Serie A: Inter Milan vs Lecce Offshore Odds, Preview, and Picks (Aug 24)

The reigning champions in Italy take to the field for the second time this season on Saturday, as Inter Milan go in search of their first victory of the new season. They will welcome Lecce to the San Siro this weekend, with the visitors also chasing a first win of the campaign.

Before Betting On Inter Milan vs Lecce

Recent history shows that successfully defending the Serie A title is an extremely difficult challenge, but Inter Milan are front-runners in the betting to retain their Italian crown in 2024-25. However, they will need to bounce back to form after playing out a 2-2 draw in their opening match of the season against Genoa. Marcus Thuram netted both goals in their tie on the road last weekend.

Lecce ultimately secured their Serie A status with a couple of rounds remaining last term, but they will face another challenge to stay in the top-flight this term. The Italian giants were disappointing on the road last season, winning just twice, and scoring a mediocre 15 goals.

No team in Serie A history have recorded more wins against Lecce than Inter Milan. The reigning champions have recorded 28 wins throughout history, and they have lost on just four occasions. In fact, since the start of the 2022-23 season, Inter have recorded four straight wins against Lecce, scoring ten goals and conceding just once.

At the San Siro, Inter have won 17 of their last 18 against Lecce, with their only defeat being suffered in January 2000. Across that period, Inter have kept 12 clean sheets, and have conceded just six goals. However, their form in the competition should be acknowledged, as they have played out three consecutive draws across the previous two seasons.
