Inter Milan is looking for a win in this match against US Lecce, following their winless opener in the 2024-25 season. Heading into this match, these two teams are both winless during their openers, which make them eager for a win here. Inter had a 2-2 draw against Genoa during their opener in the Serie A, which is not a good start for them. Due to this, Inter are now eager to win in this match, to keep their momentum on a positive side. On the other hand, Lecce suffered a devastating 4-0 defeat against Atalanta during their opener. This puts Lecce without a single point in their Serie A campaign, and are hoping to finally earn a point here. The meeting between these two teams is on August 25, 2024, at 2:45 AM (GMT+8).
Inter Milan
Inter’s Marcus Thuram scored his first Serie A goal last week, but the team still failed to secure maximum points against Genoa. The French forward’s ‘offside’ goal on 82 minutes gave Genoa a 2-1 lead. However, Yann Bisseck erred, allowing Junior Messias to score from the penalty spot. Inter have now drawn three consecutive matches, and coach Simone Inzaghi is expected to demand normal service on Saturday. Over the past 11 years, Genoa has never lost their opening home fixture, recording nine wins. Inter’s record against Lecce at San Siro is also impressive, with 17 wins from 18 Serie A contests.
Piotr Zielinski, who regained his full Inter debut, could play in Saturday’s game. Stefan de Vrij and Tajon Buchanan are still unavailable. Mehdi Taremi made his league debut as a substitute. Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez will start.
US Lecce
Lecce, a team with only one win in Serie A, are now seeking their first league goal of the new season. They have failed to score in four matches between the end of last term and the start of this season, their worst drought for over a year. They have also failed to win any of the last six matches. Lecce’s previous success in Coppa Italia was a late Nikola Krstovic strike, but they were swept aside by Atalanta BC on the opening matchday. Ex-Spezia boss Gotti has been hit by a tough start to the 2024-25 fixture list, leaving fans concerned about the challenge ahead.
Lecce expects a full squad for the Lombardy trip, with Mohamed Kaba recovering from a knee injury. Newcomers Kialonda Gaspar, Balthazar Pierret, and Tete Morente could retain positions, while Lassana Coulibaly and Lameck Banda are vying for promotion.
