Gasperini v Gunes: first time

Inter v Trabzonspor sees Gasperini face Gunes for the first time as a coach but the Turkish coach won't be in the dugout this evening - he's starting a two-match ban.

Inter v Trabzonspor: only home wins

This is the third time these two sides have met in competitive action, with one win apiece in the previous games. Both came in the 1983/84 UEFA Cup, with Inter playing their home game at Cesena.

Inter hosting Turkish sides: high-scoring victories

Inter have taken on Turkish opposition 8 times in European competition, with 5 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats. The Nerazzurri are hosting a Turkish team for the fifth time, having won all 4 previous matches while scoring 3 goals per game an average (12 in total).

Only one win for Trabzonspor in Italy

Trabzonspor have faced Italian sides in competitive European matches 8 times before, winning 2, drawing 2 and losing 4. Considering only games played on Italian turf, the Turkish outfit have just one win to their name (3-1 in Perugia after extra time on 24 July 1999, in the Intertoto Cup), with 1 draw and 2 defeats.

Inter's last draw on the international stage a year ago

Inter haven't drawn a match against international opposition - considering both European fixtures and the Club World Cup - since 14 September 2010, when the Champions League game at Twente ended 2-2. In the 11 games played since then, the Nerazzurri have won 6 and lost 5.

Last home draw in Europe in October 2009

The Nerazzurri haven't drawn a European match at home since 20 October 2009, when Dynamo Kyiv took a point back to Ukraine following a Champions League group-stage match (2-2). Since then the Nerazzurri have obtained 7 wins and 2 defeats at the Meazza.

Only win in last 9 European games for the Turks

Trabzonspor have managed a single win in their last 9 matches in Europe: that was on 27 August 2009 when they beat Toulouse 1-0 away (Europa League). In the other 8 matches taken into consideration, the Turkish outfit have drawn 2 and lost 6.

Trabzonspor without a goal in 305 minutes on their European travels

The last time Trabzonspor scored in a competitive European fixture was on 27 August 2009, when they beat Toulouse 1-0 away in a Europa League match, Gulselam scoring in the 55th minute. Since then, in the remaining 35 minutes of that match plus the following 3 games away to Liverpool (1-0 in the 2010/11 Europa League), Benfica (2-0 in a 2011/12 Champions League qualifier) and Athletic Bilbao (0-0 in 2011/12 Europa League play-off), they have failed to hit the net in 305 minutes while playing away in Europe.

Sweden's Johannesson to referee

Stefan Johannesson was born in Stockholm (Sweden) on 22 November 1971 and has been an international referee since 2003. This is the second time he has officiated in a European fixture this season, after Metalist Kharkov 0-0 Sochaux (Europa League play-off first leg). The Swedish official has never overseen a game involving Inter before but will be taking charge of a match involving an Italian side for the fourth time. Italian clubs are as yet unbeaten with Johannesson: 1 win (West Ham 0-1 Palermo 2006/07 UEFA Cup) and 2 draws (Brescia 1-1 Villarreal in the 2003/04 Intertoto Cup, and Ajax 1-1 Fiorentina in the 2008/09 UEFA Cup). Johannesson will be taking charge of a competitive game involving a Turkish club for the first time.
