Football – Italy – Serie A Betting Tips
Genoa come into this Serie A clash with Inter Milan looking to record a third consecutive league win following recent back-to-back wins over Lazio and Chievo, but they’re likely to come up against tougher resistance this Saturday night despite being at their Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris.
Genoa have won four of their last seven in the Italian top flight, but this may well be a misleading trend of results as they’ve actually performed better away from home so far this season, than on their own home turf; five of Genoa’s seven league wins this term have been achieved on their travels with wins at Cagliari, Crotone, Hellas Verona, Lazio and Chievo.
Meanwhile at home, Genoa have posted a disappointing home record of 2-2-7 11/18, with wins only over lowly Benevento and Sassuolo to show for their troubles, while six defeats have been incurred against top half opposition so far this season.
Inter Milan bring a six match unbeaten run into this encounter with Genoa as the visitors look to cement their third place position in Serie A, and in turn, hold down a Champions League spot for next season.
However, too many stalemates in recent times have cost Inter a real serious challenge for the league title as they’ve been involved in six draws from their last nine matches, but with a decent looking away record of 5-5-1 15/8, they should at least avoid defeat in Genova on Saturday night.
Inter Milan possess the fourth best defensive record away from home in Serie A, and this solid foundation has been assisted by the clinical finishing of striker Icardi (18 goals) and Perisic (7 goals).
