- Stats before the game. Inter have won the last five Serie A games against Genoa without conceding a goal: Inter have never achieved six consecutive wins against a single opponent in the competition without conceding a goal in the partial (five times even against Atalanta in 1953 ). Inter have won their last seven Serie A home games against Genoa: the Nerazzurri have achieved eight straight home wins against Genoa in the competition between May 1956 and February 1965 alone. Inter have won their last eight Serie A home games: in the last 10 seasons, only Juventus (four times) and Roma (in 2016/17) have managed to record at least nine home wins in a row in a single league. Since Davide Ballardini arrived, Genoa have lost only one Serie A match (5W, 4N), just like Inter (7W, 2N): no team has been defeated fewer times in the period. Inter have scored 57 goals in this league: after 23 games in a single Serie A season they did better only in 1949/50 (65) and 1950/51 (60). Lautaro Martínez has taken part in 17 goals in this league (13 goals, four assists), equaling last season’s Serie A appearances – Genoa are one of eight teams against which the Inter forward has not yet scored in Serie.
