Inter Milan Team News: Goalkeeping injuries

First-choice goalkeeper Yann Sommer is sidelined for Inter this weekend due to a finger injury and his back-up, Raffaele Di Gennaro, has also been dealing with a finger issue. They have a couple of key doubts further forward, too, such as Carlos Augusto and Marcus Thuram.

Predicted XI (3-5-2): Josep Martinez; Pavard, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Lautaro Martinez, Taremi

Unavailable: Sommer (Injured), Carboni (Injured)

Questionable: Di Gennaro (Injured), Carlos Augusto (Injured), Thuram (Injured)

Genoa Team News: Scoring issues

Genoa have been improved but have struggled for goals throughout the campaign and they are now without former Olympique de Marseille striker Vitinha alongside midfield duo Milan Badelj and Morten Thorsby.

Predicted XI (4-4-2): Leali; De Winter, Bani, Johan Vasquez, Caricol; Junior Messias, Frendrup, Masini, Miretti; Cornet, Pinamonti

Unavailable: Badelj (Injured), Thorsby (Injured), Vitinha (Injured)

Questionable: Balotelli (Out of favour)

Inter Milan vs Genoa Prediction

Internazionale come into this one on the back of a 1-0 defeat to Juventus in the Derby d’Italia at the J Stadium last weekend in Turin with Francisco Conceicao notching in the second-half. The Nerazzurri have now managed just one win in their last four Serie A matches as they chase Napoli at the top-of-the-table. They now face a Genoa side that, under the management of Patrick Vieira, have climbed into the middle-of-the-table with an impressive defensive record, most recently defeating struggling Venezia by two goals to nil last weekend. Inter are favourites for this one but it is unlikely to be too entertaining for the neutral. 

Inter Milan vs Genoa Tip: Inter Milan to win & under 3.5 goals
