Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Inter will be aiming to celebrate their Scudetto when they take on Torino on Matchday 34. The Nerazzurri clinched their 20th Serie A trophy thanks to a 2-1 win over their bitter rivals Milan and they must be brimming with confidence ahead of Saturday’s clash. Denzel Dumfries is banned for the match following his sending-off in the Derby della Madonnina, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Il Toro, on the other hand, will look to spoil Inter’s party at “Meazza” and keep their Conference League hopes alive, but seeing that Simone Inzaghi’s men want to put icing on the cake on a very successful season, home win should be considered. In each of their last three meetings in the Italian top flight Inter defeated Torino and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Both Pietro Pellegri and Gvidas Ginetis are out of contention with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Hakan Calhanoglu):
Hakan Calhanoglu is another one in the long line of Turkish footballers who were born in Germany, so it is hardly surprising he came to prominence thanks to his performances in Bundesliga. The attacking midfielder with great vision and very good goalscoring record started his professional career at Karlsruher, scoring impressive 17 goals in 50 league outings to earn a move to Bundesliga side Hamburg.
The spell at Imtech Arena was merely a stepping stone for bigger things as 11 goals in his debut top flight campaign persuaded Bayer Leverkusen to splash nearly €15 million on his services. That proved a very good investment as Calhanoglu continued the rich vein of form, and it is now a matter of time before he joins one of European powerhouses.
The midfield maestro had a bright start to his career in the Turkey national team, scoring 5 goals in first 16 caps, and chances are he will become a leader for Milli Takim in the foreseeable future.
