Looking at today's Serie A matchup between Inter and Hellas Verona, we've got quite the contest on our hands.
The goalie situation is interesting. For Inter, Sommer's been doing a solid job between the sticks. His save count sitting at 14 with a 6.94 rating. For Hellas, Montipò has been decent too. He has 7 saves in the bank at a 6.92 rating. Maybe they'd be performing better if they were scoring, and not just saving?
We're looking at some standout players for both squads. Hellas Verona’s iron strides - Valentini, Duda and Ghilardi are prominently shining with nicest ratings. Their goals? Zilch. Maybe they're just great at playing Hide and Seek with the ball. On Inter's side of the equation, we've got players like Mkhitaryan, de Vrij, and Augusto, who are excelling despite not scoring. Goals seem to be an endangered species with these guys too!
Used to be some real knock-down, drag-out fights in these past matchups. But recently? It's been more one-sided than a pancake. In their past encounters, Inter's clearly been the master of ceremonies, with pretty significant wins.
Hellas Verona's desperately trying to get friends with victory with their 9 wins, 5 draws, and the unattractive 20 losses. Inter, on the other hand, is probably high-fivin' themselves in the locker room with their 21 wins, 8 draws, and only 5 losses this season.
Taking a glance at recent games, Hellas Verona appears to be resembling a car without an engine - they ain't going anywhere, with a string of goalless games. Inter, on the other hand, took a couple of punches, but also managed to net a few wins recently.
Overall, after considering the chronic allergy to winning seen in Hellas Verona's history, alongside Inter's noticeably superior track record and performance, I’d say put your money where Inter is.
