Inter in Turin aiming to close in on title

A win would allow them to start preparing the celebrations and potentially give them the chance to secure the Scudetto next week in front of their own fans against Parma. On the back of reaching the Coppa Italia final thanks to their victory over Como, that is Inter’s objective as they now go in search of a fourth straight league win to earn their first Scudetto match point. The title could even be secured this weekend if the Nerazzurri take all three points and both Napoli and AC Milan fail to win. Torino, however, are unbeaten in their last three and will be aiming to extend that run after wins over Pisa and Verona and a draw with Cremonese.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

The official head-to-head record between the two sides in Turin stands at 90 meetings: 32 Granata wins (the most recent 1-0, Serie A 2018/19), 26 draws (the most recent 1-1, Serie A 2021/22) and 32 Nerazzurri victories (the most recent 0-2, Serie A 2024/25).

Torino have not beaten Inter at the Olimpico Grande Torino since 27 January 2019, a 1-0 Serie A win with a decisive goal from Izzo in the 35th minute.

Torino have gone without a home goal against Inter since 13 March 2022 (Torino 1-1 Inter, Serie A): Bremer scored for the Granata in the 12th minute. The drought stands at 348 minutes.
