This season, Inter's performance has been nothing short of spectacular, raising the question of whether they are the finest team globally at the moment.

On Monday, Serie A leaders Inter Milan are set to host 12th-placed Genoa at the iconic Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, in a match that could further cement Inter's position at the top of the Italian football hierarchy.

Under Simone Inzaghi's masterful guidance, Inter boasts a commanding 12-point lead over their closest rivals, Juventus, showcasing their dominance in the league.

Inter's attacking prowess, led by Lautaro Martinez with an impressive tally of 29 goals, has been a key component of their success.

However, their defensive solidity, conceding only 12 goals – the best record across Europe's top 5 leagues – cannot be overlooked. Their recent 4-0 victory over Atalanta highlighted their strength, with goals from Matteo Darmian, Martinez, Federico DiMarco, and Davide Fratesi underlining their offensive firepower.

Genoa, however, presents an interesting challenge. With a series of mixed results, Alberto Gilardino's side has found a comfortable mid-table position.

Although European competition seems out of reach, avoiding relegation appears to have been their main objective this season.

Genoa's resilience, particularly away from home, where they've lost only once in their last six Serie A matches, will be tested against the league leaders.

Trends to Watch:

  • Inter Milan's unbeaten streak in Serie A extends to their last 20 games, a testament to their dominance.
  • Genoa has struggled on the road, securing just two wins in their last 12 away fixtures in Serie A.

 

Historical Head-to-Head:

Inter's dominance at San Siro against Genoa is evident, with nine consecutive home wins against Il Grifone in Serie A, highlighting the challenge that lies ahead for the visitors.

Team News:

Inter faces several absences, with Davide Fratessi doubtful, and Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Stefano Sensi, Marcus Thuram, Francesco Acerbi, and Juan Cuadrado sidelined due to injuries. Alessandro Bastoni will also miss the match due to suspension. For Genoa, Alan Matturo remains a doubt, leaving Gilardino with a nearly full squad to choose from.

 

As both teams prepare to face off at San Siro, all signs point to another victory for Inter as they continue their march towards another Scudetto.

Forebet predicts a decisive win for the Nerazzurri, further solidifying their status as Serie A's top team and inching closer to securing the league title.
