Inter Milan vs Salzburg Predictions and Odds
This will be the first friendly match for both teams since the season took a break for the World Cup.
Both Teams to Score – Yes
Both teams like to score goals, Inter is the second-best scoring juggernaut in Serie A with 34 goals, just behind the league leaders Napoli, while RB Salzburg has been the dominant force in the Austrian Bundesliga for the past decade.
Over 2.5 Goals
Continuation of their scoring prowess. The game will be played in Malta where both teams will start their preparation for the next phase of the season. Inter is the best ‘over’ team in Italy with 12 games with two or more goals scored per game, while Salzburg, curiously, is in the bottom three of the Austrian league, but the reason for that contradiction is that their opponents are lacking strength compared to the champions.
Draw
It’s the first game for both teams, they are all missing some players due to World Cup, and winning a match isn’t the most important thing at the moment.
Inter Milan vs Salzburg Preview: Getting things in order
Inter Milan
Inter has been terrific in Serie when it comes to their offense, however, their defensive work needs a lot of work. They have allowed 22 goals this season in 15 games, the only teams that are worse in that aspect are the ones from the bottom part of the Serie A rankings. Coach Simone Inzaghi doesn’t have all of its squad available because of the Qatar tournament, but at least he will get the chance to work with his defenders, to make sure they are ready to restart to league campaign when the time comes. Their goal is always to fight for the title, but as of now, that doesn’t seem realistic because Napoli is playing practically without a flaw. However, the minimum goal that Inter wants to achieve this season is advancing to the Champions League.
Salzburg
The most dominating team in Austrian football has had a very good first part of the season. They will continue their European adventure in the Europa League after finishing the Champions League campaign in third place during the group stage behind AC Milan and Chelsea. Salzburg has been incredible the last few years in producing talented players that have been sold for huge amounts of money, and some of those players are now playing in the world’s best clubs like Erling Haaland. They have restarted their training camp before the actual winter break as their season in Austria will start again in the first part of February. They are, as expected, the leaders in their league after 16 matches played. Salzburg will look at the January transfer window to potentially bring some reinforcements for the second part of the season, but they also might sell a few players as they often do when the price is right.
