Inter Milan
Inter Milan will be looking to bounce back this season following their
9th placed finish last season. Injuries and the Europa League commitment
really hurt the side and their 33 points gap to Juventus really angered
a lot of the fans.
In the summer Mazzarri brought in Icardi, Campagnaro and Andreolli whilst letting a few "squad" players go the other way. Inter are in somewhat of a transitional period right now with long time owner Moratti likely to pass over ownership of the club.
The Nerazzurri have some injury problems ahead of this game with Zanetti, Chivu, Milito and Samuel missing. The club is probably a signing or 2 short at the moment but with the fans expectant, they can't afford to drop points early on.

Genoa
Genoa finished 17th in Serie A last season and survived relegation by 6
points. Once again the pressure will be on to remain in the top flight
of Italian football and they haven't been given a great start.
Liverani was made first team coach this summer and the ex-Italian international has no experience managing at this level. His first game away at the San Siro looks a daunting one and it's no shock to see Genoa as outsiders.
Matuzalem, Biondini and Marchese miss out leaving a few options short in midfield. However up front ex Milan striker Gilardino needs no motivation and as ever the side is dependent on his goals. Newly signed loanee Gamberini is likely to start on the bench but over the season he should boost this leaky defence
