Inter Milan vs Monza Prediction: Will Simone Inzaghi's team take revenge against the Red-Whites?

Last season, Inter lost to Monza on their home field. The first round of the new championship gives the Nerazzurri a chance to take revenge on the Red and White. Will Simone Inzaghi's team take advantage of it?

Inter Milan

Simone Inzaghi's team can undoubtedly take last season as an achievement. Although the Black and Blues finished only third in the championship, Inter won the Italian and Super Cup and reached the Champions League final.

In the off-season, Inter's squad has changed considerably. Andre Onana moved to Manchester United, and instead of him, the Swiss national team goalkeeper Jan Sommer was invited to the position of the main goalkeeper. To replace Marcelo Brozovic, who left for Saudi Arabia, Sassuolo player Davide Frattesi was acquired in the center of midfield. Two strikers were added to Inter's squad at once - Marko Arnautovic from Bologna and Markus Thuram from Borussia Gladbach. This is also an understandable move, given that Edin Dzeko has left and Romelu Lukaku will leave. Also of note is the move of Juventus' Juan Cuadrado to replace Robin Gosens, who has moved to Union Berlin, and young defender Yann Aurel Bisseck, bought to replace Milan Skriniar, who signed with PSG.

Monza

Unlike Inter, Monza's squad remains roughly the same as last season. They gave to the same Inter flank player Carlos Augusto and bought out the contracts of Matteo Pessina, Andrea Petagna, Gianluca Caprari, and Pablo Mari. Raffaele Palladino has been retained in the coaching position for another season.

In the first official match of the new season, Monza lost at home field to Reggiana (1:2) and dropped out of the Italian Cup.

Expert Betting Tips

For Inter, it is fundamental to outplay Monza in the upcoming match, even though this is the first round, and the meeting outcome does not decide much. Last season, the Nerazzurri lost to the Red and White on their home field and failed to beat them away, ending in a 2:2 draw. Increased motivation is an additional factor in favor of Inter's victory, which is worth adding to the significant superiority in class. We bet on the success of Simone Inzaghi's team, as well as high performance. Last season Inter was one of the most high-scoring teams in Serie A and effectively held friendly matches ahead of the start of the new championship.
