Serie A: Verona x Inter, Match Preview, Team News, Odds and Predictions(26/05/2024)

Verona saw another stormy season. But with four points above the relegation zone, Marco Baroni's club enters the last round of Serie A with most of the season spent there or near it. In the final three games, Verona prevailed by two. They defeated Salernitana 2-1 away the night before. Unsurprisingly, the visitors scored three points, which kept them safe from relegation in the encounter since the home team only had nine shots on goal to Verona's seventeen.

It was one of Inter Milan's finest seasons in history, at least in Serie A. With one game left in the campaign, Simone Inzaghi's side leads AC Milan, their main competitor, by 19 points. Inter has only lost one of their previous nine games, but their season is almost over. They tied Lazio 1-1 at home in the last encounter. Based on the statistics, The home team was superior, but ultimately, the teams shared the points. 

Verona x Inter Team News

Juan Manuel Cruz, a center forward, will miss Verona's season finale because of an unidentified injury. Marco Baroni is required to set up the ideal lineup and assess the strength of his squad against Inter.

A fully fit team is ready for Simone Izaghi to take on Verona. We might anticipate some lineup changes at Inter now that the Serie A championship is officially decided and Lautaro Martinez has won the goalscorer award.

Head To Head And Previous Matches

Verona avoided relegation this season due to a robust Seria A finish that kept the hosts safe before the final round. An incredible run began on April 20, and the local club won three of their five games. They helped sail the ship safely and thrilled Verona supporters, who will see their heroes play Serie A football the following season.

Even though Marco Baroni's club lost badly against Torino in the last game at Marc'Antonio Bentegodi Stadium (1-2), they made a tremendous comeback at demoted Salernitana. With a tough match against Champions Inter, Verona sorely needed this victory to prevent last-minute drama.

Verona grabbed the lead with a goal in the 22nd minute of play against Salernitana, and all survival concerns were allayed right before the interval. Although Salernitana closed the margin with a goal in the 90th minute, a second-half comeback proved unachievable in front of their supporters.

Even though Inter dominates Verona at Marc'Antonio Bentegodi Stadium, Verona wants to shock everyone and replicate the 1992 effort that resulted in their lone victory against Inter (1-0).

Inter Inter controlled the Seria A by outperforming the opposition throughout. But even though they were the best team in the league, Simone Inzaghi's team lost heartbreakingly to Bologna (2-1) in the Coppa d'Italia round of 16. In addition, despite winning the first leg, the new Seria A winners were unable to make an impression on the European scene as they were eliminated by Atletico Madrid in the Winners League last 16.

Ultimately, Inter's championship stability won even though Juventus and Milan were strong rivals in the Serie A title contest. Moreover, the Scudetto issue was already resolved before the league reached its final stages. The Serie A level declined, with clubs like Milan, Juventus, Napoli, Roma, and Lazio failing the whole season.

The relegation of Sassuolo prevented Simone Inzaghi's club from matching the record of Milan, Juventus, and Perugia of winning the Scudetto unblemished; surprising enough, not one of the teams listed above defeated Inter in the Serie A.

With 24 goals and two assists, Lautaro Martinez played a significant role in Serie A, topping the goalscoring statistics. But after a few dismal performances in which he scored only once in the previous seven games, the Argentinean ace will be anxious to score against Verona.

Inter may approach their Serie A point record of 97. Simone Izaghi's club will finish with 96 points if they defeat Verona, one less than Roberto Mancini's outstanding 97-point finish in 2007 that won the Scudetto.

Our Predictions

Inter to win Halftime @ 2.03 on Sky247.ng

We expect a relaxed environment in the hosts' camp because Verona secured safety before Inter in the deciding match at Marc'Antonio Bentegodi. Even though Inter also won the championship some time ago, the caliber of the Nerrazzuri will be adequate to help the team earn its 30th victory of the year.

Both teams to score @ 1.65 on Sky247.ng 

Late in the season, Verona discovered its offensive form, as shown by their 10 goals in their final eleven games. Conversely, 24 out of the last 25 games in all competitions saw Inter Milan score at least one goal. In this previous Serie A round, both sides should score at least one goal.
