INT
TOR
Inter take on Torino in top-of-the-table clash after midweek UCL win.
In a high-stakes battle at the Stadio Guiseppe Meazza, Inter Milan look to fend off Torino and retain their edge in the Serie A standings after a Champions League triumph, aiming to overcome recent defensive struggles and maintain historical dominance in this fixture.
Inter
Inter Milan will be hoping to maintain their momentum in Serie A following a resounding 4-0 victory against FK Crvena zvezda on Matchday 2 of the UEFA Champions League. The match saw the Nerazzurri bounce back impressively after a disappointing goalless draw against Manchester City in their UCL opener.
Hakan Çalhanoğlu's stunning free-kick in the 11th minute set the tone for the evening, paving the way for goals from Marko Arnautovic, Lautaro Martínez, and a penalty from Mehdi Taremi. Historically, the Nerazzurri have dominated this fixture, having won their last four Serie A encounters with Torino without conceding a single goal.
However, the current season has presented some challenges, as Simone Inzaghi's side has only managed to secure three wins from their opening six league matches. This relatively slow start echoes the 2020/21 campaign, where they ultimately secured the Scudetto.
A recent loss to city rivals AC Milan brought an end to an impressive 17-match unbeaten home run, and the Nerazzurri will be eager to avoid consecutive home defeats, having last suffered such in March-April 2023. Defensive problems continue to plague Inter, as they have conceded seven goals in six matches in Serie A this season.
Manager Simone Inzaghi will rely on Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martínez to lead the attack in a 3—5—2 formation. For the upcoming fixture, Inter will be without Nicolò Barella, who is sidelined with a muscle injury.
Torino
Torino suffered back-to-back defeats to Empoli and Lazio, with the most recent being a 3-2 loss to the latter. This defeat marked the end of their unbeaten start to the Serie A season.
Il Toro, who are right beneath Inter, are level on points with the visitors at 11 points. They are only two points behind table-topping Napoli, who have 13 points.
Torino has failed to win any of their last five Serie A away games against Inter. This is a notable decline from their previous eight encounters, where they achieved two victories, four draws, and two losses (2W, 4D, 2L).
Manager Paolo Vanoli will be hoping to steer his squad towards a much-needed point against the defending champions. They suffered defeats in both meetings against Inter last season.
Vanoli is expected to continue with his preferred 3-5-2 formation, featuring Duván Zapata and Antonio Sanabria leading the line. Perr Schuurs is in doubt, while Alieu Njie and Aaron Ciammaglichella remain sidelined.
