MILAN - (Stats courtesy of Football Data) Thirty-one points from 15 games: an average of 2.06 points a game. That's Claudio Ranieri's Inter and how they have been performing in the league. With 8 wins out of their last 9 matches, Inter have scored in their last 15 successive away games (22 goals in all) and haven't conceded a goal away from home for 427 minutes. They hadn't won 6 matches on the trot in Serie A since November-December 2008 and hadn't won four consecutive away matches since January-February 2009.
Ranieri,
who inherited an Inter team which was struggling near the bottom of
the table, has taken them to fifth place, but they would have been
second – on the same number of points as Juventus – if the
championship had begun in Week 5, which was Ranieri's first at the
club, when they won 3-1 in Bologna.
This is the Serie A
league table based on the 15 weeks since Ranieri assumed command:
