Defending Champions Inter Back in Action
Inter Milan, who won the Serie A title by 19 points in 2023-24, kick off the 2024-25 season on Saturday at Genoa. The Nerazzurri have kept all of their key players from last season’s Scudetto but opponents Genoa are having trouble hanging onto theirs.
While Inter have drawn their last two matches on the road at Genoa, we’re thinking Inter will kick off the season with three points. Our score prediction is a 2-0 Inter Milan victory at +650 Genoa vs Inter Milan Serie A odds.

Genoa vs Inter Milan Betting Preview
Gudmundsson Close to Departing Genoa?
Genoa had a surprising return to Serie A in 2023-24, as they finished in 11th place. Icelandic forward Albert Gudmundsson found the net 14 times, but he’s been linked to plenty of other clubs in the transfer market.
Gudmundsson didn’t play in Genoa’s 1-0 win over Reggiana last Friday in the Coppa Italia due to some minor ailments, but should be able to play here if he’s still with the club. Genoa also offloaded Mateo Retegui to Atalanta recently and will be lacking firepower if Gudmundsson also leaves.
While not a strong contender for European competition, Genoa are capable of grabbing results. They only lost five of their 19 home matches last season and have held Inter to draws in the last two meetings in Genoa.
Lautaro Extends With Inter
Inter Milan are returning all of their key players from the 2023-24 Scudetto-winning side. Simone Inzaghi’s side are favorites to win Serie A once again and they’ve improved in the offseason.
They signed Napoli midfielder Piotr Zielinski on a free transfer, picked up Genoa keeper Josep Martinez and Porto striker Mehdi Taremi. Still, Lautaro Martinez’s contract extension is the best news of the Summer.
Martinez, who ranked first in goals in the 2023-24 Italy Serie A stats, with 24, extended his contract until 2029. He’s the main man up top, and the supporting cast around him, with guys like Marcus Thuram, Hakan Calhanoglu, Nicolo Barella, and Alessandro Bastoni, is excellent. Expect Inter to challenge on all fronts in 2024-25.

Genoa vs Inter Milan Final Score Prediction
Inter Milan kept a Serie A-leading 21 clean sheets in 2023-24 and are quite difficult to score on. With Retegui out the door and Genoa relying heavily on Gudmundsson, we think Inter’s defensive gameplan could be successful.
The Nerazzurri could grab a clean sheet in their first match of the season, and we wouldn’t bet against them to get on the scoresheet. After all, they’ve scored at least twice in eight of their last 10 games against Genoa. So, as our Serie A pick, we’re taking a 2-0 Inter victory as +650 Genoa vs Inter Milan Serie A odds.
