Le sfide Gasperini-Inter

Sono 7 i precedenti ufficiali tra Gasperini e l’Inter: finora l’attuale tecnico del Genoa non ha mai vinto: 3 pareggi e 4 sconfitte, lo score a suo sfavore.

No Genoa goal in last 3 games against Inter

Borriello was the last player to score for Genoa against Inter: in the 85th minute of a 1-1 draw at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris on 19 March 2008. There have since been four meetings between the two teams, all in Serie A: 0-0 in Milan and 0-2 in Genoa in 2008/09; 5-0 in Milan and 0-0 in Genoa in 2009/10.

...and two away from 100th goal

Luca Toni is two goals short of a century of Serie A goals, having scored 98 for Vicenza, Brescia, Palermo, Fiorentina, Roma and Genoa. He scored his first top-flight goal in Vicenza's 2-1 home defeat against Atalanta.

Toni one away from 200th appearance in Serie A...

If he plays against Inter on Friday night, Luca Toni will complete a double century of appearances in Italy's top flight. Besides Genoa, Toni has also played Serie A football for Vicenza, Brescia, Palermo, Fiorentina, Roma and Genoa. He made his Serie A debut in Vicenza's 2-0 defeat to AC Milan on 1 October 2000.

Genoa on target in 23 consecutive home games

The Rossoblu have scored in their last 23 matches at home, netting a total of 45 goals (an average of almost 2 per game). They last failed to score at home on 17 October 2009, when they were beaten 5-0 by ...Inter.

Eto'o's goals decisive

Samuel Eto'o is the most decisive player in the 2010/11 Serie A championship. His goals have earned Inter 10 of their 15 points.

GENOA - Sulley Muntari came off the bench and scored in added time at the end of the first half as Inter saw off Genoa at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.

The 1-0 win lifts the Italian champions above AC Milan, who take on Juventus tomorrow, and within a point of Serie A leaders Lazio, who travel to Palermo on Sunday.

Genoa made an attacking start to the Friday night fixture but Luca Toni failed to take advantage of several clear chances.

Inter lost Esteban Cambiasso to injury in the 19th minute and on came Muntari.

In the last minute of first-half stoppage time the Ghana midfielder received from Wesley Sneijder and whacked a left-foot shot past Eduardo to give Inter the upper hand.

The Nerazzurri suffered a further injury blow twenty minutes after half time when Julio Cesar came off with a muscular problem.

On came Luca Castellazzi for his first Serie A game for Inter after a substitute appearance against Werder Bremen, and the Brazilian's understudy protected his team's lead with saves from Toni and Destro.
