Serie A tickets

👉 Here is INTER vs GENOA preview for the Serie A Week 1 game on Saturday 21 August 2021 at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium in Milan, Italy at 18:30.

This is a big challenge for new Inter Coach Simone Inzaghi to defend the Scudetto.  It’s a duel because Juventus will look to regain their dominion. Inter ended Juve’s dominance winning the Serie A in eleven years.  The pressure for Inzaghi is high because arguably the main Inter player Romelu Lukaku left the team to join Chelsea an also Achraf Hakimi joined PSG.   The objective for Inzaghi is for the moment to start the Serie A 2021-22 Season with a home victory at the Meazza. Question is whether Inzaghi will be at the level of former Inter Coach Antonio Conte.

The good news for Inter is that they managed to sign former AS Roma forward Edin Dzeko.  Lukaku’s absence is now to be filled.  Dzeko having a tough task to lead the team.  Dzeko has scored  85 goals in Serie A since his arrival in Italy. Dzeko have been involved in eight league goals against Genoa, his best record versus any Italian club. Dzeko will make his 200th Serie A appearance.

Genoa Coach Davide Ballardini is confident with his team to face Inter. Last year, Genoa achieved the 11th place in the standings. A motivation for Genoa is their preparation, Genoa dominated the Austrians of Wacker Innsbruck winning 4-1. Challenge now also for new Inter player Dutchman Dumfries (PSV), one of the revelations of the last Euro.  Genoa signed Trabzonspor scorer Caleb Ekuban and we have 90 minutes to play to see the performance of new players..

Stats in favor of Inter having 15 wins, 3 draws, and only 1 defeat in 19 games against Genoa at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.  Inter have dominated Genoa in the last three years, winning each of the last six games by at least two goals difference.  Genoa did not score a single goal in the last six games with Inter.
