Summer’s final dress rehearsal is here. **Inter vs Real Betis** brings down the curtain on pre-season for the reigning Serie A champions, and there’s a lovely full-circle feel to it — these two clubs last shared a pitch back in a Qatar World Cup break friendly. This time, it’s Bari’s turn to host a proper European clash before the real action begins.

## Why This Match Matters

This friendly isn’t just another summer exhibition — it’s Inter’s last checkpoint before the serious business begins. A week later, the Nerazzurri open their Serie A title defense against Monza at San Siro. For Simone Inzaghi’s men, Bari is the final chance to sharpen fitness, settle on a starting shape, and give fringe players a proper audition before the league kicks off.

For Real Betis, it’s the culmination of a solid preseason under Pellegrini, who has already tested his squad against Lyon and other European sides this summer. Interestingly, Inter and Real Betis have never faced off in a competitive fixture — this will only be their second-ever friendly meeting, following a 2022 clash in Seville during the World Cup break.

## Team News and Lineups

Expect Inzaghi to rotate his squad generously, giving minutes to players who need sharpening ahead of the Serie A opener. Betis, similarly, are likely to field a strong senior XI to end their preseason on a high note after some encouraging pre-season form. Confirmed lineups usually surface around an hour before kickoff — worth checking closer to matchday.

## Prediction

With home comforts and a settled system under Inzaghi, Inter should edge this one, though pre-season friendlies often produce closer, more open contests as both sides manage fitness loads. A tight, entertaining match looks likely rather than a rout.
