The Serie A returns to the fold this weekend as Inter Milan take on Spezia in an important clash at the San Siro on Sunday. Inter Milan have improved in recent weeks and have a point to prove going into this game.
Spezia are currently in 16th place in the Serie A standings and have flattered to deceive throughout their campaign. The newly-promoted fought hard to secure a 2-2 draw against Bologna during the week and will need to put in a similar performance in this game.
Inter Milan have been a resurgent force in the Serie A this month and are now only one point behind arch-rivals AC Milan in the league table. The Nerazzurri edged Napoli to a crucial 1-0 victory in their previous game and could potentially move to the top of the Serie A table this weekend.
Inter Milan vs Spezia Head-to-Head
Inter Milan have never played against Spezia in an official fixture and will want to get off to a positive start in this fixture. Antonio Conte's side has improved since the start of the season and is well-placed to win the first edition of this tie.
Spezia are likely to struggle against Inter Milan but are a feisty unit and will back themselves to take something away from this game. The away side put in a robust performance against Bologna last week and cannot afford to slip up in this match.
