MILAN – Serie A returns after the international break with Inter welcoming Torino to San Siro in Week 31 at 20:45 tonight.
With a little help from our friends at Opta, we've pooled together all the pre-match facts and figures you need to know.
HEAD TO HEADS
This is the 144th league meeting between Inter and Torino. The Nerazzurri have won 64 of those, with the Granata prevailing 33 times and the two sides sharing the spoils on 46 occasions.
Inter have lost just one of their last 23 Serie A encounters with Torino, winning 16 and drawing six. That defeat came last season at San Siro.
The Turin-based outfit have failed to score in 14 of their last 21 league matches with Inter.
The last four top-flight clashes between these teams have proved to be miserly affairs, with just three goals in total - an average of 0.75 goals per game.
In the reverse fixture Torino managed eight shots on target. Only once this season – in their home game against Roma (10) – have Inter allowed their opponents more attempts on goal.
PREVIOUS ENCOUNTERS IN MILAN
Prior to their most recent victory at San Siro (0-1 on 25 January 2015), Torino hadn't beaten Inter on the road in almost 27 years, since February 1988. The Nerazzurri had won nine games in that period with six draws.
Torino have drawn a blank in 11 of their last 16 trips to Inter in Serie A.
FORM BOOK
Inter have won their last four home fixtures. They haven't managed five in a row since May 2011.
Roberto Mancini's men have kept just one clean sheet in the second half of the league season (against Chievo), after managing seven in their first 11 games of the campaign.
Both teams have scored in six of the last seven Serie A matches involving Inter.
Torino have won just one of their last 11 league games, losing five and drawing five.
Taking only the last 24 league matches (since their defeat to Carpi) into account, Torino would be second bottom on 20 points (Verona bottom on 16).
The Granata have conceded in 18 of their last 19 away games in Serie A.
