Inter Milan continue their march towards a dominant title win as they welcome Genoa to San Siro for a Monday night Serie A fixture. The Nerazzurri have swatted everyone aside in recent weeks and should ease past an erratic Genoa side.
It is looking almost too easy for Inter Milan in recent weeks as they appear to be cruising towards the Serie A title. Simone Inzaghi’s men are eight points clear at the top of the standings and have won their last 11 matches across all competitions.
Inter Milan were in rampant mood last time out in Serie A as they claimed a 4-0 over Atalanta. They held a two-goal lead at the break thanks to Matteo Darmian and Lautaro Martinez while Federico Dimarco and Davide Frattesi added further goals after the break.
That result highlights a dominant home record for Inter Milan, who have won their last seven matches across all competitions at San Siro. A solid defence has been pivotal in that run as they have kept six clean sheets in the seven home fixtures.
While not as rampant as Inter Milan, Genoa were also victorious in their previous Serie A fixture as they picked up a 2-0 win over Udinese. Quick-fire first half goals from Mateo Retegui and Mattia Bani were enough to earn them all three points.
A major problem for Genoa this season is an inability to build any kind of momentum having won just four of their last 10 Serie A matches. Alberto Gilardino’s men are not in contention for much at the moment as they are 12th on the standings, well clear of the relegation zone and three points off the top 10.
Genoa will still be feeling positive ahead of the trip to San Siro having looked decent on their recent travels. They are unbeaten in their last five away matches, although only two of those fixtures have been wins.
