MILAN - Genoa and Inter will meet for the 100th time in Serie A. The Nerazzurri's record reads 50 wins, 29 draws and 20 losses.
Mauro Icardi has scored 24 league goals this season. Only two Inter players have struck 25 or more goals in a single Serie A campaign (Ibrahimovic in 2008/09 and Ronaldo in 1997/98). The Argentine opened his account in the Italian top flight in a 3-1 win for Sampdoria over Genoa in November 2012. He's since struck twice more against the Grifone in his last four league meetings against them with Inter.
Marcelo Brozovic hasn't scored in the league since the reverse fixture when he turned match winner with his first brace in Italian football.
Ivan Perisic has scored three and made another in his last four Serie A away matches. The Croatian's first goal in the top flight came at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris against Sampdoria in October 2015.
No one has made more crosses from open play (265) or provided more assists (10) this season than Antonio Candreva.
Rodrigo Palacio moved to Italy via Genoa in 2009. He scored 35 goals in 90 top-flight appearances for the Rossoblu until his move to Inter in 2012. El Trenza has since found the net three times in eight matches against his former employers.
Eder, a former Blucerchiati player, got his name on the scoresheet in three of his six Genoa derbies in Serie A. The Rossoblu are also Yuto Nagatomo's favourite victim. He has struck three goals in seven matches against them in the top flight, including his first strike in Serie A (March 2011).
Cristian Ansaldi made 24 appearances for Genoa last term but misses the match through suspension. Ex-Nerazzurri men Goran Pandev and Nicolas Burdisso could well line up against their former club.
