Inter vs Monza Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 19th August 2023

After sealing a coveted top four spot in the previous campaign, Inter start again from zero this coming Saturday. The hosts face Monza at Giuseppe Meazza for their first match of the new Serie A season.

Inter managed to end up number three on 72 points last season. As mentioned, they face Monza, who came in as number 11 on 52 points last season.

Inter scored 2.4 goals on average in their past ten matches, hitting the target 24 times. They conceded ten goals, an average of one and pulled off four clean sheets.

Monza scored 16 goals, conceded 13 and managed three clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

The last time these two teams squared up, Monza ran out 0-1 winners which they surely won't mind doing again at Giuseppe Meazza.

Inter vs Monza Prediction

Inter Form

Inter are looking to bounce back from a recent setback and get back to winning ways. In their last three matches, they first took out Atalanta by 3-2, before beating Torino by 0-1. The winning streak came to an end against Manchester City, who ran out 1-0 winners. Inter claimed a middle-of-the-road three wins in their previous six matches on home soil in the Serie A. They also drew zero and lost three, as they scored ten and conceded eight goals.

The big goal of the season for Inter is naturally winning the title, and a place inside the top two at least should be possible in the upcoming Serie A season.

Monza Form

Monza endured a tough spell in their last three matches, from which they have nothing to show. They were beaten 0-1 by Lecce, before Atalanta ran out 5-2 winners. A third defeat on the trot followed against Reggiana, who came out 1-2 winners. Monza won half their previous six away matches in the Serie A, as well as seeing two draws and suffering one defeat. They scored ten goals whilst conceding nine.

In a season where everything runs absolutely smoothly Monza might be able to surprise. However, a finish inside the top half of the Serie A looks the most realistic scenario.
