Inter have won all three of their Serie A and Coppa Italia games against Spezia, scoring ten and conceding just twice across those matches.
Inter have not lost against newly promoted teams in Serie A since September 2018 (0-1 vs Parma). Since then the Nerazzurri have won 13 and drawn two against newly promoted opposition.
Spezia have won their last two home games in Serie A. That’s as many wins as in their first 13 home games in the division (W2 D5 L6). Inter have won 12 of their last 13 games against Ligurian sides in Serie A (L1).
However, the most recent of the Nerazzurri’s two defeats in the league this season came against a team from this region (1-2 vs Sampdoria in January).
Inter have scored 10 of their last 12 Serie A goals in the second half; with 48 goals they are the most prolific team in the league in the second half. Spezia (41 goals conceded) are the worst defensively in the same period.
