Our prediction for this Serie A match:
After sharing the spoils with Napoli and Spezia, Inter will be aiming to cement top position in the standings when they host Verona at their Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. The Nerazzurri are ten points clear of second-place Milan, meaning that a win over Verona will see them move one step closer towards winning the Scudetto. Aleksandar Kolarov and Arturo Vidal remain in the recovery room, but Antonio Conte has no fresh injury worries ahead of the visit of Verona.
The Mastini, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing each of their last three league fixtures. Verona have absolutely nothing to play for in the season finale, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. Sturaro is sidelined through suspension, while Ceccherini, Veloso, Vieira, and Lovato all miss the game through injuries. In the first half of the season Inter recorded a 2-1 win over Verona in the “City of Love”.
