Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Genoa vs. Inter Milan at Serie A
Inter Milan looks very serious this season and is the top candidate for winning the Serie A title. For the moment, they are first in the standings and head to Genoa with high morale. On the other hand, the Rossoblu are in the lower part of the standing above the relegation zone but not safe at all. They had several extremely pale performances during December, which resulted in their fall in the standings.
Genoa
The home crew had five games in a row in which they couldn’t win until last weekend. The best they could do were two draws against Empoli and Juventus, with the latter coming as a big surprise.
This negative streak ended a few days ago when Genoa defeated Sassuolo on the road, 1-2. For the first time since late August, this unit returned from one road trip with all three points.
Even though they play much better at home, when looking only at the Serie A meetings at Luigi Ferraris, Genoa’s results are nothing special because they have three victories, three draws, and two losses in eight appearances in front of own crowd.
Inter Milan
Apart from losing in the Italian Cup against Bologna, Inter hasn’t tasted defeat since August 27. We are including all the competitions here, such as the UEFA Champions League too.
Simone Inzaghi tightened his defense and back line, and Nerazzurri posted five clean sheets throughout the previous six events. We can see without any hesitation that Inter has one of the best defenses in Europe.
Since the start of this campaign, the team from Giuseppe Meazza hasn’t lost a single game on the road, having eight victories and three ties. That’s an impressive stat.
Genoa: Martinez; De Winter, Bani, Dragusin; Sabelli, Frendrup, Badelj, Malinovskyi, Vasquez; Junior Messias, Ekuban
Inter Milan: Sommer; Bisseck, Acerbi, Bastoni; Darmian, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Augusto; Thuram, Arnautovic

Inter is ruthless against this opponent, winning seven of the past eight games without a single goal allowed and scoring at least twice in each victory. Last season, the hosts managed to get out with a goalless draw at Luigi Ferraris, but the first clash in Milan saw Inter demolish Bologna 4-0.
The home team didn’t lose in the past two games, snapping one point from Juve, but with Inter in excellent shape, we don’t have the slightest doubt about the outcome of this contest. The guests from Milan are on another level, and we don’t mean to underestimate Genoa, but for us, Inter’s victory here is the most realistic output.
Our verdict: Inter wins
