plays host to Inter versus Torino in Serie A, Regular Season - 15. Kick-off: Sunday 13 December 2026 at 17:30 UTC.

Form & Momentum

Inter have collected 2.40 PPG across 10 Serie A outings this season: 7W 3D 0L. Last five: D D W W W. They are averaging 2.60 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets. Inter have played only a handful of Serie A games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

In front of their own supporters this season, Inter have posted 8W 2D 0L at — 2.60 PPG. They are averaging 3.00 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. Both teams have scored in 70% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture.

Torino (all games): 3W 3D 4L across 10 Serie A outings this term — 1.20 points per game. Last five: L D L L W. Their scoring rate of 1.30 per game is modest, conceding 1.50 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in 80% of their matches this season — one of the stronger BTTS rates in the division, making Yes a well-evidenced play. Torino have played only a handful of Serie A games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

Torino away from home this season: 2W 2D 6L from 10 away games — 0.80 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 1.00 goals scored and 1.70 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context.

Form favours the hosts. Inter's 2.40 PPG return is 1.20 points per game ahead of Torino's 1.20 — a genuine gap in recent results that provides a statistically grounded case for backing the home side.

In terms of goals, both squads have been finding the net consistently (using home/away splits) — Inter have seen both teams score in 70% of their games, Torino in 60%. That combined rate is a strong statistical case for BTTS Yes as a standalone play.

Head-to-Head

Historically, Inter have had the better of this match-up — 8 wins from 10 meetings, with Torino managing just 0 victories and 2 draws shared.

The 10 previous meetings have averaged 2.6 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 26 Apr 2026, ended 2–2 with a draw.

The historical record gives Inter a meaningful edge here — 8 wins from 10 meetings is the kind of ledger that should not be discounted when the form picture is inconclusive. Even away from home, the visitors have struggled to impose themselves in this fixture.

Trading

Inter half-time and goal-timing data (41 games, 21 at home): they score before half-time in 71% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 67% of those occasions; they lead at the break 54% of the time; BTTS occurs in 57% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 67% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 39%; they keep a clean sheet 46% of the time.

Torino half-time and goal-timing data (41 games, 21 at away): they score before half-time in 67% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 67% of the time; BTTS occurs in 43% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 62% of games (away games).

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Inter 49% versus Torino 54%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Inter 56% | Torino 66%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Inter 2.25 xG and Torino 1.26 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Inter attack 1.578 / defence 0.969 | Torino attack 0.941 / defence 1.133. League average goals — home 1.259 / away 1.385. Inter carry an above-average attack strength of 1.578 — their λ of 2.25 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Data: 41 Inter games / 41 Torino games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Inter 60% | Draw 20% | Torino 21%. Fair-value odds: Inter 1.67 | Draw 5.00 | Torino 4.76. The model has a clear lean to Inter (60%) — a 39pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 68% | BTTS probability 64% | Total xG 3.51. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 68% — a total xG of 3.51 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 64% reflects that both xG figures (2.25 / 1.26) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Inter at 60% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 20% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.51 combined xG gives a 68% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 3.4 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 64%. Form rates corroborate: Inter 70% | Torino 60% BTTS from recent games.
