Internazionale Milano

vs

Lecce

Preview

Inter

• Cristian Chivu has Inter flying at the top of Serie A with 42 points from 18 matches, after taking over as manager of the Milan club in June 2025.
• The Romanian’s high-tempo, wing-back-heavy 3-5-2 system has given Inter the league’s most lethal attack and a formidable home record of seven wins from nine.
• Inter lead Serie A after winning 4 of their last 5 games, including a 2-0 victory at AC Parma last time out.

Lecce

• Lecce are 16th in Serie A with 17 points from 18 games, winning just twice in 8 away games.
• Eusebio Di Francesco was appointed in June 2025 and is still working on building a coherent identity to his side, but they’ve struggled to avoid relegation in the early stages of the 2025-26 Serie A season.
• However, Lecce are not easy to play against and can be tough to break down when they park the bus and set up in a narrow 4-3-3 system with compact midfield triangles.
• Lecce have scored just six times in eight away league games and average a meagre 0.75 goals per game on the road.

Head-to-Head

Key Players

• Lautaro Martinez, who has 10 goals in 18 Serie A games, is Inter’s talisman up front and has three goals in his last five appearances.
  • 10 goals in 18 Serie A games.
  • Three goals in his last five appearances.
• The visitors’ main goal threat comes from Konan N’Dri, who has scored just two goals in 12 Serie A matches.
  • Two goals in 12 Serie A matches.
• Inter’s wing-backs and central runners have been directly involved in eight goals during Inter’s last five matches.

Betting Insights

• There’s also a vast gulf between the bookmakers’ odds, which make the home side a 1.19 favourite to win the game, while a draw is 8.1.
• Over 2.5 goals at 1.51 looks an excellent bet with Inter averaging 2.67 goals scored and just 0.67 goals conceded per home game in Serie A.
