• The Nerazzurri have won two of their opening matches of the new season and are among just three teams yet to drop points

Italian giants Inter Milan have been backed to win the Serie A title this summer.

Inter missed out on the crown last season after they finished second with 84 points, just two behind rivals AC Milan who secured the championship.

However, according to Italian news outlet FCInterNews citing CIES Football Observatory, Inter are in line to reclaim the title this season.

Based on CIES’s simulation, the Nerazzurri are the team best placed to cart home the Scudetto this term.

Meanwhile, Inter continued their fine start to the 2022/23 season with a 3-0 huge win over Spezia on Saturday, August 20.

Lautaro Martinez, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, and Joaquin Correa were all on target as Simone Inzaghi's men downed Spezia at San Siro.

The Nerazzurri kicked off the new season with a 2-1 win away at Lecce, and are now among just three teams in the Italian top-flight yet to drop points.

However, their biggest test thus far on their title credentials will be on Friday, August 26, when they battle Lazio at Stadio Olimpico.
