Verona take on the visitors Inter in the round 38 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, April 26th at Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi (Verona).
Verona secured their place in Serie A for at least another year ahead of schedule. This season, staying in the top tier of Italian football was not as difficult for the team as it was last year. In the final match of the championship, which holds no tournament significance for the hosts, Verona will welcome the best team in the country - Inter. Most likely, the hosts won't even manage a draw in the upcoming match. Recently, the Mastiffs have been losing more at home than away. Notable recent home defeats include losses to Milan (1-3), Genoa (1-2), and Torino (1-3).

Inter secured the championship early, with a significant gap from their pursuers. One might say that the upcoming match against Verona are meaningless for the visitors, and the Milanese won't exert themselves for an away victory. However, it’s better not to think this way. Yes, sometimes an unmotivated champion allows themselves to relax at the end of the season (a draw with Lazio, for example, or a loss to Sassuolo). But at the same time, in their most recent away match, Simone Inzaghi's team steamrolled Frosinone (5-0), who, unlike them, was motivated to earn points in the battle for survival. Historically, Inter is an uncomfortable opponent for Verona, having won the last seven consecutive meetings.
Inter secured the championship several rounds ago and has no further motivation, but this does not negate the fact that they are the clear favorites in this match. For Verona, the final match of the season holds no significance in terms of points, as the Mastiffs are guaranteed to stay in Serie A for at least another season. In this situation, I am simply betting on the favorite to win. Inter are objectively much higher in class than their opponent and will likely put a strong championship-ending statement with a routine victory over the Yellow and Blues. My prediction is an away win for Inter.
Prediction for the match: Inter to win.
