Inter Milan return to action in pre-season when they lock horns with Pisa in a friendly at the Arena Garibaldi on Friday (August 2). Filippo Inzaghi’s Pisa are coming off a 2-1 loss to Ascoli, while the Nerazzurri won 3-0 over Las Palmas.
Having kicked off their pre-season with aa 2-2 draw with US Catanzaro, Pisa slumped to a loss at Ascoli. Filippo Inzaghi's men came into the pre-season off the back of a disappointing 2023-24 campaign, finishing 13th in Serie B with 46 points.
Pisa will look to wrap up their warm-up games with a win against the reigning Italian champions, who cruised to a 3-0 victory over Las Palmas at the Stadio Dino Manuzzi on Saturday.
A first-half brace from Mehdi Taremi put the Italian champions in a commanding position before Federico Dimarco’s long-range strike put the icing on the cake in the 85th minute.
Inter have consecutive friendlies against Al Ittihad and Chelsea next before taking on Genoa in their Serie A curtain-raiser.
