Inter vs Monza sees last season’s Serie A champions open up at San Siro on Saturday, kicking off at 5.30pm (UK time), and the hosts are odds-on to begin with a comfortable win.

The Nerazzurri lifted the Scudetto last season and welcome newly promoted Monza to the San Siro as overwhelming favourites. Anthony Eadson has the best bets, a score prediction and the head-to-head record below.

Premium Tips

Anthony Eadson sees only one winner here, with the question being how many the champions run up against a promoted side.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Inter -1 match handicap 7/10Internazionale enter the new Serie A campaign as reigning champions and face a newly promoted Monza side at San Siro. The Nerazzurri scored 89 goals while collecting 87 points last season, and their superior quality should show against a Monza team returning to the top flight. Inter have also won their last three home meetings with Monza, so back Cristian Chivu’s side to make a statement by winning by two or more goals.
Over 2.5 goals4/6Inter’s attacking quality should make this an open contest at San Siro, particularly with Monza likely to leave spaces while chasing the game. The last two competitive meetings produced five goals apiece, while three of the last five head-to-heads have cleared 2.5 goals. Monza have also seen four of their last five matches finish with at least three goals, so back Over 2.5 Goals in this Serie A opener.

How Inter go into the game

Inter were champions last season and racked up 87 points and a league-high 89 goals. They begin the defence of their crown at a fortress San Siro, where their attacking depth makes them a match for anyone.

With European nights to look forward to again, Simone Inzaghi’s side will want a fast start. Against a promoted team, anything less than a convincing home win would be a surprise.

How Monza go into the game

Monza return to Serie A after promotion and face the hardest possible start on the road against the champions. They will need to be compact and disciplined simply to keep the score down.

Newly promoted sides can carry momentum, but a trip to San Siro on day one is a brutal welcome back to the top flight. Damage limitation may be the realistic aim.
