Inter form and stats

Inter have performed here at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza this season with 10 wins from 18 Serie A matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 6 games and lost 2.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Inter, as their goalkeeper Samir Handanovic has completely shut out the opponents for 213 minutes in the Serie A.

Happy days for Inter in their previous game, a Serie A match away at Genoa (placed 17th) that ended with a 3-0 victory. In the match before that, Inter hosted Fiorentina and drew the game 0-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Inter have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won two times, drawn two and lost one.

There will be little rest for Inter after this match as they are travelling to Atalanta for a Serie A game in only four days.

The Inter manager A. Conte has got the team scoring with 38 from 18 home games in the league. From these home matches, Inter have conceded only 17 goals.
