beat Fioretnina 4-3 away in a dramatic match, scoring the decisive goal in the extra time. This victory was Inter's third straight in Serie A. Inter are now seventh in the standings, only three points behind the top-four.

Sampdoria

In the previous round, Dejan Stankovic's team picked up their first win of the season. In the crucial away game against their direct rival in the fight for survival Cremonese, the only goal of the season was scored near the end by Sampdoria defender Omar Colley (1-0). The Genoese are sitting 18th in the standings, only two points behind 17th place.

Expert Betting Tips

Inter spend their energy wisely between different tournaments. After their UEFA Champions League trip to Barcelona in a 3-3 draw, Simone Inzaghi's side played a very disappointing match in the league against Salernitana (2-0). Most likely, having finally secured a ticket to the playoffs of the Champions League, Inter will slow down a little in the game with Sampdoria. The Nerazzurri will score 2-3 goals and play for results. Moreover, Sampdoria will have nothing to answer with as the Genoa team is one of the worst in terms in terms of attacking efficiency this season.
