After 25 games they sit in second place with 16 wins, three losses and six draws. Those matches have left them with 54 points, just two points behind Scudetto rivals and current Serie A league leaders Napoli. A win with results going their way and Inter would be able to leapfrog Napoli and crown themselves as top of the table, a good omen for them the rest of the campaign. Stepping up for I Nerazzurri has been striker Marcus Thuram. He is relishing in his second season at Inter, finding the back of the net 13 times, making him the third top scorer in the league, accompanied with four assists. It isn’t just Thuram that can provide goals in this Inter Milan squad though as they have a plethora of players capable of grabbing a goal this Saturday, players like Lautaro Martínez with 12 goal involvements and Nicolò Barella with eight.

In the goals for Il Grifone has been striker Andrea Pinamonti. The Sassuolo loanee has provided eight goal contributions, split into seven goals and an assist.
