Inter Milan vs Al-Ittihad Prediction and Betting Tips | August 7th 2024

Inter Milan ramp up their pre-season fixtures as they take on Al-Ittihad in a friendly at the Stadio Brianteo on Wednesday. With the start of the 2024-25 Saudi Arabian campaign on the horizon, Laurent Blanc’s men will be looking to snap their five-game losing streak and secure a morale-boosting result.

Yann Bisseck spared Inter Milan’s blushes at the weekend as he netted a 96th-minute equalizer to hand the Italian champions a 1-1 draw with Serie B side Pisa at Arena Garibaldi.

Before that, Simone Inzaghi’s side picked up three wins in their opening three warm-up games, seeing off Lugano, Pergolettese and Las Palmas respectively.

Inter Milan will follow Wednesday’s game with a mouth-watering clash against Chelsea on August 11, six days before kicking off their Serie A title defense against Genoa at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium.

Al-Ittihad, on the other hand, were left red-faced once again as they suffered a 4-1 hammering at the hands of Spanish outfit Real Betis last Saturday. Blanc’s men have now lost each of their four friendly matches so far, conceding 10 goals and scoring just twice.

With their 2024-24 Saudi Professional League opener against Al-Kholood on the horizon, Al-Ittihad will head into Wednesday’s clash looking to close out their pre-season on a positive note.
