Inter will travel to Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris for the Serie A clash with Sampdoria. The champions of Italy are 2 for 2 to start their campaign and will look to keep the streak alive.
Sampdoria coming off a draw against Sassuolo in their previous Serie A fixture. It was a below-par performance from Roberto D’Aversa’s men.
Inter won their previous Serie A fixture as they triumphed 3-1 over Verona. They fought back from a goal down with Lautaro Martinez getting the equalizer before a late brace from Joaquin Correa sealed the win.
Simone Inzaghi has coped well with the departures of Lukaku and Hakimi during the summer transfer window and has stabilized the side with the likes of Dzeko, Hakan, Correa, and Dumfries.
It has been a solid start to their title defense with only Lazio above them on the table due to goal difference.
