Verona will find it hard to register their first win
The one-time Serie A champions in 1984-85 Verona suffered an opening day defeat at the hands of Sassuolo. It was a five-goal entertainer for the neutral fans as all fixtures of Serie A in matchday one saw two or more goals. However, it wasn’t so entertaining for the home fans. Despite the arrival of coach di Francesco, Verona continued their winless streak in Serie A.
The Yellow and Blues now have not won in ten matches. Yet, any prospects of ending that run are low as the home side has not beaten Inter since 1992! Additionally, Verona have just one win in their last five competitive games and that was against the Serie C team, Catanzaro. In the end, it will be interesting to see what kind of adjustments will Di Francesco make against the champions.
Verona Key Points
Inter Milan looking for a second win a row
The champions Inter Milan started off their new season in the same way they did the last term. A 4-0 win at home to Genao was the largest by any team in the opening week of the Serie A. Notably this was Inter’s third consecutive four goals and plus victory on the Serie A opening day. Regardless, Inter will now look to win the opening two rounds in three consecutive seasons for the first time since 1955!
Inter had the joint-best away defense in Serie A with an average of 0.89 goals conceded per match. Also, the Nerazzurri lost just twice on the road. On the positive side, Inter scored two or more goals in nine consecutive games held in Verona. Furthermore, Inter scored that same amount of goals in 12 of their away league games last season.
Inter Key Points
Verona vs Inter Milan Prediction
Verona are keen not to lose the second game in a row at the start of the new season. Everything is possible in football. If Verona are capable of playing a deep defensive strategy and close the gaps for Inter, they might avoid defeat.
On the other hand, Inter have sold Romelu Lukaku to Chelsea and are also missing Sanchez Eriksen and Gagliardini through injury. Despite their opening day win, Inter are not the force they were last season and could suffer from such absences.
However, we don’t think Inter will miss the chance to add a second victory to their tally. Thus we think an away win is a probable outcome with Vbet offering odds of 1.64. Though a more interesting bet is the win combined with the total goals.
