The club from Genoa finished last season with 43 points in thirteenth place, showing improvement after Vieira took over as head coach. In the new campaign, De Rossi has replaced him, also providing a boost. In the last rounds, having already secured their position, they recorded goalless draws against Atalanta and Fiorentina.
The “San Siro” giants had a disappointing 2024/2025 season, finishing only eighth, with the Super Cup as scant consolation. Allegri returned as head coach over the summer, and the team improved significantly, becoming Inter’s main challenger. However, in the spring their performance dipped, and they shifted their focus to the battle for second place, and after further setbacks—including against Sassuolo and Atalanta—even to securing fourth.
Malinovskyi and company currently average 1.11 goals scored and 1.33 conceded per match. One of the division leaders fares much better: 1.39 goals scored and only 0.89 conceded on average.
