Half Time/Full Time – Inter Milan/Inter Milan
Spezia have gone seven games without tasting victory in Serie A and they are unlikely to improve their run against a strong Inter Milan outfit this week. The Nerazzurri eased to a 3-0 when the sides last met in August and they had their noses in front at both half and full time in what was a routine triumph. The first of our football betting tips backs the more formidable visitors to hold an advantage at half and full time again in the return fixture on Friday.
Both Teams to Score – No
Struggling Spezia have had a really tough time of it in the goal-scoring department this term and only two clubs in Serie A have rattled the net less often in the division since August. At home, they’ve gone a dreadful five straight matches without scoring and on Friday they host an Inter defence that has shipped just two goals in their last five league matches combined. Spezia could toil against that well-organized backline this week, so back both teams not to score at the Stadio Alberto Picco.

Let's take a closer look at the latest markets, odds and probability figures ahead of Monday’s tussle between Spezia and Inter Milan below.
Spezia odds: 31/5 (7.2) – 13.9%
Draw odds: 37/10 (4.7) – 21.3%
Inter Milan odds: 9/20 (1.45) – 69%
The bookmakers think the probability of an Inter Milan win on Friday is 59%, while the market-setters are also anticipating plenty of action this week judging by their 7/10 (1.7 – 58.8% probability) odds for over 2.5 goals to land. A 1-0 win in favour of Inter Milan is the option with the lowest price in the correct score stakes at 11/2 (6.5), however, which doesn’t quite line-up with that high-scoring expectation from before. That has a probability rating of just 15.4%.
