Inter Milan maintained their Serie A title hopes with a 1-0 victory over Hellas Verona, thanks to an early penalty by Kristjan Asllani. The result keeps Inter on 74 points, three behind leaders Napoli. This win was crucial for Inter's campaign, as they rested several key players ahead of their Champions League clash with Barcelona next week.

The match at San Siro, Milan, kicked off at 11:45 am PT / 2:45 pm ET on Saturday, May 3. Inter Milan, despite suffering back-to-back league losses against Bologna and Roma, showed resilience to secure the three points. Verona, who are in a similar predicament, will need to return to winning ways to avoid the relegation battle.

The Nerazzurri's victory was secured through a penalty, awarded in the first half. Asllani's successful conversion from the spot gave Inter the lead and ultimately the match. This result is a significant boost to Inter's Serie A title aspirations, as they move closer to challenging Napoli's lead.

Inter Milan's head coach, Simone Inzaghi, and midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu both served a one-match ban, while Lautaro Martinez is feared to have picked a thigh injury in the mid-week Champions League semi-final outing against Barcelona. Defender Benjamin Pavard is sidelined with an ankle injury. Verona's top scorer, Casper Tengstedt, faces fitness concerns, but Tomas Suslov is back in contention after recovering from a virus.

The head-to-head record between Inter and Verona favors Inter, with four wins in the last five matches. Inter has scored 16 goals in these matches, with three games resulting in over 2.5 goals. Both teams have scored in two out of the five matches.

This victory is a testament to Inter Milan's resilience and determination, as they continue to push for the Serie A title. Their upcoming Champions League match against Barcelona will be a crucial test of their form and fitness.
