Match Analysis

Inter's recent form has been a mixed bag, showcasing a win against Fiorentina at home but suffering defeats to both Juventus and Fiorentina in away fixtures. Despite these setbacks, Inter has been prolific in front of goal, with an impressive average of 2.4 goals scored in their last five games. Their defense, however, appears solid, conceding only 1.0 goals on average during the same period. This balance of attack and defense is further reflected in their expected goals metrics, which remain favorable. On the other hand, Genoa's recent performance has shown resilience with a win over Venezia and a draw against Torino, though they fell to Fiorentina. Genoa has struggled to find the net consistently, scoring an average of 1.0 goals per game in their last five fixtures while conceding 1.4. Their expected goals statistics suggest a slightly better offensive output than their actual goals, indicating potential for improvement. Despite this, their two clean sheets highlight a defensive solidity that could be crucial in their attempt to upset Inter.

Final Prediction

Inter holds the upper hand in this encounter, relying on their potent attack and robust defense to secure a win, especially at home. The key factor to watch will be Inter's ability to convert their scoring opportunities, considering their high expected goals metric. Genoa will need to capitalize on their defensive strengths and seize any chances that come their way to challenge Inter's dominance.
