Our betting expert expects Inter Milan to clinch maximum points against Pisa and consolidate top spot in Serie A.\u00a0<\/p>\n
All odds are courtesy of bet365, correct at the time of publishing and subject to change.\u00a0\u2028<\/strong><\/p>\n Domestically, Inter have been close to perfection this season, winning 16 of their 21 league outings. They boast the best home record in the division, securing 25 points so far. This is an indication of how formidable they are in front of their fans.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Nerazzurri have been dominant from the start in Serie A, scoring the first goal in 18 of their 21 fixtures so far. As a result, they ultimately won 11 first halves of football, accounting for 52% of their total league matches. At the San Siro, they led at the break in six of their 11 games.\u00a0<\/p>\n Inter converted every halftime victory into three points at the final whistle. Meanwhile, Pisa have lost at halftime in four of their 10 Serie A away dates this term (40%). The visitors also have the worst away record in the division, and have yet to win a game.\u00a0<\/p>\n Additionally, the Black and Blue have drawn 11 of their 21. However, Inter’s 2-0 victory in the reverse fixture suggests the visitors are unlikely to secure a point in this match.<\/p>\n Chivu\u2019s troops boast the best attackers, having scored 44 goals in total, 10 more than their nearest rivals, AC Milan. They average just over two goals per match. However, Inter netted 27 goals in 11 home games, which equates to an average of 2.45 per game.\u00a0<\/p>\n They\u2019ve also been stingy at the back, allowing the opposition to score a measly eight times across 11 home outings. Meanwhile, the visitors have only managed to score 16 goals in their 21 games at an average of 0.76 goals per game.\u00a0<\/p>\n While they have a better scoring record on the road, they\u2019ve failed to find the back of the net in 20% of their Serie A away dates. Altogether, Gilardino\u2019s men haven\u2019t scored in 52% of their league matches, regardless of the venue.\u00a0<\/p>\n Pisa registered a blank in their last meeting with Inter Milan, which is why it\u2019s a likely outcome again. Three of the hosts\u2019 last four league matches produced a victory for them by nil. Chivu\u2019s side prevented the opposition from scoring in 52% of their games that resulted in a victory.<\/p>\n Arsenal successfully limited the impact of Inter captain Lautaro Martinez in their Champions League match. However, the Argentine has served as the backbone of Inter\u2019s forays up front this season. In Serie A alone, Martinez netted 11 goals in total, accounting for 25% of the team\u2019s tally.\u00a0<\/p>\n He scored last weekend in their 1-0 win at Udinese to make it four goals from his previous eight club appearances. Since he scores in every other game, the blank during the week means he is destined to get onto the scoresheet.\u00a0<\/p>\n Additionally, Martinez scored a brace when these sides previously met in the reverse fixture, so he is one of the primary candidates to score on Friday night.\u00a0<\/p>\nDominant from the start<\/h2>\n
