Genoa vs Inter prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-12-13 17:00.
[p]Genoa’s unbeaten Serie A run faces arguably its sternest test yet as they welcome title-chasing Inter Milan, who are embroiled in an enthralling battle at the summit.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Unbeaten in five Serie A games (W3, D2), things are looking up for Genoa, who have managed to lift themselves four points clear of the drop zone pre-round. Four of those outings came under new manager Daniele De Rossi, who after overseeing back-to-back league wins against Verona and Udinese, could now become the first Genoa manager to guide them to three consecutive top-flight victories since Davide Ballardini in February 2021. The last Italian manager of Genoa to go unbeaten across his first five top-flight matches was Bruno Giorgi in 1992, so De Rossi could make a slice of history here, although a run of just one win from Genoa’s last ten Serie A home games (D3, L6) suggests that’s far from a foregone conclusion.[/p]
[p]Inter will no doubt be glad to return to the domestic scene, where they’ve excelled of late. The same can’t be said in Europe, where a midweek defeat to Liverpool condemned them to successive UEFA Champions League defeats and left their top-eight position looking much more precarious. Five wins from their last six Serie A games have left their league position looking much more positive, as the Nerazzurri start the round just a point off top spot, a gap that looks closable based on their return of four wins from their last five away league games (L1), as well as a 100% winning record against sides starting this round 13th or lower (W5).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Inter are unbeaten across the last 12 Serie A H2Hs (W9, D3), although all three draws came across the last three meetings on this ground.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Genoa are the only Serie A side not to see a goal scored at either end after the 75th minute in a home league game this term.[/p]
[p]Genoa have only won two Serie A games after scoring first this season (D2, L3).[/p]
[p]Inter have scored a pre-round league-high 12 first-half Serie A goals.[/p]
[p]Inter have received a league-low 20 yellow cards this season.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]On loan from Inter’s bitter rivals AC Milan, Genoa’s Lorenzo Colombo hasn’t seen any of his last seven club goals arrive later than the hour mark. Inter’s Marcus Thuram scored a brace in last season’s corresponding fixture, scoring either side of half-time, just as he’s done in three of his five scoring club appearances this term. [/p]
[p]Morten Frendrup missed Genoa’s last match through injury, while Inter lost both Hakan Çalhanoğlu and Francesco Acerbi to first-half injuries in midweek.[/p]
