Inter vs Monza Prediction (22.08.2026)

Inter starts the defense of its title in Serie A, with the first opponent of the "Nerazzurri" in the new season being Monza. The guests have already played one official match, having decisively defeated Avellino in the Coppa Italia. However, the level of the opponent is now incomparably higher, and Inter logically enters as the clear favorite for victory.

The hosts left a good impression in the friendlies before the start of the campaign, as they managed to defeat Juventus and Real Betis in their recent tests. Inter is traditionally quite stable in front of their own fans, but this will still be the first league match of the season, and it is possible that both teams will approach it a bit more cautiously. Although historically their clashes have sometimes offered quite a few goals, this time I do not expect such a high scoring match.

Inter should control the match and have more opportunities to secure the three points, but as it is the start of the season, I expect more probing and fewer risks. Monza is also unlikely to play too openly when visiting the champions.
