Inter Milan vs Verona Prediction & Match Preview

Inter Milan will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing 1-1 stalemate at Genoa as they play host to Hellas Verona in the first game of Saturday’s Serie A schedule at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.

Simone Inzaghi’s squad were pretty much toothless in the final third as the absence of two very important first-team regulars affected the team’s display in the last game of 2023 at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris.

I Nerazzurri were without both the league’s top scorer Laztaro Martinez and influential wing-back Federico Dimarco. They should both be fit to return to pitch for the first game in New Year.

Inter Milan are now only two points above Juventus at the top of the Serie A standings and they can ill afford another slip-up here against Verona.

The hosts have seven wins, one draw, and one loss in nine league games on the home patch and they own the best defensive record in the league by some distance with just 8 goals allowed in 18 outings.

Verona, on the other side, boast the division’s joint-second-worst attacking record, having scored just 15 goals so far in the season.

They have failed to register a single shot on target in a disappointing home defeat to Salernitana last weekend.

Marco Baroni’s men picked up just one win in the previous 17 outings across competitions and we are not quite optimistic regarding their success here against the table-toppers.

Latest Meetings

Tradition also favors the hosts heavily in this matchup as Inter Milan won 21 and drew 4 of the last 25 encounters with Verona.

I Nerazzurri celebrated a demolishing 6-0 win when they last visited Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi in May 2023.

Verona scored only one goal in the previous five meetings with Inter Milan.

The Verdict

The gulf in quality between these rivals is huge and we expect Inter Milan to celebrate an easy victory in front of the home fans in the first game of the year.

You can back I Nerazzurri to win by two or more goals difference at the 1.55 odds while we also like the 1.61 odds offered for Inter Milan to have the lead at the half time and win the match at the end.
