The upcoming 22nd round of Serie A kicks off in Milan, where Inter Milan will host strugglers Pisa. Earlier this week the hosts produced a poor performance at home against Arsenal and lost 1:3, so they now have to work hard to make amends.
Inter Milan
One of the main reasons for the defeat against Arsenal was the absence of Hakan Çalhanoğlu. The Turkish midfielder is the key creative player in Inter Milan’s attack, so it is no surprise that in the three matches without him, Cristian Chivu’s side have scored only once per game. In addition, Lautaro Martínez is going through another goal drought, with just one goal in his last five matches.
Pisa
A week ago Pisa surprised many by taking points off Atalanta BC in a 1:1 draw. They even had decent chances to win, having failed to convert a couple of clear-cut counter-attacks. It is clear that in Milan Alberto Gilardino will not change his approach and will once again set the side up in a very deep defensive block.
Inter Milan vs Pisa Prediction
Inter Milan expended a lot of energy in the match against Arsenal, so breaking down Pisa’s defence will be far from straightforward. A heavy win for the hosts is unlikely. We would not be surprised at all if they were to drop points.
