Inter Milan has been winless in four consecutive matches after settling for a draw against Bologna prior to their three-game losing slide.

Their last match was a sorry 1-2 loss to middling club Atalanta at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia last Sunday, as per Reuters.

Inter surrendered the early lead after the defense failed to pick up defender Andre Masiello, who headed in the opening goal from close range off a pass from teammate Jasmin Kurtic. The one-point lead stayed until the halftime break.

I Nerazzurri was able to equalize in the 50th minute with a right-footer from Italian striker Eder following a free kick.

However, Inter surrendered the win after Davide Santon fouled Franck Kessie inside the penalty area, which led to Atalanta hitting the winning goal courtesy of a spot kick by Chilean forward Mauricio Pinilla.

Meanwhile, Torino extended their unbeaten run to six games after settling to a 2-2 draw with fellow contending team Lazio at their home ground of Olimpico di Torino last Sunday, BBC Sport reported.

Torino winger Iago Falque broke the game's deadlock in the 20th minute with a header from the center of the box from a cross by teammate Davide Zappacosta.

Lazio then scored the next two goals, courtesy of Ciro Immobile and Alessandro Murgia in the 71st and 84th minutes respectively, to grab the lead.

Head coach Siniša Mihajlović's side managed to salvage the draw, however, after winger Adem Ljajic found the equalizer in stoppage time, hitting his penalty kick off a hand ball by Marco Parolo.

Prediction and Predicted Lineup

The predicted result is a 1-0 victory for Torino.

Inter Milan starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Handanovic; Nagatomo, Miranda, Murillo, Santon; Mario, Medel, Brozovic; Perisic, Icardi, Eder

Torino starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Hart; Zappacosta, Rossettini, Castan, Barreca; Benassi, Valdifiori, Baselli; Falque, Belotti, Ljajic
