Hellas Verona vs Inter Milan

Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi is the venue as Hellas Verona and Inter Milan go head-to-head in an exciting Serie A fixture.

A 3-2 home defeat to Sassuolo on the opening weekend has extended Hellas’ winless Serie A streak to ten straight matches (D4, L6). After starting his new adventure with a whimper rather than a bang, new manager Eusebio Di Francesco will be looking to make history here and lead Verona to their first top-flight victory over Inter since 1992 (D4, L17)! Regardless of the outcome, ‘I Gialloblu’ will be confident of at least finding the back of the net, having scored at least once in each of their last five home Serie A outings. Worryingly, though, you have to go back to mid-October 2020 to find Verona’s last home clean sheet in Serie A, with ‘I Mastini’ conceding at least once in 17 consecutive such fixtures since a goalless home draw with Genoa.

On the other hand, Simone Inzaghi marked his competitive managerial debut at Inter with an overwhelming 4-0 home triumph over Genoa, which was their third opening day victory for the third season in a row. Another success here would see ‘I Nerazzurri’ win their opening two Serie A matches for three seasons running for the first time since 1955/56. Inter boasted the joint-best defensive record in Serie A last season, conceding just 0.89 goals per league trip under Antonio Conte in 2020/21. What’s more, the reigning champions suffered just two Serie A losses away from last term (W11, D6), while they’ve avoided defeat in all of their previous 12 top-flight trips to Hellas (W8, D4). We could be in for a high-scoring fixture here, considering each of their last four away league H2Hs has seen over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring.
