Comfortable for the Saints
Inter Milan have shown themselves to be a very inconsistent team this season. They have defeated Juventus at home in Serie A but also lost to Cagliari at the San Siro. Southampton on the other hand, have been very consistent at home, stretching back to March of last season. If Southampton start the match well, this could be a long night for Inter.
