Inter Milan kicks off their first Serie A match of 2025 this Sunday, January 12, facing Venezia at Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo. With an impressive record of 40 points after 17 matches, Simone Inzaghi’s side are in excellent form, boasting the best attack in the league and the second-best defense. The Nerazzurri will look to extend their unbeaten away record, with a perfect five-game streak on the road.
Inter Milan’s Impressive Record
The Nerazzurri have been in sensational form, winning their last five Serie A matches with a dominant goal difference of 19-1. This includes their stunning away form, with five consecutive away victories without conceding a single goal (18-0). Inter could make history with their sixth consecutive away win, matching their longest streak in Serie A.
Inter also holds the best attack in the league, having scored 45 goals in Serie A so far. This marks the third time in club history they have reached this milestone, after the 1949/50 and 1950/51 seasons. With two games in hand, they will look to further solidify their position at the top of the table.
Venezia's Form Ahead of the Match
Venezia, on the other hand, have had a rocky start to the season, suffering four consecutive defeats. However, they are coming into this match on a more positive note, with four unbeaten games in their last five outings. Despite the improved form, Venezia still sits in 14th place with just 14 points from 14 matches.
After a disappointing start to the season, Venezia will aim to put up a strong fight at home, where they have been more resilient in recent weeks, drawing two and winning one of their last three Serie A games at the Penzo.
Marcus Thuram’s Standout Season
One of the key players for Inter Milan this season has been Marcus Thuram, who has been in sensational form. With 12 goals this season, Thuram is close to matching his best-ever tally in Europe’s top leagues. He has been instrumental in Inter’s attacking play, and his consistent performances have made him one of the youngest players to reach 100 goal involvements in the top five European leagues.
Key Stats to Watch:
- Inter Milan is on a five-match winning streak, conceding only one goal.
- The Nerazzurri are unbeaten away in Serie A this season with a perfect 5-0 away record.
- Venezia has struggled this season but remains competitive at home.
- Marcus Thuram is one goal away from his personal best in Serie A.
With the Nerazzurri looking to continue their dominance and extend their winning streak, this matchup promises to be an exciting one. Can Venezia upset the league leaders at home, or will Inter maintain their momentum and take all three points?
