⁠Inter Milan vs Genoa: Predicted Lineup, injury news, head-to-head, telecast

The League leaders will be looking for another win

Internazionale are on the verge of securing their 20th title, currently dominating Serie A as the undisputed top team in the country. Their formidable performance extends to the UEFA Champions League, where they aim for the title as well.

In their latest outing, Inter convincingly defeated the in-form Atalanta 4-0 at San Siro, courtesy of goals from Matteo Darmian, Lautaro Martinez, Federico Dimarco, and Davide Frattesi. Remarkably, they have netted four goals in each of their past four Serie A matches and boast an impressive winning streak of 11 consecutive victories across all competitions.

Genoa have maintained a consistent performance throughout the season since their promotion from Serie B last year. Under the guidance of Alberto Gilardino, the 2006 Italian FIFA World Cup winner, the team comfortably holds a mid-table position. In their latest match at the Luigi Ferraris, Genoa secured a 2-0 victory against Udinese, with Mateo Retegui and Marco Bani finding the net in the first half. Notably, Genoa has experienced only one defeat in their last 11 Serie A matches, although six of those games ended in draws.

Combining physical prowess with tactical acumen, the Italian exhibits exceptional awareness, discerning precisely when and where to make runs for optimal positioning, be it for a cross or a shot.

Mateo Retegui (Genoa)

Mateo Retegui emerges as a formidable and versatile striker, posing a constant threat to defenders in the attacking third of the field.
