- Inter have won 3 and drawn 2 of their last 5 matches (2 Friendly Club Matches 2026).

- Inter have won 4 and drawn 1 of the last 5 meetings, winning 7-5 away a year ago.
Inter still have more than enough to put Monza away
It would take a huge upset for Serie A minnows Monza to take the spoils in Saturday's encounter at the Giuseppe Meazza where Inter are a heavy 1.22 favourites to defeat them. The Biancorossi are 5.5 to win or even draw with the Nerazzurri, who are at 1.22 to avoid a home blunder.
Monza's results and performances have been patchy so far in Serie A 2026-2027, so we will probably swerve that market and look for a safer bet in the goal markets. Both teams to score - No at 1.57 looks the better bet here as the hosts control the ball much more than their opponents and Monza will be a bit tougher to break down on the road.
Cristian Chivu has been in charge of Inter since 9 June, 2025, and he has kept the 3-5-2 in place while encouraging his wing-backs to play further forward. They ground out a 1-1 draw with rivals AC Milan before claiming an impressive 2-1 away win over Juventus in two strong outings in the Friendly Club Matches 2026.
Chivu’s Inter are a patient and then powerful force
Federico Dimarco has been their most reliable goal-scorer with three of Inter's eight goals in the last 5 matches, so he has made the wing-back position very threatening indeed.
Monza, meanwhile, were 3-3 drawn by Serie B's Padova last weekend in what was a cagey shootout kind of a game before showing the right reaction with a 3-0 win over Avellino in the Coppa Italia 2026/2027 on Tuesday. Ivan Juric has been in charge of the club since 1 July 2026 and has immediately set up his back three in a way that keeps them compact and awkward to break down.
The clash of styles here should see Inter have much more of the ball with Monza hunting transitions and likely to be more effective in the half-spaces.
Inter are unbeaten in 10 matches across all competitions, winning 6 and drawing 4, which is a proper title-chasing rhythm.
Monza's 5-2-3 record in the last 10 across all comps suggests this will be competitive, but the away side are a little shaky. And while they have lost one of their four away games in the current competitions, they have failed to win either of their previous two on the road against Inter so the Nerazzurri hold the psychological edge.
Inter average 1.50 goals per game at home and concede just 0.50 in all current competitions, while Monza have conceded only three goals in four away fixtures in all competitions this season, so they should travel with steel.
So there is the feel of a close first half before Inter's quality and depth start to tell and we are taking a controlled home victory as the most likely outcome of this clash.
