Inter Milan look to get their push for the 2025/26 Serie A title race off to a solid start when they host an unpredictable Torino side in their first match of the new campaign. The Inter Milan vs Torino clash will take place at the San Siro Stadium and should be an intense, thrilling affair, as both sides are desperate to get a win to kick off the new season. Here is our Inter Milan vs Torino preview.

After having come up agonizingly short in the Serie A title race and finishing in second place in the 2024/25 Serie A campaign, Italian giants Inter Milan aim to make a stronger push for the title this season. They are heading into this match with four wins in their last five matches, having scored eight goals in the period and only keeping two clean sheets in those matches as well.

Cristian Chivu will be aiming to win over the San Siro faithful's trust by helping his side get a big win to kick off the new campaign. He will, of course, need his side to keep a sturdy defensive line to frustrate their opponents, but he will be encouraging them to be decisive and clinical on the transitions and take up their chances properly to get a big win.

Torino managed a respectable 11th-place finish in the 2024/25 Serie A campaign, but will be pushing for a place in the top half of the season. To do so, they need to win these tough away games, and they look to pick up some momentum after having only been able to win two of their last five games, having conceded 10 goals in that period.

Marco Baroni will be determined to start his stint as Torino manager by ensuring that they can take the fight to Inter and produce an attractive performance at the San Siro. For that, he'll need his defensive setup to be sturdy to frustrate the Nerazzurri and will push his side to be ruthless on the counter-attacks and set-pieces to stun the hosts and get away with a respectable result.

Key Players to Watch in Inter Milan vs Torino

Lautaro Martinez (Inter Milan)

For Inter Milan to strongly challenge for the Serie A title this season, they will need their Argentine ace Lautaro Martinez to be his most clinical self. Martinez enjoyed a pretty good 2024/25 Serie A campaign, scoring 12 goals by slightly underperforming 13.46 xG (expected goals).

He will be pushing to start his campaign off to a solid start by being a menacing threat for the defenders with his clever off-the-ball movement and link-up play. Martinez will aim to drive his side forward and also create chances with his clever final passes, but he'll mostly be tasked with being in the right positions in the box and finishing off chances efficiently to guide Inter to a rocking start.

Nikola Vlasic (Torino)

Nikola Vlasic remains an important part of the Torino side under the new manager because of how effective he can be in the key attacking areas. He scored five goals in the 2024/25 Serie A by outperforming his 3.44 xG and will be pushing to start his season off in an impactful manner.

Vlasic will be looking to trouble the Inter players with his sneaky movement in the key attacking areas and move his side forward with smart link-up play. He'll be tasked to be clutch with his final passes to help create big chances, and also try to get to the end of chances and put them away efficiently to help his side get the edge over the Nerazzurri.

Inter Milan vs Torino Prediction

Even though Inter have really dominated Torino in their last few meetings, that doesn't necessarily mean that this will be a walk in the park for them. Torino will be gunning to produce an energetic performance and will take the fight to them in the season opener.

However, the Nerazzurri boast a lot more balance and depth in their team as compared to Torino, and Inter's attacking arsenal is likely to prove too much to handle for Torino at the San Siro. That is why Inter should be able to get a win to kick off their campaign in the right way. Here is our Inter Milan vs Torino Prediction.

Predicted score: Inter Milan 3-1 Torino
