Inter form and stats

Inter has performed well at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza so far this season with 9 wins from 13 matches. Points have also been lost, 2 after draws and 2 from defeats.

Inter are returning here after visiting Milan in a Serie A game and winning with a 3-2 scoreline. Preceding that match was a Europa League defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt (0-1).

This is expected to be a close game, with Inter perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Inter as a small favourite), we find two games. Inter has won 0 of these, drawn 1 and lost 1. A quite possible distraction for the home team is the Inter - Genoa game in the Serie A only three days away. That match is played on a neutral venue.

The Inter fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 21 goals in 13 matches. Inter have showed great defending skills in their home games, allowing the opposition to score only 6 goals.
