Inter Milan will be hoping to achieve their best result with ten wins in ten games in 2024 against Lecce in Serie A tonight.
This is highlighted by today’s print edition of the Roman newspaper Corriere dello Sport, FCInterNews.
Inter will underestimate tonight’s game and take any result at Via del Mare for granted.
On the one hand, Lecce is a formidable team despite being a “minor” squad in Italian football.
The team from Apulia has established itself in the Serie A standings this season. It has also achieved this by betting on football at a higher pace.
And then the issue of team rotation that Inter want to think about.
The Nerazzurri have hardly made any adjustments from one game to the next in recent weeks.
But tonight’s game will see that change.
Players such as Alexis Sanchez, Yann Bisseck, Davide Frattesi and Kristjan Asllani are expected to be in the eleven.
This adjustment will be a check for those players.
Even with the adjustments to the starting eleven, Inter will still be the favourites on paper tonight.
And if the Nerazzurri manage to pick up three points in Milan, it would be their tenth win in a row.
The last time Inter failed to win was in an away game against Genoa. It was at the end of December.
For the past two months, Inter have had it all.
There have been six consecutive Serie A victories and triumphed over Lazio and Napoli to win the Italian Super Cup.
Last Tuesday, Inter beat Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League 16.
A win against Lecce would be the tenth win in a row since the start of January.
In addition, a win would mean that Inter would reach 66 editions in 25 games played.
That would see the Nerazzurri take points at a rate of 2. 64 per game. It would be at a hundred-point rate.
Only once in Serie A history has a team reached triple the number of numbers in a league campaign. It was Juventus in the 2013-14 season with Antonio Conte.
