The facts and figures from the first half of the 2020/21 Serie A campaign


MILAN - Inter ended the first half of the season with a draw in Udine. It was a result that saw the Nerazzurri reach 41 points after the first 19 Serie A matchdays, two behind AC Milan. Antonio Conte’s side have a record of twelve wins, five draws and two defeats so far this season. Inter, who have the division’s best attack with 45 goals scored, have seen twelve different players get on the scoresheet in the league so far: Lukaku (12), Lautaro (9), Hakimi (6), D’Ambrosio (3), Barella (2), Gagliardini (2), Skriniar (2), Sanchez (2), Perisic (1), de Vrij (1), Vidal (1), Brozovic (1) and three own goals (Ceccherini, Chiriches and Marrone).

Those 45 goals make up Inter’s best tally in the first half of a Serie A season since 1950/51 (46).

From 2010/11 to now, this is the third time that Inter have taken at least 40 points in the first half of the season in Serie A: 41 in 2017/18, 46 last season and 41 during the current campaign.

Inter’s twelve wins in their first 19 games is not a Club record, given that the Nerazzurri have done better on four occasions: 2006/07, 2007/08, 2009/10 and 2019/20.

FIRST HALF OF THE SEASON | THE LEAGUE'S BEST XI ACCORDING TO OPTA

Opta has put together a Top 11 from the first half of the Serie A season, with this being based on the numbers recorded by individuals. Four Nerazzurri players have made the cut: Stefan de Vrij, Milan Skriniar, Marcelo Brozovic and Romelu Lukaku.

Stefan de Vrij The Dutchman has made 17 appearances and scored once so far this campaign. Out of those who have played at least 1,450 minutes this season, no defender has been beaten by opposition dribbles on fewer occasions than De Vrij (only seven times).

Milan Skriniar Skriniar has played 15 matches and scored two very similar headers, with the Slovakian returning to the scoresheet against Verona for the first time in almost three years. So far this season, Skriniar has scored more goals than he had done in his previous 90 matches in the Italian top flight with Inter. In total, the 25-year-old defender has found the net six times in 120 appearances for the Nerazzurri.

Marcelo Brozovic A player who is always in the top positions when it comes to distance covered, Brozovic has scored once in 17 matches this season. However, the Croat has made a significant contribution in terms of assists, registering six (only Mkhitaryan has done better with eight). The 28-year-old has already equalled his tally from last season in this regard.

Romelu Lukaku Lukaku has scored twelve goals in 18 appearances this season. Out of those who have found the net at least ten times in Serie A this campaign, the Belgian is the player who has fired the highest percentage of his shots on target (62%).
