Inter Milan are looking to extend their winning streak to seven games in Serie A
Inter Milan are looking to extend their winning streak to seven games in Serie A

Inter Milan will be looking to end the year on a high when they travel to the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi to take on Hellas Verona in Serie A.

Having won the last six games in the league, the Nerazzurri have banished their early-season wobbles to remain just a point behind runaway leaders and crosstown rivals AC Milan.

They had won only three times from the opening seven games, putting manager Antonio Conte under pressure, but he's since managed to steady the ship.

However, another challenge awaits him and his side before closing out the year in the form of an erratic Verona side that have taken points off the bigwigs.

The Gialloblu started the campaign with a goalless stalemate to AS Roma. They were later awarded a 3-0 win after Roma irregularly fielded Amadou Diawara. They also held AC Milan and reigning champions Juventus, before defeating Atalanta and Lazio on the road.

However, these big scalps were undone with poor results against teams residing in the bottom half of the table. Verona dropped points to Parma, Genoa, Cagliari, and Sampdoria, which is why they're sitting ninth in the standings with just 20 points from 13 games.


Hellas Verona vs Inter Milan Head-To-Head

This has been a totally one-sided fixture over the years, with Inter Milan winning 13 times from 17 meetings and the remaining four ending in draws.

Verona, who held Inter to a 2-2 draw in this fixture last season, will be looking to secure their first-ever win against Inter.
