There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Inter's last 7 games (Serie A). Inter have won 8 of their last 9 matches (Serie A). Inter have scored at least 3 goals in their last 3 matches (Serie A). Lecce have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 3 home matches against Inter in all competitions. Inter are undefeated in 11 of their last 12 matches against Lecce in all competitions.
Newly promoted Lecce will field a 4-3-3 with Gabriel Strefezza and Federico Di Francesco as wingers, while Mert Cetin will partner Alexis Blin in defence. Romelu Lukaku will start up front for the first league game of his second spell with Inter, while Marcelo Brozovic is being assessed due to a minor issue.
Lecce secured promotion to the top flight after being relegated in 2020, but their transfer window hasn't been great so far and they are favourites for an immediate return to Serie B, along with Cremonese. Inter were very active in the early stages of the transfer window with a mix of experience and youth in their signings. All eyes will be on Romelu Lukaku, who is expected to fire the Nerazzurri back to the Scudetto after a disappointing return to Chelsea last summer. The possibly heavy impact of losing Ivan Perisic is a point of concern for the Nerazzurri, but otherwise Simone Inzaghi has a good squad depth in attacking positions. 0:3
