Inter Milan vs. Torino Prediction: The Debuts of Two New Coaches

Inter Milan’s first match is seen as a testament to the tenure of their new coach, Cristian Chivu. Chivu will be relying on the experienced trio of Lautaro Martinez, Nicolo Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu, as well as the new additions to the defence and midfield.

Inter Milan will kick off their 2025/26 Serie A campaign by hosting Torino at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium on Tuesday, 26 August 2025 at 12:15 IST`

Having seen Napoli win the Scudetto last season, Inter Milan are determined to bounce back and re-establish themselves as a major force in Italian football.

This season, Inter began a new era under coach Cristian Chivu, who replaced Simone Inzaghi. Inzaghi left after a crushing 5-0 defeat to PSG in the Champions League final.

Meanwhile, Torino is aiming to spring a surprise. Antonio Sanabria, Pietro Pellegri, and captain Alessandro Buongiorno are expected to be key players. The club has consistently finished in the middle of the table in recent seasons. They are now managed by new coach Marco Baroni, who saved Hellas Verona from relegation last year.

The match was officiated by referee Federico La Penna, with assistants Pietro Dei Giudici and Alex Cavallina, and Daniele Paterna in charge of the VAR room.

Head to head last five meetings (Serie A):

• Torino 0-2 Inter (April 2025)
• Inter 2-0 Torino (December 2024)
• Torino 0-1 Inter (October 2023)
• Inter 1-0 Torino (June 2023)
• Inter 1-0 Torino (September 2022)

Inter have won and kept a clean sheet in their last five matches against Torino.
