Inter vs. Monterrey Betting Analysis
At first glance, it is obvious that Inter Milan is favored to win their opening game. Their implied chances of winning stand just above 70%, reflecting confidence in their Serie A and Champions League form, despite failing to win either.
One important thing to note is that the odds have shifted since Inzaghi left. However, Monterrey had a similar situation, and their implied probability of securing a win is around 18%. While they’ve had coach changes as well recently, their odds didn’t change much since opening.
The goal line shows expectations of a high-scoring affair, as it stands at 2.75. Both teams average just above 3.0 goals per game in their matches, but the question is whether this is reason enough to side with Over 2.5 Goals in the betting market.
Similarly, the Both Teams To Score – Yes selection is priced lower than No, implying that Monterrey has a decent chance of getting on the scoreboard.
However, Inter’s defence has conceded only 0.92 goals per game in Serie A, with clean sheets in 42% of fixtures, or more precisely, 16 out of 38 games, placing them in third place in their league.
The main question is then, can La Pandilla get on the scoreboard if the Italian club is not in top form?
While this will be the first-ever clash, and unexpected things can happen, betting on Under goals, or BTTS – No, seems like the best choices.

Inter vs. Monterrey Prediction
Best Bet: Under 2.75 Asian Goals
Our Inter vs. Monterrey best bet is on the goal line of 2.75 goals not to be reached.
Inter vs. Monterrey Picks, Parlay
Leg 1: Under 2.75 Asian Goals
Leg 2: Both Teams to Score – No
Leg 3: Monterrey Asian Handicap +1.25
Defeated Champions League finalists, Inter Milan, are aiming to avenge themselves as they face Mexican giants Monterrey at the Rose Bowl, California. Monterrey has invested heavily in its squad and boasts talent such as Sergio Ramos, Lucas Ocampos, Jesus Corona, Oliver Torres, and Sergio Canales.
Still, Inter could be too strong for Monterrey in phases and might start their campaign with a victory, but will this contest take a little while to get going? If it does, the goal line of 2.75 goals might not be reached.
New Inter manager Cristian Chivu has only a brief managerial stint in charge of Parma to shout about in senior football; in those 13 games, BTTS has failed to land seven times. Monterrey also has a new boss in charge, Pep Guardiola’s former assistant, Domenic Torrent. This could result in a slightly disjointed game where both teams look to implement the new boss’s idea in their first games in charge.
The Nerazzurri have managed only three wins—against Cagliari, Como, and Torino—by more than a one-goal margin since April, and there’s a sense that this tournament could be an onerous yet financially rewarding commitment following a demanding season.
In contrast, the Mexican side is undoubtedly fresher, having last played competitively on 11 May, and has lost just five of their last 20 matches across all competitions. With the experienced Domenec Torrent at the helm and seasoned players like Hector Moreno and Sergio Ramos, backing the Rayados not to get beaten heavily could be a wise choice.
Inter vs. Monterrey Projected Starting Lineups
