Only a win will satisfy the home supporters in this Giuseppe Meazza clash with Genoa, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Serie A table.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Inter form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Giuseppe Meazza as Inter, who have the most clean sheets (7) in Serie A, have scored 17 goals to get 20 points from 9 games. The overall stats in the Serie A are 6-2-1 (wins-draws-losses). Inter haven’t lost a game in ten attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Juventus, 75 days ago.
The Inter supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Genoa in Serie A and win 4-0. 1-1 away at Fiorentina before that.
As mentioned above, Inter "killed" Genoa in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
The Inter fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 17 goals in 9 league matches. Inter are not conceding a lot of goals here at Giuseppe Meazza in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 6 from 9 matches.
Genoa form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Genoa, who have the most conceded goals (35) in Serie A, so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 0-4-5 (win-draw-lose).
D. Criscito was the last player to score for the away team. Genoa haven't scored a league goal in the last 225 minutes.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Genoa, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-4 versus Inter (placed 1st). The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Sampdoria.
Genoa lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.
Genoa find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 9 goals from 9 away fixtures in the league. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Genoa's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 24 goals in 9 travels.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Inter - Genoa 4-0. Last ten meetings between the teams: Inter won 6, Genoa won 4 and 0 draws. 4 games with over 2,5 goals, 6 matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
