Lecce vs Inter

Lautaro Martínez (112) has become the second-highest foreign scorer in Inter’s Serie A history, overtaking Mauro Icardi (111). Only Stefano Nyers (133) has scored more than the Argentine player with the Nerazzurri shirt in the competition.

Inter have scored 55 goals after 21 matches in Serie A this season: this is only the second time the Nerazzurri have scored at least as many goals after the first 21 matches played of a single Serie A campaign (58 in 1949/50).

Simone Inzaghi has become the coach who has taken the fewest matches to reach 200 victories in Serie A history: 200 wins in 332 games, surpassing Massimiliano Allegri (200 in 338 matches). 

Inter are both the club with the most wins against Lecce in Serie A (29 of 37 matches, with four draws and four wins for the Salentini) and the team with the most goals scored (87) against the Giallorossi in the top-flight.

Inter have won each of their last five league matches against Lecce, scoring at least two goals in each (12 in the period, 2.4 on average) and keeping a clean sheet in the four most recent ones.

Lecce have won only one of their last eight matches at the Via del Mare stadium against Inter in Serie A (D3 L4): 1-0 on 29th January 2012, with a goal by Guillermo Giacomazzi, under Serse Cosmi.

Lecce have avoided defeat in five of their last six home games in Serie A (W2 D3) – their only home defeat in this period came against Lazio, last 21st December (1-2).

Inter have won their last seven away league games; only once in their history in Serie A have the Nerazzurri recorded a longer streak of consecutive away wins: 11 between October 2006 and March 2007 under Roberto Mancini.
