Inter and Chievo have faced off a total of 30 times in Serie A, with the Nerazzurri securing 18 wins in comparison to the Venetian’s five (seven draws). Following their first ever triumph back in December 2001, Chievo have since failed to beat Inter away from home in 14 matches (4 draws, 10 defeats).
