Prediction: 2-1
Monza
After failing to win Scudetto last term, Inter will look to make a flying start to their Serie A campaign when they take on Monza on Saturday evening. The Nerazzurri have big ambitions for the upcoming season and new signings Juan Cuadrado, Marcus Thuram, Yann Sommer, Kristjan Asslani, and Marko Arnautovic are surely capable of helping the team bring glory days back to “Meazza”. As for the season opener, defender Francesco Acerbi misses out with a muscle injury.
The Biancorossi, on the other hand, did well to beat Inter in their last meeting in Milano and they surely want the history to repeat itself. However, home win should be considered this time out as Inter chiefs did well to reinforce the squad in the summer transfer window. To make things even worse for the visiting side, defender Armando Izzo is banned for the match.
Highlighted Player (Hakan Calhanoglu):
Hakan Calhanoglu is another one in the long line of Turkish footballers who were born in Germany, so it is hardly surprising he came to prominence thanks to his performances in Bundesliga. The attacking midfielder with great vision and very good goalscoring record started his professional career at Karlsruher, scoring impressive 17 goals in 50 league outings to earn a move to Bundesliga side Hamburg.
The spell at Imtech Arena was merely a stepping stone for bigger things as 11 goals in his debut top flight campaign persuaded Bayer Leverkusen to splash nearly €15 million on his services. That proved a very good investment as Calhanoglu continued the rich vein of form, and it is now a matter of time before he joins one of European powerhouses.
The midfield maestro had a bright start to his career in the Turkey national team, scoring 5 goals in first 16 caps, and chances are he will become a leader for Milli Takim in the foreseeable future.
