Inter vs Genoa Prediction 28 February 2026
📢 Can Genoa cause an upset for the league leaders in the 27th round of Serie A at the Giuseppe Meazza? Inter are confidently marching towards the title, rarely slipping up in recent matches. However, the "Grifoni", despite hovering near the relegation zone, appear quite capable and will surely attempt to put up a fight.
Head-to-Head
📊 The head-to-head history between Inter and Genoa clearly favors the Milan club. Over the years, the teams have faced off in 38 matches, with the Nerazzurri claiming 25 victories. Eight encounters ended in a draw, while the Griffins managed to come out on top just 5 times. In their first-round clash, Genoa put up a valiant fight but ultimately fell at home with a 1-2 scoreline.
Head-to-head statistics Inter - Genoa
Inter Milano Team Overview
🔵 The Milan side approach the upcoming match with a disappointing track record in European competitions. On February 24, they suffered their second defeat to Bodø/Glimt-this time at home (1-2)-and were knocked out of the Champions League, much to the surprise of the football community. While issues with finishing (30 shots and an xG of 2.43) can be discussed, their defensive play raises even more questions: the first goal conceded was due to a glaring defensive error, making it difficult to recover in the game.
⚫ On the flip side, Inter can now fully focus on Serie A, where the situation is highly favorable for them. After 26 rounds, the Milan side sit at the top of the table with a ten-point lead over their closest rival. Their consistency is impressive: they have won 13 of their last 14 league matches, including a convincing victory over Lecce (2-0) last weekend.

Genoa Team Overview
🔴 Appointing Daniele De Rossi as head coach has been one of Genoa's most successful decisions in recent years. At the start of the season, the team played poorly, frequently lost, and was considered a prime candidate for relegation. However, with the arrival of the Italian specialist, the "Grifoni" have shown significant improvement and have started to challenge almost every opponent. In 2026, the team has only lost twice and has climbed to 14th place in the standings, although they are still just three points clear of the relegation zone.
🔵 Last weekend, Genoa confidently dispatched Torino on home turf, securing a 3-0 victory. The hosts took control from the start, leading by two goals at halftime, and an opposition red card further simplified their task - in the second half, the team comfortably saw out the match to a commanding win.

Latest news
Inter Milano
📣 Inter's head coach Cristian Chivu reflected on the 2-1 defeat to Bodø/Glimt: "We did everything we could from the start... In the second half, Bodø/Glimt had much more energy. I can't fault the players-they gave it their all, but in Europe, we weren't competitive enough and must congratulate our opponents."
🚫 Inter are facing some minor squad issues. Alessandro Bastoni will miss the match due to an accumulation of yellow cards. Hakan Çalhanoğlu's participation is doubtful as he recovers from a muscle injury. Lautaro Martínez will be sidelined for a longer period-the Argentine is recovering from a calf injury and is expected back only by the end of March.
Genoa
📣 Genoa's head coach, Daniele De Rossi, reflected on the 3-0 victory against Torino: "I'm proud of the guys - they are the ones who make the difference. The first half was truly remarkable, and the atmosphere in the stands was incredible: playing in front of 30,000 fans makes it really tough for the opposition. My players work hard and sacrifice themselves - they are the ones who make the difference."
🚫 The "Griffins" are dealing with short-term injury issues. Goalkeeper Benjamin Siegrist (broken finger), Sebastian Otoa (thigh injury), and Brooke Norton-Cuffy (thigh injury) are doubtful for the next match.
⚽️ Goal Predictions
Inter's home games often turn out to be high-scoring affairs, with the over 2.5 goals hitting in 6 of their last 7 home fixtures. Notably, Genoa's matches have become noticeably more open and dynamic since De Rossi took over as head coach, making this bet a strong contender for the upcoming clash.
🚩 Corner Predictions
While Inter lead Serie A in corners won, averaging 6.8 per match, they haven't been hitting those numbers recently. The total for Inter under 7.5 corners has landed in 12 of their last 14 league games. In the first-round head-to-head, the Nerazzurri earned six corners, so we're expecting this bet to come through once again.
Editorial Prediction
According to bookmakers, Inter are the clear favorites in the upcoming match, and it's hard to argue with that assessment. First, after their exit from the Champions League, the Milan side will be eager to redeem themselves in front of their fans and deliver a convincing performance at home. Second, Genoa have struggled at the Giuseppe Meazza - the hosts have won the last 11 Serie A head-to-head meetings there. Even considering De Rossi's team's progress, breaking this streak seems extremely challenging, making a bet on an Inter win with a -1 handicap a reasonable choice. We expect to see a 3-1 scoreline on the board.
