We’re set for an engaging Serie A showdown as Inter de Milán hosts Hellas Verona on Saturday, May 3, 2025, at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium. This Matchday 35 clash sees Simone Inzaghi’s Nerazzurri, chasing the league lead, facing Paolo Zanetti’s Gialloblú, who are battling to climb away from the relegation zone. With Inter coming off a Champions League semifinal and Verona desperate for points, this match promises intensity and stakes.
Below, we detail the match context, broadcast options, and predictions to ensure you catch every moment live.
Inter de Milán arrives after a 1-0 loss to Roma, which snapped a 30-match unbeaten run and left them second in Serie A with 71 points, three behind leaders Napoli. Despite the setback, Simone Inzaghi’s side remains a powerhouse, with 72 goals scored (second only to Napoli) and the league’s best defense, conceding just 33 goals. Their 4-0 Champions League semifinal defeat to Barcelona exposed fatigue, and Inzaghi may rotate heavily, with Hakan Çalhanoğlu and the manager himself suspended due to an investigation involving San Siro ultras. Key players like Lautaro Martínez (14 goals) and Marcus Thuram (12 goals) are expected to lead, though Benjamin Pavard’s injury and Çalhanoğlu’s absence shift reliance to Piotr Zielinski and Davide Frattesi. Inter’s 13-match home unbeaten streak in Serie A (10W-3D) makes them favorites.
Hellas Verona, languishing in 15th with 32 points, fell 2-0 to Cagliari, compounded by Daniele Ghilardi’s red card. Paolo Zanetti’s side has struggled defensively, conceding 62 goals, the second-worst in the league. Their attack, led by Casper Tengstedt (six goals) and Tomas Suslov (four goals), offers hope, but injuries to Martin Frese, Ondrej Duda, and Juan Manuel Cruz, plus doubts over Pawel Dawidowicz, weaken their squad. Verona’s four wins this season include a shock draw against Inter last year (2-2), but their 0-13 record at Giuseppe Meazza against Inter is daunting. With only 2,500 fans traveling, they face an uphill battle.
The head-to-head history heavily favors Inter, who have won 23 of 28 meetings, including a 2-1 home win last season. Verona’s defensive frailties and Inter’s home dominance suggest a one-sided affair, though rotation and Verona’s desperation could add unpredictability. Posts on X note Inzaghi’s likely use of reserves to preserve stars for the Champions League return leg, potentially giving Verona a slim chance.
The match kicks off at 12:45 PM Central Mexico Time (2:45 PM ET, 8:45 PM CEST) on May 3, 2025, at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium. Broadcast and streaming options include:
Broadcast Highlights:
Date and Time: Saturday, May 3, 2025, at 12:45 PM CMT (2:45 PM ET, 8:45 PM CEST)
Venue: Giuseppe Meazza Stadium, Milan, Italy
Context: Inter (2nd, 71 points) aims to close the gap to Napoli, while Verona (15th, 32 points) fights to avoid relegation.
Key Players:
Prediction: Inter’s home dominance and attacking depth make them heavy favorites, even with rotation. Verona’s defensive struggles and poor record at Giuseppe Meazza point to a comfortable Inter win. Betting odds list Inter at -300, Verona at +800, and a draw at +400. Given Inter’s 72 goals and Verona’s 62 conceded, over 2.5 goals (-110) is likely, with Inter to win to nil (+100) a strong possibility due to Verona’s meager 30 goals scored. A 3-0 Inter win is predicted, with Martínez or Thuram scoring, though Verona may push for a consolation if Inter’s reserves falter.
Projected Lineups (subject to rotation and injuries):
We anticipate a dominant Inter performance, leveraging their home strength and depth to outclass a Verona side plagued by defensive issues and injuries. While Inzaghi’s rotation may give Verona brief hope, Inter’s quality should shine through, keeping them in the title race. The Giuseppe Meazza atmosphere will amplify the stakes, with Verona’s faint chance resting on exploiting any complacency.
