45' Genoa go in front thanks to the most unfortunate of own goals. Skriniar's clearance hits the back of Ranocchia and the ball loops over Handanovic into the net.
40' It's a scrappy and evenly-balanced period in the match with five minutes to go until half time.
35' Candreva accelerates down the left, cuts in, and shoots. His effort is too weak to trouble Perin but Inter are the side pressing for the opening goal!
35' Cancelo crosses but a deflection off Laxalt makes it easy for Perin to collect.
31' Perin makes a great save from Candreva's effort from the edge of the box. Luciano Spalletti's men have a corner!

22' Zukanovic rescues Genoa! Karamoh sends in a good low cross but the Rossoblu defender slides in to clear.
19' Inter so close to taking the lead! Candreva does brilliantly in the box before setting up Karamoh but he can't get a good connection on the shot from the edge of the six-yard box!
17' Cancelo slides a ball through for Eder but he is crowded out despite some good footwork.
14' Eder gets on the end of a pass after a good run in behind the Rossoblu defence but he can't control the ball on his chest ahead of the advancing Perin.
11' Handanovic is deceived by the flight of a cross from Pandev and it hits the crossbar!
9' Pandev breaks and attempts to beat Ranocchia before shooting from a tricky angle. Handanovic is there to save at the front post.
5' Corner for Genoa: Bertolacci gets a head to it at the front post but Skriniar blocks and then clears.
2' Karamoh is straight on the attack, played through by Borja Valero. He crosses towards Eder but Spolli is there to intercept.
1' We're ready for kick off. The home side stand over the ball. Come on boys, Forza Inter!
1' Luciano Spalletti has put his faith in a 4-2-3-1 with Cancelo, Ranocchia, Skriniar and D'Ambrosio in front of Handanovic; Vecino and Gagliardini shielding the defence; and Candreva, Borja Valero and Karamoh playing behind Eder up front.
1' There's a big crowd at Marassi for Genoa vs. Inter on Serie A's 25th match day.

Inter have alternated between a win and a defeat in their last nine league games against Genoa: with a 1-0 win for the Nerazzurri in the most recent clash.

Inter have lost four of their last eight Serie A meetings against Genoa (W4), this after they were unbeaten in the previous 14 games (W9 D5).

Genoa have won each of their last four Serie A matches against Inter at the Ferraris: this is their longest winning streak against the Nerazzurri in the competition.

Genoa have picked up eight points in home games in Serie A this season, more than only Verona and Benevento (seven each) – nevertheless, the Rossoblu have won two of their last three league matches at the Ferraris (L1).

On the other hand, Inter have drawn three of their last four away league games (L1) – the last time the Nerazzurri went five Serie A away games without a win was back in December 2016.

Since Davide Ballardini's appointment as manager, Genoa have collected 21 points: only Juventus and Napoli (31) have picked up more in this period.

Four of Genoa’s last five goals in Serie A have been scored from the 80th minute or later.

Diego Laxalt has scored the winning goal in each of his last two Serie A games (both at minute 90).

Mauro Icardi (99 goals in Serie A) has scored three league goals against Genoa – nevertheless, he has failed to score in his last four appearances against the Rossoblu.

Goran Pandev has scored three goals against Inter in the Italian top-flight: one of them with Genoa in the last meeting at the Ferraris.
