Command Analysis
Genoa
ItalyCurrent form
Genoa returned to Serie A last season with the goal of securing a long-term place in the elite. The Griffins seriously strengthened themselves for this purpose, and as time has shown, almost all transfers worked perfectly - some players have already been sold for solid money, several players are waiting their turn to leave. Alberto Gilardino's team retained their place in the elite without any particular problems, finishing in 11th place in the table.
In the summer, the Griffins lost several important players - the main goalkeeper Josep Martinez moved to Inter, the main striking force in the person of Mateo Retegui was sold to Atalanta. Next in line is the sale of Albert Gudmundsson - there is demand for him from several Italian giants. A replacement for Martinez was found in the person of Pierluigi Gollini, Alessandro Zanoli came on loan from Napoli.
Genoa" target="_blank">http://genoacfc.it/">Genoa have already played one official match this season – against Reggiana in the Italian Cup. Despite the fact that the squad was not the most combative, the Genoese had no problems getting a ticket to the next round. Thanks to a goal by Junior Messias, Genoa won 1:0 and advanced.
Disqualifications and injuries
Genoa's only significant loss is Caleb Ekuban, but theoretically he could strengthen the game from the bench.
Interesting trends for betting

Probable line-up : Leali, De Winter, Bani, Voljakko - Zanoli, Thorsby, Badelj, Malinowski - Vitinha, Messias.
Inter
ItalyCurrent form
Last season, Inter had a very decent start, thanks to which they managed to quickly pull away. Only in the first round, Juventus put pressure on the Nerazzurri for a short time, but the Old Lady did not last long and closer to the winter break it was already obvious that winning the Scudetto was only a matter of time. Inter secured the title ahead of schedule, and did it beautifully, in the Milan derby.
In the summer, Inter strengthened some positions – in particular, goalkeeper Josep Martinez was acquired from Genoa, who should compete with Yann Sommer. Mehdi Taremi moved from Porto as a free agent, and Piotr Zielinski moved from Napoli on the same principle. So far, these are all the incoming transfers for Inter, but several deals are likely to take place before the window closes.
Inter" target="_blank">https://www.inter.it/">Inter prepared for the season through friendly matches, of which they played a large number. Of the recent ones, it is worth highlighting the draw against Pisa, where Simone Inzaghi's team drew 1:1 with Filippo Inzaghi's team, and the 0:2 defeat to Al-Ittihad stands out. In the last friendly match, Inter drew 1:1 with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Disqualifications and injuries
Piotr Zielinski and Marko Arnautovic have minor injuries and are both out of action today. Stefan De Vrij and Tejon Buchanan are also currently in the infirmary.

1.45Tip and bets
Inter are undoubtedly the favourites – the visitors have a huge advantage in terms of player selection, Genoa have lost several key players and the Griffins will need time to rebuild. The Nerazzurri clearly intend to defend their title and the start of the season is especially important in this light, it makes sense to count on a confident victory for the favourite, who is objectively stronger today.
We think that the hosts have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1) on Inter . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.95
Bet on total
Inter will undoubtedly come for a win and will certainly put serious pressure on the opponent's goal from the very first minutes. Genoa is not particularly reliable in defense, the Griffins are far from their peak form, and it will be almost impossible to keep a clean sheet. At home, the Genoese are quite capable of playing boldly and responding with their own ball, there are high-level players up front, and Inter has not been particularly reliable in defense in friendly matches.
Bet - both teams to score. This outcome is offered with odds of 1.97
Combined rate
It is probably very important for Inter to start the season with a win, a successful start last season largely predetermined the team's fate in the championship race. In class, the "neradurri" have a serious advantage and they will certainly take their three points, but at the same time, beating the "griffins" in Genoa without scoring will be almost unrealistic, on their home field, Genoa scores regularly.
The bet is Inter win and both teams will score. This bet is offered for 3.50
