Inter Milan vs. Genoa: Serie A Game Preview

 
Inter Milan begins their Serie A title defense when they host Genoa on Saturday. Let’s take a closer look at where the value is at in this matchup. Inter Milan won their first Serie A title in just over a decade but their manager Antonio Conte left Inter, Suning was forced into selling a stake in the club to Oaktree and player sales followed, most notably Romelu Lukaku to Chelsea and possibly Lautaro Martínez to Tottenham Hotspur.

This team has a lot of question marks and it will be interesting to see how new manager Simone Inzaghi fares. Will he be up to the task and can start the new season strong against a Genoa, a team coming off an 11th place finish last year, with three losses in their last four Serie A games last season.
