Football Data provide us with a selection of facts and figures relating to this game: kick-off is at the Stadio Meazza at 15:00 this afternoon

No penalties in 22 league matches for Inter
Inter are one of just two Serie A sides yet to have been awarded a penalty this season, a record they share with Chievo Verona. The statistic is particularly incredible for Mazzarri's men, considering that they boast the league's fourth-best attack (38 goals). The Nerazzurri's last spot-kick was on 8 May: Alvarez missed from 12 yards in Inter 1-3 Lazio, 22 championship games ago.

Inter unbeaten in seven at home for first time in a year
The Nerazzurri are currently enjoying a seven-match unbeaten run at home in competitive fixtures (won four, drawn three), their last defeat in San Siro coming at the hands of Roma (0-3 on 5 October 2013). Inter haven't gone this long without losing on home turf since the period from September 2012 to February 2013, when they put together 11 wins and 5 draws for a 16-game streak without defeat.

Palacio & Cambiasso, Catania's nightmare double act
Rodrigo Palacio and Esteban Cambiasso have scored ten goals between them against Catania, meaning that today's visitors are the Argentine pair's second favourite target in Italy: they have netted six and four times respectively against the Sicilian team. Their favourite victims of all are Parma for the striker (nine), and Fiorentina for the midfielder (six).

Catania's last away win 11 months ago
Catania haven't tasted victory on the road since they overcame Parma 1-2 on 24 February 2013 in a Serie A meeting. In their 16 away trips since then, they have managed just three draws and 13 defeats (10 in the last 10) and have failed to pick up a single point outside Sicily all season: their last was against Torino on 19 May (2-2). Catania have also conceded in 13 consecutive away games, shipping 34 goals in the process: their last clean sheet came in a 0-0 stalemate at Chievo Verona on 14 April 2013.

Mazzarri leads Maran 3-1
These two coaches have faced off five times before today, with three wins for Mazzarri, one draw and one victory for Maran.

Mazzarri has upper hand against Catania
Walter Mazzarri has pitted his wits against Catania on 17 previous occasions, winning eight, drawing five and losing four.

Nothing but defeat for Maran against Inter
This is Rolando Maran's fourth meeting with Inter as a coach and so far he has always lost against the Nerazzurri.
