Our Analysis: Assessing the Form of Both Teams
Inter travel to Monza this weekend for their first league game back after the international break. Monza, managed by former AC Milan legend, Alessandro Nesta, have been slow out of the blocks this term.
The Biancorossi could only muster a goalless draw at Empoli on the opening day of the season. Nesta’s men followed that up by drawing another blank in a 1-0 home defeat to Genoa.
They suffered further heartache in their trip to Fiorentina. After storming into a two-goal lead, Fiorentina halved the deficit before the interval. Monza looked to have held on for all three points but a 96th-minute equaliser from Robin Gosens saw Monza leave with just a point.
It’s been rather more plain sailing for champions Inter, who shrugged off a frustrating 2-2 opening day draw at Genoa with back-to-back victories over Lecce and Atalanta at the San Siro.
This was also underpinned by back-to-back clean sheets, which will have greatly pleased boss, Simone Inzaghi.
Probable Lineups for Monza vs Inter
The probable lineup of Monza in 3-4-2-1:
Turati; Izzo, Carboni, Mari, Pereira, Kyriakopoulos, Pessina, Bondo, Maldini, Caprari, Duric
The probable lineup of Inter in 3-5-2:
Sommer; Pavard, Bastoni, Acerbi, Darmian, Dimarco, Barella, Mkhitaryan, Calhanoglu, Thuram, Martinez
Visitors Inter to win with a shutout
After keeping clean sheets against Lecce and Atalanta, it feels like Inter have already found their defensive rhythm.
It’s no mean feat stopping Atalanta from scoring, since they are one of the most free-flowing sides in Serie A. Given that Monza have mustered just two goals in their opening three league games, we feel it’s better value to back an Inter win and pair it with Both Teams to Score (No).

Thuram to maintain his fine early season form
French powerhouse, Marcus Thuram, scored 13 goals in 35 Serie A matches for Inter last season. He’s already a third of the way to eclipsing last season’s tally with four goals in the opening three games.
Thuram looks full of confidence under Simone Inzaghi and appears to be using his physical attributes to even better effect in leading the line this season.
With Monza’s defence far from the most watertight in Serie A, we’re backing Thuram to poach another goal on Sunday night.

Modest 2-0 victory will suffice for the Nerazzurri
It’s this time of the season when European club competitions begin in earnest. Inter face Manchester City in their opening Champions League group game next Wednesday. With little time to recuperate between the trip to Monza and hosting City, Inter will surely look to get the job done at the Brianteo Stadium with minimal fuss.
With confidence in an Inter clean sheet, we expect the Nerazzurri to find the net twice and keep the Biancorossi at arm’s length for the majority of the contest.
