Our prediction for this Serie A match:
After surviving Verona in the last league match, Inter will be looking to cement top position in the standings when they take on Monza in the Serie A round 20. The Nerazzurri are leading the chase for their 20th Scudetto, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to lift the silverware. Juan Cuadrado remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the visiting team.
The Biancorossi, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-2 win over Frosinone. Monza are tough to beat at home, but they will have a big fish to fry against the league leaders. Earlier in the process Inter defeated Monza 2-0 at “Meazza” and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Michele Di Gregorio has joined Gianluca Caprari in the treatment room, with Alessandro Sorrentino likely to step up.
Highlighted Player (Hakan Calhanoglu):
Hakan Calhanoglu is another one in the long line of Turkish footballers who were born in Germany, so it is hardly surprising he came to prominence thanks to his performances in Bundesliga. The attacking midfielder with great vision and very good goalscoring record started his professional career at Karlsruher, scoring impressive 17 goals in 50 league outings to earn a move to Bundesliga side Hamburg.
The spell at Imtech Arena was merely a stepping stone for bigger things as 11 goals in his debut top flight campaign persuaded Bayer Leverkusen to splash nearly €15 million on his services. That proved a very good investment as Calhanoglu continued the rich vein of form, and it is now a matter of time before he joins one of European powerhouses.
The midfield maestro had a bright start to his career in the Turkey national team, scoring 5 goals in first 16 caps, and chances are he will become a leader for Milli Takim in the foreseeable future.
Highlighted Team (Inter):
Internazionale Milano, known as Internazionale, Inter or Inter named Milan, is a football club from Italy, founded on March 9, 1908 by a number of "rebels" who did not like in the regulations of the Milan Cricket and Football Club, now known as AC Milan. The main objection was that no foreign players were allowed. In 1928 the club merged with US Milanese and strongly entered a time when Ambrosiana-Inter survived.
The club, nicknamed the Nerazzurri or the blue / blacks has had many successes. This is how Inter Milan won 18 national titles, seven times the Italian Cup, the UEFA Cup 3x, and 3x times the Champions League, formerly known as the European Cup I.
