As a result, Inter Milan endured their second consecutive loss in Serie A, something that has not happened since the 2022/23 season. Additionally, the team failed to score in these encounters.

Inter Milan vs. Verona: Match Prediction
Inter Milan is not in their best form and will face Verona after a challenging away match against Barcelona in the Champions League. Overall, Inter has not been very prolific even in home matches recently and may again struggle to break down the opponent's defense. In the last 12 home Serie A games, the team has only managed to score more than two goals on four occasions.
Verona is ready to put up a decent fight: their attacking form is lacking, but Paolo Zanetti's side can play solidly at the back. In their last seven away league encounters, Verona only allowed Juventus to score more than one goal, and they even kept a clean sheet in two matches during this period. Additionally, in the last five head-to-head meetings at Inter's home in Serie A, the club conceded a maximum of two goals. Meanwhile, Verona has scored only four times in their last eight away league games.
I do not expect the teams to deliver a high-scoring match, so my prediction: Total under 3
