---------------------------------
AC Monza
Monza, coached by Paolo Bianco, is concluding their pre-season preparations for the 2025-26 Serie B season after relegation from Serie A, where they finished 19th with just three wins in 2024-25. Their pre-season record is strong, with four wins in five friendlies, including 2-0 victories over Albinoleffe and Alcione, but a 2-1 loss to Atalanta on August 5, 2025, averaging 2.2 goals scored and 0.6 goals conceded. Key players include Matteo Pessina, Gianluca Caprari, and Pablo Marí, with a probable 4-4-2 lineup: Di Gregorio; Izzo, Marí, Caldirola, Birindelli; Pessina, Colpani, Gagliardini, Kyriakopoulos; Caprari, Dany Mota. Monza’s strengths are their defensive organization and home support at U-Power Stadium (sold out, 18,568 capacity), but their lack of clinical finishing against top-tier sides (e.g., Atalanta) is a concern. They aim to test themselves against Inter before their Coppa Italia match against Frosinone on August 17.
Inter Milan
Inter Milan, led by Christian Chivu, is gearing up for the 2025-26 Serie A season after finishing as runners-up in 2024-25 and losing the Champions League final to PSG. Their pre-season includes a 7-2 win over their U23 side and a 2-1 victory against AS Monaco on August 8, 2025, averaging 4.5 goals scored and 1.5 goals conceded in two friendlies. Key players include Lautaro Martínez, Nicolò Barella, and Ange-Yoan Bonny, with a probable 3-5-2 lineup: Sommer; Bastoni, Acerbi, Pavard; Dimarco, Barella, Calhanoglu, Frattesi, Darmian; Martínez, Thuram. Inter’s strengths are their attacking cohesion and midfield dynamism, but injuries to Piotr Zieliński (calf), Yann Bisseck, and doubts over Hakan Çalhanoğlu (ankle) are concerns. They aim to maintain momentum before facing Olympiacos on August 16 and their Serie A opener against Torino.
Head-to-Head
Monza and Inter have met 14 times across all competitions, with Inter winning 9, Monza 2, and 3 draws. Their last meeting was a 3-2 Inter win in Serie A on March 8, 2025, as shown in the sports card above (Monza: W1 D2 L3, -6 goal differential in Serie A all-time). Recent friendlies include a 1-0 Inter win in 2020. Matches average 2.9 goals, with 50% over 2.5 goals and 67% both teams scoring (BTTS). Monza’s two wins against Inter were both away, and they’ve never beaten Inter at home.
Predicted Score: Monza 1-2 Inter Milan
This friendly on August 12, 2025, at U-Power Stadium, Monza, at 9:00 PM CEST (3:00 PM EDT), is a sell-out, broadcast exclusively on Sportitalia and streamed on Sofascore. Monza’s Pessina and Caprari face Inter’s Martínez and Thuram, with Monza’s defensive resilience tested by Inter’s attacking quality. Inter are favorites (+120 odds) over Monza (+260), with a draw at +220. Trends (Monza: 60% over 2.5 goals; Inter: 100%) and H2H suggest goals, with betting tips favoring over 2.5 goals (-150 odds) and BTTS (-167). Cards may be issued in the 22°C evening if Monza’s physicality rises, refereed by an unconfirmed official. Inter’s depth and form should prevail, but Monza’s home crowd and pre-season scoring keep it competitive. Inter is likely to score through Martínez, with Caprari possibly netting for Monza. Inter’s superior quality and pre-season momentum should secure a narrow win, aligning with their H2H dominance and predicted outcomes.
