Inter Milan plan to make it six wins in a row on Friday night’s trip to a struggling Salernitana in Serie A.

A strong run of form has seen the reigning champions leapfrog AC Milan into first place in the Serie A table, having gone without defeat in their last nine league games (W7 D2).

Salernitana, meanwhile, have endured a miserable return to the Italian top flight. The Garnets are bottom in the standings, with only eight points to show from 17 games this season.

Current form — Salernitana v. Inter

The Garnets continue to flounder

Salernitana have had to endure a tough spell in their last 3 matches, from which they have nothing to show. They were beaten 2-0 by AC Milan, before Fiorentina ran out 4-0 winners. A third defeat on the trot followed against Genoa, who came out 1-0 winners.

The Nerazzurri are a bit back and forth

Inter are a bit back and forth at the moment, but at least mostly forth, as they beat Roma by 0-3. Following that up proved too difficult as they lost 2-0 against Real Madrid, before claiming 3 points in a 4-0 win against Cagliari.

How do the bookies view it?

Inter Milan are the overwhelming favorites to win on Friday in the eyes of the bookmakers. Mr. Green has priced an away win at 1.19, while betting on both sides to share the points returns odds of 8.00 with Betfair, while Bet365 offers 17.00 odds for those daring enough to go for a Salernitana victory.

Salernitana v. Inter — fixture history

As this is Salernitana’s first Serie A appearance in over 23 years, the Garnets haven’t faced Inter Milan in recent times. However, they have previously faced each other in other competitions.

Current table in the Serie A

The Serie A standings show that Salernitana and Inter are 32 points and 19 spots apart at the moment. Inter will be looking to claim all three points on Friday to show, they deserve the position at the fun end of the league table. Despite being outsiders, Salernitana will no doubt try to make life difficult for the favourites. There is every reason to be excited to see how this game pans out.

Top goalscorer

Despite having scored just once lately, Federico Bonazzoli is one of the players from Salernitana who we expect to be hitting the net again quite soon. Similarly, Inter have Hakan Calhanoglu on top of the list with 3 goals to his account at this point. Another player to keen an eye on from the visitors is Lautaro Martinez, who appears to be in top form at the moment.
