Lecce vs Inter Milan Prediction & Match Preview

• Inter Milan visit Stadio Comunale Via del Mare on the back of nine successive wins across competitions.
• I Nerazzurri kept their net untouched in six of the previous seven outings in all competitions.
• Lecce shipped at least two goals in five consecutive league affairs.

Inter Milan have been struggling a lot to break the deadlock against the stubborn Atletico Madrid defence on Tuesday night in the Champions League. However, they eventually managed to do it through substitute Marko Arnautovic eleven minutes from time. The Austrian striker came on at the half-time for injured Marcus Thuram.

I Nerazzurri return to domestic league on Sunday afternoon. They visit Stadio Ettore Giardiniero – Via del Mare to take on Lecce in Matchday No 26. Simone Inzaghi’s men increased the gap at the top of the standings with an easy home win over Salernitana last Friday. They have all but clinched Scudetto with a nine-point advantage and a game in hand on second-placed Juventus.

Inter are big favourites here against Lecce as well. The hosts lost four of the previous five league outings. They are now only four points above the danger zone in the Serie A table. The latest of Lecce’s failures came last Friday when Roberto D’Aversa’s men lost 0-2 away at Torino.

Recent Meetings

On top of form, Inter Milan have tradition to back them up in this matchup. I Nerazzurri won four and drew one of the previous five meetings with Lecce.

Inter Milan celebrated a 2-0 win in the reverse game in December last year at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.

Only one of the previous four H2H matches between these counterparts provided three or more goals.

Lecce vs Inter Milan Prediction

Lecce have been struggling badly to keep things quiet at the back of late. They shipped two or more goals in each of the last five league affairs. It is by no means the kind of form you want to have ahead of the clash with the division’s deadliest attacking line. Inter Milan will enter this on the back of nine consecutive wins across competitions. They’ve kept their net untouched in six of the last seven affairs along the way. I Nerazzurri limited Atletico Madrid to zero shots on target on Tuesday night in the UEFA Champions League. This should be as one-sided affair as one can imagine. You can back Inter Milan to have the lead at the half time and win the match at the end at the lucrative 2.20 odds.

Simone Inzaghi’s attacking options became limited with the injury to Marcus Thuram. Inter Milan will have a tough game against Atalanta on Tuesday evening. We would not be surprised to see Inzaghi giving a rest to his top scorer Lautaro Martinez. Marko Arnautovic and Alexis Sanchez may be handed starts on Sunday at Stadio Via del Mare. We see big value in backing Arnautovic to score anytime at the 2.60 odds.
