7 Mar 09: Genoa vs Inter Milan

Game: GENOA vs INTER MILAN
Type: Italian Serie A
Date: 7 March, 2009



PREVIEW
---------
Genoa hosts Serie A leaders Inter Milan with the hope to maintain their unbeaten home record. Genoa have managed to turn their home into a fortress, remaining unbeaten in their last 13 home matches. Even more impressive is their average scoring statistics, where they have managed an astounding 2.08 goals per match while conceding only a measly 0.85 goals. In addition to this, they have only lost once in their last 15 matches in all competitions!

Inter Milan will be wary of the above when they visit. The Serie A leaders have stuttered of late, unable to win in their last 3. Despite this, there's the saying that form is temporary while class is permanent. Inter has the best away record by far in the league, raking up 9 wins out of 13 away league matches to date. They average approximately 1.88 goals per away game, which will surely increase their percentage of winning away on average. Another interesting point is also the fact that Inter has won all matches prior to playing in the Champions League - and they are meeting Man Utd the following week.
