Di Carlo v Inter: Di Carlo seeking first win; 15 goals conceded in 6 matches

This is the seventh time Di Carlo has taken on Inter as a coach, with 4 wins for Inter and 2 draws so far. The Nerazzurri have scored in all 6 games - 15 in total.

Leo v Samp: one home win each

This is the third time Leonardo has faced Sampdoria as a coach in a competitive fixture. Both previous games were won by the home side, with no draws

Pazzo's first as an ex

This will be Giampaolo Pazzini's first game at the Marassi stadium since leaving Sampdoria: the Pescia-born striker made 87 appearances between January 2009 and January 2011 for the Blue Hoops netting 48 goals, many of which proved decisive in helping take Samp into the Champions League qualifiers.

Just 2 goals for Inter in 450 mins against Sampdoria; none in 237 mins in Marassi

Inter have drawn 3 blanks in their last 5 competitive fixtures against Sampdoria, and they have only scored 2 goals in the other 2 games: Ibrahimovic in Inter 1-0 Sampdoria (Coppa Italia, 23/04/2009) and Eto’o in Inter 1-1 Sampdoria (Serie A, 24/10/2010). The Nerazzurri haven't scored at the Marassi stadium for 237 minutes, since Ibrahimovic's 33rd minute strike in Sampdoria 1-1 Inter on 30 August 2008 (Serie A). They have failed to find the net in the remaining 57 minutes of that match plus the 2008/09 Coppa Italia game (3-0) and the 2009/10 Serie A match (1-0).

Best and worst attacks in 2011

Considering only 2011 league games, and excluding the rescheduled matches initially due to be played last year, Inter have the best attack in Serie A (22 goals), while Sampdoria are second last on 5 goals. The Ligurian side have managed to score in just 2 of their last 11 Serie A games - at home against Roma (2-1) and Bologna (3-1), ending the other 9 games goalless.

200 league games in Italy for Martinez

Should he play today, Gilberto Martinez will make his 200th appearance in Italian league games. He has racked up 120 Serie A matches and 79 Serie in B, playing for Brescia, Roma and Sampdoria. He made his debut on 15 September 2002 in Brescia 1-2 Piacenza 1-2 (Serie A).

Maccarone seeking his 100th strike in Italian professional leagues

Massimo Maccarone has scored 99 goals in Italian professional leagues, wearing the colours of Prato, Empoli, Siena, Palermo and Sampdoria: 49 in Serie A, 26 in Serie B and 24 in Serie C-2. His first goal dates back to 4 October 1998 in Prato 2-0 Pergocrema (Serie C-2).

Di Carlo hoping to secure his 100th league win as coach

Domenico Di Carlo is one win away from making it 100 victories in professional league games. His 99 wins – in charge of Mantova, Parma, ChievoVerona and Sampdoria – are divided as follows: 31 in Serie A, 33 in Serie B, 18 in Serie C-1 and 17 in Serie C-2. Di Carlo's very first league win came on 31 August 2003: Mantova 1-0 Belluno (Serie C-2). Of his 273 total games as a coach, he has also drawn 96 and lost 78.

Inter come good after the break: 53% of their goals come in the last 30 minutes

In Serie A 2010/11 Inter are the team that has earned the most points in the second half. Compared to their first-half scorelines, they are 14 points better off after 90 minutes. Inter have scored more goals in the last half hour (including added time) of games than any other side on Serie A 2010/11: 25 of their 47 total goals (53.2%). 16 of those goals have been scored between the 61st and 75th minute (the highest number in Sere A 2010/11) and 9 in the last 15 minutes (including added time).

Almost a year since Inter's last sending-off in the league

Inter are one of only 2 teams in the 2010/11 Serie A season - along with Cagliari - yet to have had a player sent off. The last player to be given their marching orders in a league tie for Inter was Muntari on 12 March 2010, in a game Inter lost 3-1 away to Catania. Since then they have played 36 league games without receiving a red card.

No draws for Inter in 15 league games, in 16 for Leonardo

Inter haven't drawn a game in their last 15 league fixtures, winning 10 and losing 5. Their last draw was on 10 November away to Lecce (1-1). Leonardo hasn't drawn any of his last 16 Serie A games (11 wins and 5 defeats); His last draw was Milan 2-2 Catania on 11 April 2010.
