Inter are Champions of Italy with four rounds to spare, but that doesn’t mean they’ll take it easy against Sampdoria. Read our reasons for Inter vs Sampdoria prediction and betting tips.
Antonio Conte will never hold back or allow his teams to give less than 100 percent, even if the title has already been secured, so expect relatively few changes to the starting XI. Conte insists Inter ‘play modern football,’ explaining how they mutated tactically and why Ivan Perisic went from outcast to key player. ‘Inter are no longer players who participated. They are players who won.’ The Nerazzurri secured their 19th Serie A title this afternoon, their first in 11 years, ending the nine-season Juventus dominance. “We feel happy, satisfied, relaxed because bringing the Scudetto back to Inter with four rounds to spare makes us very happy,” Conte told the media. “We want to continue doing well for the remaining four rounds and give space to those who haven’t played as much. They know what I expect from them and what we want to see.”
Inter locked down their defense in the last 17 rounds and that proved a huge difference, as during that period they were trailing for a total of 45 minutes. “There was tactical progress. Over the years we tried a few different options. We had started a bit like we ended last season, pressing high all over the pitch, and that brought good results, as we finished one point behind Juventus and reached the Europa League Final. In the first 10-12 games this season, we tried to have that same identity. However, the opponents study you and we were often caught out on the counter-attack. The issue this year was our opponents found the right counter-measures. I think a winning team must have a balance between attacking and defending. The lads learned to read the game and which moment to press, which moment to sit back in our half and wait. That’s the sign of a mature team.”
Inter (3-5-2): Handanovic; Skriniar, De Vrij, A Bastoni; Hakimi, Barella, Brozovic, Sensi, Darmian; Lukaku, Lautaro Martinez
Suspended: None

Samp have are comfortably mid-table and fresh from a victory over Roma, so they too are out to play with Manolo Gabbiadini and Fabio Quagliarella. They are the last Serie A side to have beaten Inter, 2-1 back on January 6. Samp won against Roma but they had some troubles at the start of the match. Mayoral almost scored in the opening 90 seconds, but Lorenzo Tonelli threw himself in the way for a decisive block. Manolo Gabbiadini couldn’t quite connect to a Jakub Jankto ball floated over the top, but again Tonelli stopped Mayoral scoring with the inside of the left boot, as that was heading into the top corner. Valerio Verre should’ve done better when drilling wide from just inside the area, then moments later Morten Thorsby stung Fuzato’s gloves at the near post. Samp was taking more control as the half wore on, though still ran a risk when Dzeko hit the side-netting after running onto a Henrikh Mkhitaryan slide-rule pass.
The Blucerchiati did take the lead on the stroke of half-time. Marash Kumbulla slipped, allowing Thorsby to burst into the box and pull back for Adrien Silva to score relatively undisturbed from 14 yards. Dzeko had another goal ruled offside when running onto the Bryan Cristante through ball, but Samp timed their run perfectly when Jakub Jankto went clear to drill past Fuzato. Incredibly, Roma had their third goal ruled offside moments later, this time with Mayoral, although it was Dzeko who once more was caught out. The Giallorossi did receive a penalty when Tommaso Augello stuck out an arm to charge down Mancini’s cross. However, third-choice spot-kick taker Dzeko saw Emil Audero keep it out with a splendid one-handed save on the line. Fuzato also needed a good save to keep out the Keita Balde Diao deflected strike from distance, but Roma was visibly sapped both physically and mentally. Fuzato kept the scoreline down late on from Keita and Antonio Candreva.
Sampdoria (4-4-2): Audero; Bereszynski, Yoshida, Colley, Augello; Damsgaard, Thorsby, Silva, Jankto; Quagliarella, Gabbiadini
Suspended: None

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
