Genoa vs Inter prediction, H2H and probable line-ups - 14 December 2025
One of the matches of Serie A's 16th round will take place on Sunday at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium in Genoa, where the local side Genoa will host Milan's Inter. Here’s my take on the outcome of this clash, factoring in both teams’ current form and recent head-to-head stats.
Match preview
Since the coaching change, Genoa have undergone a noticeable transformation—the team has improved offensively, started picking up points consistently, and escaped the relegation zone. Their away win over Udinese was particularly telling, with Norton-Cuffy netting his first Serie A goal to set the tone.
Under their new manager, the Griffins are averaging two goals per game—quite a leap from their previous half-a-goal average. However, their poor home record and limited squad depth mean a full-blown revival is still out of reach.
Inter arrive in Genoa eager to bounce back after a frustrating Champions League defeat to Liverpool. Despite that setback, Kivu’s men remain among the Serie A frontrunners, showing impressive attacking prowess.
The Milan side has already scored 32 times in the league, boasting the most diverse list of goal scorers. But injuries in defense and a packed schedule could take their toll—especially with the Supercoppa Italiana trip to Saudi Arabia looming.
Probable line-ups
- Genoa: Leali, Marcandalli, Otoa, Vasquez, Norton-Cuffy, Frendrup, Malinovskyi, Thorsby, Martin, Vitinha, Colombo
- Inter: Sommer, Akanji, Bisseck, Bastoni, Augusto, Barella, Zielinski, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco, Thuram, Martinez
Match facts and head-to-head
- The last three Genoa home games between these sides have all seen both teams score.
- Inter have failed to win in Genoa for three straight visits.
- Genoa haven’t beaten Inter since February 2018—Milan have won 9 of the last 12 encounters since then.
Prediction
Despite the hosts’ inspiring form, Inter’s quality and squad depth give them the edge. Given the Nerazzurri’s habit of sealing victories late, backing an away win with both teams scoring looks like a solid bet.
