Inter can sew up another piece of the Scudetto in the twenty-seventh-day postponement against Genoa. If they win, in fact, Simone Inzaghi’s men would even move to +15 over Juventus, defeated last night in Naples. A lead that, at that point, would become almost unbridgeable, as Lautaro Martinez and his teammates show no sign of relenting.
It is a dominant Inter that we have been seeing at work for a few weeks now: proof of this is last Wednesday’s bombastic victory over Atalanta, overwhelmed 4-0 at the San Siro. The same result with which the Nerazzurri had won their previous two matches against Salernitana and Lecce. For the fourth game in a row, Inter scored at least four goals: not even Thuram’s injury caused a drop in offensive numbers, and the difference with their direct competitors in terms of goals scored is abysmal (67 goals scored in 27 games and only 12 conceded). One of the few teams to stop Inter in this remarkable season so far has been Alberto Gilardino’s Genoa, who last Dec. 29 at Marassi managed to impose a draw on the Serie A crusher (1-1). Since then, Inzaghi’s team has racked up 11 consecutive victories, including the Italian Super Cup and Champions League challenges. The Rossoblù away from home may be less dangerous, but last Saturday’s 2-0 thrashing of Udinese – the ninth positive result in their last 10 matches – showed that they are healthy. Salvation is not far away (33 points and 12th place) and they can take the field at San Siro with the peace of mind of those who have nothing to lose.
Inter-Genoa: the latest lineup news
Inzaghi has to make up for Bastoni’s disqualification in defense: the solution is to adapt Carlos Augusto as a left-back alongside Pavard and de Vrij. In midfield there is no Calhanoglu, unavailable: space for Asllani, surrounded by Barella and Mkhitaryan. In attack Sanchez and Lautaro Martinez, on the bench Thuram and Arnautovic.
On the other side, Gilardino will confirm the usual 3-5-2, with Gudmundsson and Retegui in attack. In the middle, alongside Badelj, Messias and Frendrup will act, preferred over Strootman and Malinovskyi. On the flanks Sabelli and Martin.
The prediction
Inter are in a state of grace and are unlikely to be slowed down by Genoa, always defeated in their last 9 visits to the San Siro against the Nerazzurri. Inzaghi’s team is likely to score two to four goals.
The probable lineups of Inter-Genoa
INTER (3-5-2): Sommer; Pavard, de Vrij, Carlos Augusto; Dumfries, Barella, Asllani, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Lautaro Martinez, Sanchez.
GENOA (3-5-2): Martinez; de Winter, Bani, Vasquez; Sabelli, Messias, Badelj, Frendrup, Martin; Retegui, Gudmundsson.
