Inter Milan kept eight clean sheets in their last eight head-to-head matches versus Genoa in all competitions.
Could the Nerazzurri make it nine straight shutouts against the Grifone on Friday night?
Simone Inzaghi’s team lead the Serie A standings, with 44 points. Inter are four points ahead of second-placed Juventus in the race for the title.
The Nerazzurri are on a four-game Serie A winning streak. However, the last time they went to the Stadio Luigi Ferraris to play Genoa, they failed to score in a nil-nil draw.
Genoa returned to Serie A ahead of the 2023-24 season. A recent upturn in form has Genoa in 13th place and six points clear of the relegation zone.
The Grifone are coming off a come-from-behind 2-1 win over Sasssuolo before the Christmas break.
Genoa took eight points from the last 18 points on offer in Serie A, scoring just six goals. However, the defence allowed only six goals to opponents during that time.
Genoa scored just 18 goals in their opening 17 matches. Forward Albert Gudmundsson leads Genoa in goals with seven this season.
The Ligurian club will play Serie A’s best defence on Friday night. Inter conceded just seven goals in the opening 17 matches. Inter kept clean sheets in their last four matches in the league.
The Nerazzurri aren’t just the best defensive team in Serie A, but they are also the best offensive team.
Inter scored 41 goals in the opening 17 games for an average of 2.41 goals per match.
Inter are Serie A’s best away team. They took 22 points from eight away fixtures, conceding a ridiculously low two goals. Meanwhile, Inter bagged 18 goals in those eight fixtures.
Twelve of Genoa’s 19 points came at home. The Grifone went unbeaten in their last four home matches in the league. Could they finally end a poor run of form against Inter?
Inzaghi will be without midfielder Federico DiMarco due to a thigh injury. Lautaro Martinez could miss the game due to a thigh injury, too.
Winger Juan Cuadrado is ruled out until March with an Achilles injury. Full-back Denzel Dumfries will miss the match after suffering a muscle strain.
For Genoa coach Alberto Gilardino, forward Junior Messias will sit out after suffering a muscle strain. Forward Mateo Retegui is unlikely to play after suffering physical discomfort.
Inter have a fantastic record against Genoa and it should stay intact on Friday night. The Nerazzurri should win, although this time, they are likely to concede a goal. Inter will win 2-1.
