Dream11 Fantasy Soccer: Inter Milan v. Torino Preview

This article is part of our Dream11 Fantasy Soccer series.

Game Preview

Inter Milan have not been playing well over the last few games, notching just two wins from their last five. They're coming off a 2-2 draw at Verona but, at the very least, their games have been entertaining – six of Inter's last seven matches have seen both teams score and six have also netted three or more total goals, so there will be action either way regardless of the final score. Torino, on the other hand, enter this matchup on high spirits since they are coming off a 3-1 home win over Brescia, which snapped their three-game losing skid. They have gone just W2, L3 in their last five, however, and remain under relegation threat. They arrive into this matchup as outsiders, but have enough power to create havoc on Inter's defensive line since they've found the back of the net in each of their last seven Serie A matches, going W2, D1, L4 across that stretch.

Recent Form

Inter Milan: W2, D2, L1

Torino: W2, L3

Top Picks

Lautaro Martinez, Inter Milan: Martinez hasn't scored in his last five Serie A appearances, but he is bound to get another start with Romelu Lukaku being doubtful for this contest. The Argentina international has 12 goals in 28 appearances this season and is likely to end his drought sooner than later.

Alexis Sanchez, Inter Milan: Andrea Belotti from Torino might be a strong choice since he has scored in five straight matches, but Sanchez gets the nod since he can form a great partnership with Lautaro Martinez upfront. The Chilean winger has one goal and three assists in his last three starts for Inter while creating 12 chances during that span.

Captain and Vice-Captain Options

  1. Lautaro Martinez
  2. Alexis Sanchez
  3. Samir Handanovic
  4. Andrea Belotti
