Duel between Vieri and Antonioli

If he plays for Inter on Sunday, Christian Vieri will be up against one of his favourite targets: Francesco Antonioli. Bobo has put 8 of his 156 goals in competitive matches past the current Sampdoria custodian: 2 in Atalanta 2-0 Bologna 2-0 (1995/96 Coppa Italia), 1 in Bologna 0-1 Lazio and 1 in Lazio 2-0 Bologna (1998/99 Serie A), 1 in Inter 2-1 Roma (1999/00 Serie A), 2 in Roma 3-2 Inter (2000/01 Serie A) and 1 in Inter 3-1 Roma (2001/02 season).

Inter close to 100th goal against Blucerchiati

The Nerazzurri have put a total of 99 goals past Sampdoria in official matches. The first was scored by Bibiano Zapirain in Inter 2-1 Sampdoria on 2 February 1947.

Marazzina danger!

Francesco Toldo is one of Samp striker Massimo Marazzina's favourite targets. The ex-Inter player has put 4 goals past the Padua-born keeper: 1 in Reggina 2-1 Inter (2000/01 Serie A), 1 in Inter 1-2 Chievo (2001/02 Serie A), 1 in Chievo 2-2 Inter (2001/02 Serie A) and 1 in Inter 2-1 Chievo (2002/03 Serie A).
