🇮🇹 Here is Hellas Verona vs Inter preview for the Serie A Week 2 on Friday 27 August 2021 at the Marc’Antonio Bentegodi Stadium in Verona, Italy at 20:45.

Hellas Verona will have to fully concentrate to challenge Italy’s Champions Inter.  Hellas lost last week at the Bentegodi against Sassuolo (Hellas Verona 2 – 3 Sassuolo) while Inter crushed Genoa (Inter 4  – 0 Genoa.)  An advantage for Verona’s attack having midfielder Mattias Zaccagni among the top scorers sharing the spot with Bologna defender Lorenzo De Silvestri, Cagliari João Pedro, and AS Roma Jordan Veretout with 2 goals each.

Stats head to head.  There have been 60 previous meetings in Serie A between these two teams:  Inter with 35 wins, 21 draws and Hellas Verona with 4 wins.   The last time Hellas Verona defeat Inter was back in February 1992 with a 1-0 home win thanks to Ezio Rossi’s goal.  The 4 games won by Verona were at the Bentegodi.  Can they do it now? Even a draw at this point will be a plus for Verona.

Inter are unbeaten in the three-point era of Serie A (since 1994/95), Verona are the one Inter have faced most often 20 with 16 wins and drawing four.

The only match played in August between the two teams dates back to 1999, when the Nerazzurri won 3-0 against Hellas Verona while coached by Cesare Prandelli.

Motivation is high for Inter with Coach Simone Inzaghi determined to defend the title. A victory will be a mega boost for Inter as they are leading the Serie A Table having a +4 goal advantage.

Simply put, Inter favorites to win this game, Inter winning three consecutive opening Serie A with 4+ goals scored. Inter’s target is to win the opening two league games in three consecutive seasons for the first time since 1955/56.
