Inter have not lost since 2018 and have won their last two meetings in a row

28 February 2026 - 9:52 am

In the 27th round of the Italian Serie A on February 28, 2026, a match will take place between Inter and Genoa. The hosts are determined to collect the maximum points.

The giants from “Giuseppe Meazza” planned to defend the “Scudetto” until the very end last season, but lost their title due to slip-ups at the finish. They were also close to the Super Cup and the cup, but lost both to Milan. In their last match under Simone Inzaghi, they were defeated 0-5 by PSG in the Champions League.

The current head coach, Chivu, has had his own setbacks, but after being knocked out of the Club World Cup and the Super Cup, he has been successful in the key tournaments. The Italians went confidently through the main stage of the Champions League, but suffered a sudden disgrace against Bodo/Glimt, losing twice. In the cup, they recently beat Torino to reach the semi-finals. Most importantly, they are now sole leaders in Serie A, having overcome Juventus and then Lecce.

The team from Genoa, after returning from Serie B, has been constantly fighting for survival, frequently changing coaches. Vieira, who led them to a thirteenth-place finish last season, was dismissed due to a string of poor results. Under De Rossi, they at least managed to pull away from the relegation zone, thanks in part to a goalless draw with Cremonese and a convincing 3-0 win over Torino.

The tournament leader boasts impressive stats: an average of 2.38 goals scored per match and 0.81 conceded. Their next opponent’s numbers are much more modest, with an average of 1.23 goals scored and 1.42 conceded per game.
