Inter Milan vs Arsenal Predictions

• Arsenal have won just one of their last five away matches
• Both teams have scored in two of the Gunners’ last 17 road games
• Inter Milan have kept five clean sheets in their last seven matches

Gunners have struggled on the road

It is beginning to look a tough task for Arsenal to push for the Premier League title as they have slipped seven points behind leaders Liverpool and their away form has given the greatest cause for concern.

Mikel Arteta’s side have lost their last two league games on the road to Bournemouth and Newcastle and their performance in Saturday’s 1-0 loss at St James’ Park was particularly disappointing.

A Carabao Cup success at Championship Preston is the only victory they have tasted in their last five road outings and they face a tough task to put that right when they pay Serie A holders Inter Milan a Champions League visit on Wednesday.

It looks set to be a tight encounter and Arteta will at least take something from the fact they have yet to concede in three European games this season, including their last visit to Italy when a David Raya penalty save earned them a goalless draw at Atalanta.

However, they scored more than once in just one of their five Champions League away games last season and this looks a match where under 2.5 goals looks likely to be a winning bet.

Expect Inter to hold firm

Inter share the Gunners’ habit of being frugal in their defensive third and the only time recently they have not held firm was in a 4-4 draw at home to Juventus.

They sit a point behind leaders Napoli and have also maintained three Champions League clean sheets, one of which came in a goalless draw at Manchester City.

Given Arsenal’s current issues on the road, though, those looking for a correct-score prediction may just want to have a bet on Inter banking a 1-0 victory.

Martinez can make his mark

If that is to be the case, the most likely man to do the damage is Inter’s Argentinian striker Lautaro Martinez.

He has scored six goals of his last nine outings for the Serie A champions and broke his duck in this season’s competition when he netted in the 4-0 victory over Red Star Belgrade, so he is clearly at the top of his game.
