Inter vs Monza Preview

Inter begin their title defence at the Meazza in fine fettle, unbeaten across four pre-season outings with three wins and a solitary draw. Cristian Chivu's side have been bolstered by seven summer arrivals, including John Stones, who marked his debut with a goal against Real Betis. Lautaro Martinez is back in training ahead of schedule, though Marcus Thuram's involvement remains uncertain after his World Cup commitments with France.

Monza arrive in Milan without captain Matteo Pessina, who faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines after a serious knee injury. Ivan Juric's men have historically proven awkward opponents for Inter, taking points off the Nerazzurri in previous campaigns. That resilience will need to surface again here, though the Brianzoli face a daunting task against a side that conceded just once across their entire pre-season programme.

Inter's home record last season tells the story: an average of 2.63 goals scored and a mere 0.84 conceded per match at the Meazza. Backing the hosts at 1.22 reflects that dominance. Cristian Chivu's squad have been reinforced by seven summer arrivals, including John Stones, who marked his debut with a goal against Real Betis. A home win feels the natural starting point.

Monza will be without captain Matteo Pessina, sidelined by a serious knee injury, which strips Ivan Juric's side of their most influential figure. Inter's defensive solidity in pre-season, conceding just once across four fixtures, makes 1.57 an appealing angle. The visitors historically cause Inter problems, yet personnel losses and a lack of comparable squad depth tilt this fixture heavily.

The over 2.5 goals line at 1.61 also warrants attention. Lautaro Martinez is back in training ahead of schedule, and Francesco Pio Esposito is expected to partner him in attack. With Inter's prolific home scoring rate and Monza's defensive vulnerability without Pessina's leadership, goals look likely. The combination of a home win and goals underscores where the value sits in this opening-day fixture.
