Inter Milan makes its Serie A season debut against Torino on Monday.
The pregame narrative: Inter Milan had a very successful campaign across all competitions in 2024-25, but looks to reclaim the Serie A title after finishing second in Italy. The side will host Torino as a sizeable favourite.

Parlay: Inter Milan to win | Both teams to score – no | Martinez to score (+290)
Inter Milan to win (-225): Inter was one of the best teams in Europe last season. It finished as the runner-up in the Champions League and second in Serie A.
Despite finishing one point behind Napoli for the title, it was Inter with the best goal differential in the league (+44).
I don’t feel crazy saying Inter is the best team in Italy, and the club has a nice matchup to open the season.
Torino finished in the bottom half of Serie A last season. The side had a -6 goal differential and had fewer than half the goals that Inter had (39 for Torino, 79 for Inter).
Additionally, the club finished last season losing four of its last five matches and drawing the other.
One of the losses was to Inter, 2-0.

Serie A SGP legs
Both teams to score – no (-121): I truly believe Torino will have a tough time scoring.
- As mentioned, the club had just 39 goals for in 38 matches played last season.
- During that five-match winless streak at the end, Torino scored just one goal.
- It finished with the third-fewest xG among teams that weren’t relegated (35.2).
The side brought in just three players worth more than $1 million in the transfer window, and none were notable enough to make me think this year will be much different.
And that means Inter has every reason to dominate this match from start to finish.
Martinez to score (+110): Out of all the candidates to bag a goal in Inter’s opening match, I like Martinez’s chances the best.
- The Argentine attacker was a crucial part of Inter’s UCL run, scoring eight goals in 10 starts.
- He only scored 14 times in Serie A but finished fourth in Italy with 13.5 xG.
- For reference, teammate Marcus Thuram had more goals (14) but only 10.1 xG.
If anything, Martinez had an unlucky season, and he should be expected to get back to scoring 20+ goals like he did for Inter in the three seasons prior.
