Serie A Preview: Inter vs. Genoa
Reigning Serie A Champions Inter open up the 2021-22 season at San Siro, but both the Nerazzurri and Genoa have made a lot of changes over the summer.
This will be new coach Simone Inzaghi’s competitive debut on the Inter bench and he must immediately do without Lautaro Martinez, who is suspended, and injured Alexis Sanchez, so Edin Dzeko should start.
Stat fact: Genoa have lost each of their last six Serie A games against Inter, scoring zero goals and conceding 21.
