Inter Milan lost a number of important players after winning the Serie A title last season. Starting with Antonio Conte who chose to leave, then Achraf Hakimi and Romelu Lukaku followed suit.

However, Inter did not stand still. The Nerazzurri brought in a number of new players as replacements. Edin Dzeko, Hakan Calhanoglu and Denzel Dumfries are Inter’s new ammunition line. In addition, the leadership position is now occupied by Simone Inzaghi.

For the first week against Genoa, Inter Milan are predicted to reap three points. Inter are backed up by some interesting statistics.

Firstly, Inter swept through their last six Serie A matches against Genoa with a win. The aggregate is 21-0 for the Nerazzurri.

In addition, Genoa have also failed to score in their last six matches against Inter in Serie A. That is Genoa’s worst record against a top team. The last time Genoa scored against Inter was in February 2018 through Goran Pandev.

Il Biscione also has a good record in the Serie A opener at home. From the opening 17 matches at the Giuseppe Meazza, Inter have won 14 and drawn three. The last time Inter lost was in 1987 against Pescara (0-2).

In the match later, Inter will unable play Lautaro Martinez who has accumulated cards. The role of the striker is predicted to be carried out by the new player, Edin Dzeko. Meanwhile, Nicolo Barella, Marcelo Borzovic, and Hakan Calhanoglu are predicted to appear from the start.
