Inter finished the last season 19 points clear at the top of the Serie A standings.
They have entered the new campaign as firm favourites for the title. The Nerazzurri kept the core of the last season’s team, adding the likes of Piotr Zielinski and Mehdi Taremi to the mix.
However, Simone Inzaghi’s men did not look great on the opening day. They slipped up right away, playing only a 2-2 stalemate away at Genoa last weekend.
The only bright side in the team was Marcus Thuram who completed a brace at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris.
Inter Milan will get a great opportunity to rebound immediately. They play host to Lecce on Saturday evening in Matchday No 2 at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.
Lecce opened the season in a catastrophic way. They were victims of a 0-4 thumping against the likes of Atalanta on Monday.
Lecce finished the last season relatively far from the relegation scrap but the drop to Serie B might represent a much more realistic scenario this time around.
Inter Milan vs Lecce Prediction
This is the worst possible time for Lecce to face the likes of Inter Milan. The visitors enter this off the back of a horrendous 0-4 loss at the hands of Atalanta.
On the other side, Inter Milan can ill afford a slip-up after dropping two points on the opening day at Genoa.
Moving forward, the Nerazzurri go into this tie on the back of four straight wins over Lecce and a goal difference of 10-1 along the way.
Lecce’s manager Luca Gotti has serious problems with the lakc of defensive meticulousness in his ranks.
Lecce shipped two goals to Huddersfield and three goals to Nice in the defeats in the pre-season.
