At 3:45 Beijing time on March 5, the 28th round of Serie A will start a key battle, inter Milan host Salernitana. In the previous three rounds of Serie A, Inter lost 7 points in 2 draws and 1 loss, which also led to the loss of the advantages accumulated by the Nerazzurri. Currently, Inter Milan are 3rd in Serie A, but if they can beat Salernitana, the Nerazzurri can still rush to the first place in Serie A. However, Inzaghi should also be wary of leading the team to create a 9-year record of shame.
Inter Milan have been in very bad shape lately, starting with a 1-1 draw against Napoli in serie A round 25, Inter Milan have failed to win five matches in all competitions, the most recent of which was a 0-0 draw with AC Milan in the semi-finals of the Italian Cup, and a 0-2 defeat to Liverpool in the Champions League. Inter also face a serious problem, with Inzaghi's side having gone over 400 minutes without a goal. The situation is even worse in Salenitana, with promoted horses currently at the bottom of Serie A, 11 points away from the relegation zone.
Key stats of the game:
Inter and Salernitana have played each other five times in Serie A, with China winning three and no draw between the two sides. In the first leg of the season, Inter beat Salernitana 5-0.
Inter won 10 of the 12 games against teams in the lower half of the table. The 83% win rate is the highest in Serie A this season.
Salernitana's last four Serie A games have been drawn, the longest serie A draw since Parma drew five consecutive games in 2019.
Inter have lost their last two home games to AC Milan and Sassuolo. The last time he lost three consecutive home games was in 2013, and Inzaghi struggled to avoid a 9-year record of humiliation.
In terms of hard power, Inter have a better chance of winning this game. Despite having gone more than 400 minutes without a goal, Inter remain the most attacking team in Serie A, with the Nerazzurri second in defence. In contrast, Salenitana, the team's 20 goals and 56 goals conceded are all at the bottom of Serie A. To make matters worse, Ribery missed the game due to a car accident and Salernitana lost the core of the team.
Without winning five games in all competitions, Inter desperately need a win to stabilize morale. It is clear that Inter Milan are under great pressure, in addition to the surge in the suspense of the Serie A title, Inter have also fallen behind Liverpool by 2 goals in the Champions League, and there is also a risk of being eliminated by AC Milan in the Italian Cup. At present, the advantages established by Inter in the Serie A league are no longer there, and they are two points behind Napoli and Milan in one less game. Even if this game is won, Inter's advantage is only 1 point.
At the moment, the situation for Inter Milan is very bad, and the enemy on all sides is facing great pressure. Of course, Inter's next schedule is more optimistic, except for the Champions League against Liverpool, the opponents encountered in Serie A are not too strong. Perhaps Inter should appropriately abandon some fronts and go all out to re-establish their advantage in Serie A.
