Inter will begin their title-defence quest with the clash against Genoa on Saturday afternoon at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris.
The Nerazzurri cruised past the rivals in the previous term of Serie A, finishing the campaign 19 points clear at the top of the standings.
They will enter the new season with similar ambitions, having kept the core of the last year’s team.
That said, Inter Milan failed to impress in the latest exhibitions. They are winless in three straight outings, scoring just twice in the process.
Genoa advanced to the second round of Coppa Italia with a 1-0 win over lower-division Reggiana last Friday.
Junior Messias made the difference with a last-gasp winner in a match in which Genoa fired 13 shots on target.
Genoa vs Inter Milan Prediction
Inter Milan enter this on the back of eight wins and two draws in the last ten meetings with Genoa.
Knowing how impressive the visitors have been in the previous Serie A term, it is very hard to predict anything other than a commanding victory for them at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris.
Genoa did win four of their previous five matches but the gulf in quality between the two teams is just too significant.
The away win is worth backing at the 1.55 odds but we will be braver and take the 2.40 odds offered for Inter Milan to have the lead at the half time and win the match at the end.
