Inter take on the visitors Monza in the round 1 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, August 19th at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro – Milan).
Inter performed decently last season. The Nerazzurri invited Simone Inzaghi after the departure of Antonio Conte, who faced financial difficulties in the project. The new coach couldn't replicate the results achieved under Conte and win the Scudetto. But it's unlikely anyone could have achieved more under the circumstances. The young coach dealt with setbacks at the start of the 2022/2023 season. In the end, he maintained the Nerazzurri at the level of Serie A leaders (finishing in 3rd place in the final league table) and defended their cup holder status. Additionally, the Italians reached the final of the Champions League, where, however, Manchester City proved to be stronger. Now, the coach had to rebuild the squad from scratch. Important players like Onana, Acerbi, Skriniar, Brozovic, Dzeko, and Lukaku were sold or released. Yes, newcomers like Marcus Thuram, Zomer (they also temporarily loaned the goalkeeper Audero from Sampdoria), Frattesi, Bissek, and Augusto appeared. However, it's still difficult to claim that the squad has become stronger; visually, it seems quite the opposite for now...

Monza lost its actual creator. The Red and Whites would continue to lead a modest existence in the semi-amateur leagues of Italy. But Berlusconi suddenly decided to return to football and chose a team from the suburbs of his Milan for that purpose. The enthusiasm and significant investments of this millionaire led to the club's debut in Serie A. And by placing a bet on Palladino (his predecessor was removed after failures at the beginning, and initially, Rafaelle with his zero coaching experience was just an interim), the team secured itself among the mid-table teams, finishing in the 11th position. However, Silvio passed away, which could have been a fatal blow to the project. Nevertheless, for now, everything looks optimistic. Yes, the loans of several players, like Sensi and Marlon, ended. But they acquired the contracts of Cranio, Pablo Mari, Pessina, Petagna, and Caprari, kept Itzzo, and brought in D'Ambrosio. They also arranged new loans from the giants - Gori, Carboni, and Chittadini. There are losses too, as Augusto moved precisely to Inter. But overall, the team looks viable.
Last season, the debutant managed to take 4 points in matches against giants. First, there was a 2-2 draw on the newcomer's field, and then they even won at the Giuseppe Meazza. It's time for the Nerazzurri to take revenge, especially since the match will be held in Milan. We recommend betting on the victory of the home team with a handicap of -1.0 goals.
Prediction for the match: Inter to win with -1.0 handicap.
