Inter Milan are looking to extend their lead at the top of the league table for a higher chance in the title, as they face Genoa CFC, who are in mid-table. These two teams are coming into this game from different results, which may affect their results here. Inter is currently at the top of the league table with 69 points, which is not surprising, considering their current run. Moreover, Inter are currently on a winning streak, giving them so much confidence here. Meanwhile, it is different for Genoa, as they are currently at the 12th of the league table with 33 points. Unlike their opponent, Genoa are from mixed results, but have won their last match, giving them a chance here. The meeting between these two teams is on March 5, 2024, at 3:45 AM (GMT+8).
Inter Milan
Inter have maintained their perfect 2024 record with a 4-0 Serie A win over Atalanta, extending their lead in the Capocannoniere race. With a tally of 67 goals, Inter is four clear of Liverpool and Bayern Munich. They have one toe in the Champions League quarter-finals, with a tough second leg against Atletico Madrid. With the Supercoppa Italiana secured, Inter aims to claim three trophies by June, with the Italian title now theirs to lose. If they win on Monday, Inter will have 72 points from 27 Serie A matches, as many as they managed through the 2022-23 campaign. Both Juventus and AC Milan have been left trailing in their wake. The last time Inter dropped points was in December. Milan have won their last nine league games against the Ligurians at San Siro, and recent form suggests they can extend that streak.
Simone Inzaghi may rotate his squad on Monday evening, with regulars Thuram and Acerbi returning. Alessandro Bastoni is suspended, while Juan Cuadrado and Stefano Sensi are injured. Alexis Sanchez is expected to replace Marko Arnautovic, possibly partnering Lautaro Martinez.
Genoa CFC
Genoa, currently in 12th place in the Serie A standings, will face off against Inter in Italy’s second city. The Grifone have avoided defeat in 10 of 11 Serie A matches since mid-December, with only Inter remaining unbeaten. Genoa’s comeback campaign has been impressive, with Mateo Retegui scoring the opening goal against Udinese, confirming his partnership with Albert Gudmundsson as one of the most productive in the league. Moreover, Alberto Gilardino will be enjoying his front pair’s input, which has secured their survival already. Genoa’s games against Inter and Juventus will put their team to the test, as they have been inconsistent so far this season. Additionally, the away side eased past Udinese by a 2-0 margin last week, and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Genoa is expected to have a nearly full squad for Milan, with Johan Vasquez recovering from a knee injury. Alberto Gilardino may name an unchanged XI.

Inter Milan (2.5)
