Inter Milan, fresh off their Champions League semi-final victory over Barcelona, is now turning its attention back to Serie A as it faces Torino at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino. With the Scudetto race heating up, this match is pivotal for Inter’s title aspirations.

Currently second in the league, Inter trails leaders Napoli by three points. A win against Torino would keep the pressure on Napoli, who host Genoa later the same day. Inter’s recent form has been mixed, with two wins, a draw, and two losses in their last five matches.

However, their resilience was on full display in the Champions League, where they secured a 7-6 aggregate win over Barcelona, thanks to an extra-time goal from Davide Frattesi.

Manager Simone Inzaghi is expected to rotate his squad to manage fatigue. Forwards Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram, both recovering from injuries, are likely to be rested. Marko Arnautovic and Joaquin Correa are set to lead the attack, while Frattesi, who has been impactful off the bench, is anticipated to start in midfield.

Sitting 11th in the table, Torino has had a season of mixed results. Their recent form includes one win, two draws, and two losses in their last five matches.

They’ll be aiming to capitalize on any signs of fatigue in the Inter squad. However, Torino’s recent history against Inter isn’t favorable, having lost their last four Serie A games against the Nerazzurri without scoring a single goal.

This match is more than just a regular league fixture; it’s a test of Inter’s depth and determination as they juggle domestic and European commitments. A victory here would not only keep their title hopes alive but also demonstrate their ability to maintain focus amidst a congested schedule.

For Torino, this is an opportunity to disrupt Inter’s momentum and climb higher in the standings. With home advantage and the motivation to end their winless streak against Inter, they’ll be looking to make a statement.
