Serie A champions Inter<\/a> end their home campaign against a relegated Hellas Verona<\/a> with Sunday afternoon\u2019s dead-rubber clash at San Siro.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It\u2019s party time at Giuseppe Meazza. Only a few days after clinching their 21st Scudetto, Inter<\/a> beat Lazio 2-0 in the Coppa Italia final, securing their first domestic double since 2010. Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez were on the scoresheet as Cristian Chivu equalled a feat last achieved by Jose Mourinho over a decade ago.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Fresh off becoming the first foreign manager to win the Serie A<\/a> title since Mourinho, Chivu is now looking to end his highly successful first season at Inter<\/a> on a high. Optimism is at an all-time high, with the Nerazzurri<\/a> heading into this fixture on a ten-game unbeaten run in all competitions (W7, D3).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

By contrast, Verona are preparing for life in Serie B, desperate to avoid the ignominy of finishing at the foot of the table. Sitting just two points clear of 20th-placed Pisa, Paolo Sammarco\u2019s men must defy the odds to end an underwhelming eight-game winless league streak (D2, L6), bookended by a 1-0 home loss to Como last weekend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It would be a mere consolation for the traveling fans, but even that feels like a tall order, given the visitors\u2019 woeful run of form. Nevertheless, after holding Juventus to a 1-1 draw on their last road trip, the Gialloblu<\/a> will fancy their chances against the best team in the country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Despite already winning the title, Inter<\/a> can make further history down the final stretch. With 27 wins to their name, they\u2019re two short of the club\u2019s second-best tally of 29 Serie A<\/a> victories achieved in the 2023\/24 season. Therefore, they must win both final games if they\u2019re to equal that feat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Virtually unplayable at San Siro, Inter<\/a> have won nine of their last 11 home league outings (D2), with seven of those triumphs coming by multi-goal margins. Another victory is on the cards here. The Nerazzurri<\/a> emerged victorious in November\u2019s reverse fixture, extending their unbeaten streak against Verona in Serie A<\/a> to 29 games (W24, D5).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Furthermore, they have defeated the Gialloblu<\/a> in each of their last eight league meetings on home turf, keeping six clean sheets in that sequence. Shutting Verona out may not be imperative, given that Inter<\/a> have scored on either side of halftime in 12 of their 18 home league matches this term, highlighting their unmatched attacking prowess.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The incentive of avoiding the wooden spoon could be enough to make up for a lack of motivation here, but Verona\u2019s disastrous record against the division\u2019s top teams points toward another underwhelming result. Indeed, Sammarco\u2019s men have picked up just three points against teams starting this round in the top six (D3, L7).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Verona will be keen to find the net, at the very least, and avoid the ignominy of failing to score in 20 top-flight matches for the first time since the 1988\/89 season. They can take confidence from the fact that they\u2019ve scored in three of their last four away league games (W1, D1, L2). Against this backdrop, they\u2019ve netted just one goal in five previous visits to San Siro.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A lack of entertainment has been common in Verona\u2019s Serie A<\/a> fixtures lately, with seven of their last eight league games featuring under 2.5 goals. Given the gulf in class between the sides, Sammarco would likely sign up for another low-scoring clash, as he aims to avoid a catastrophe against the champions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

With Luis Henrique back from injury, Hakan Calhanoglu remains the only high-profile absentee in the Inter<\/a> squad. The Brazilian wingback may even take Denzel Dumfries\u2019 place on the right wing, with Ange-Yoan Bonny expected to dislodge Marcus Thuram in the final third and partner up with Lautaro Martinez.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On the other hand, Verona will be without long-term absentees Suat Serdar and Daniel Mosquera. Armel Bella-Kotchap, Cheikh Niasse, and Daniel Oyegoke are also on the sidelines. Meanwhile, Gift Orban remains on the fringes after the club\u2019s decision to suspend him due to an infamous conflict with a fan last month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Inter vs Hellas Verona<\/a> Prediction<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

It\u2019s impossible to predict anything but a landslide victory for Inter<\/a>. A goal-shy Verona cannot realistically hope to defy their dreadful run in this fixture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
