Serie A returns on 23 August with Inter Milan seeking an historic third consecutive Scudetto. Their dominance of Italian football over the past two seasons has been comprehensive, but cracks are beginning to show and their rivals have invested heavily.
Inter Milan
Simone Inzaghi's side have won the last two Serie A titles and reached the Champions League final in 2025/26, losing narrowly to Real Madrid. The squad is arguably the best in the league, led by Lautaro Martínez and a midfield that combines technical quality with physical intensity. However, Inzaghi faces increased pressure from a frustrated Juventus hierarchy.
Juventus
The Old Lady have spent significant sums in the summer transfer window to address the attacking quality that has limited them in recent seasons. A new striker from the Premier League arrives alongside a creative midfielder from La Liga. Under Thiago Motta — now in his second season — Juventus play a more attractive brand of football than the Allegri era.
AC Milan
Rebuilt under a new sporting director, AC Milan have assembled a squad that blends experience with youth. The January arrival of a world-class attacking midfielder proved transformative last season, and his full first pre-season with the club should accelerate Milan's title challenge.
Betting Outlook
Inter Milan to win Serie A: 2.00. Juventus: 3.75. AC Milan: 5.00. Napoli: 9.00.
Inter's price reflects their quality but offers little value. Juventus at 3.75 deserves consideration — their investment has been purposeful, and Motta is an excellent coach who has had time to implement his ideas.
