After back to back wins over Juventus and Verona, Inter have won back their way into the title race. For a change, Inter have had a good return from the International break. Emphasising the fact that Inter have the easiest set of fixtures among the title contenders from here on the Spezia vs Inter fixture is a crucial one. As the Correa Dzeko pairing seems to have been working upfront, Inzaghi can give the pair another go against Spezia. More importantly, Inter will look to get all three points in this away fixture to capitalise on an out of form Milan side.
Thiago Motta’s Spezia have struggled despite having another outstanding season. Spezia have outdone themselves to stay away from a relegation battle. A tough nut to crack, they have also registered a win against Milan in this campaign. Inter can be in trouble if they take the home team lightly.
Spezia vs Inter Statistics and Encounters
After a disastrous period, Inter finally seem to have found their form. And what better time to spring back to form than the tail end of the season. Both Milan and Napoli were held in the last round of fixtures. This means that Inter are only two points off Milan with a game in hand. That means that Inzaghi’s side needs to make the most of the remaining fixtures and they can well and truly defend the title. Can they take their inspiring form to Stadio Alberto Picco?
Inter’s form: W-D-D-W-W
Spezia’s form: D-W-L-W-L
Not the most consistent out there but certainly among the ones which can surprise strong opponents.
