Good Attacking Performance

This is largely down to the efforts of their stand-out attackers – Lautaro Martinez (6), Nicolo Barella (4), and Edin Dzeko (3). Teams that leak goals on a consistent basis, don’t tend to win anything, such is the situation with Inter so far, having conceded 17 goals in their last matches so far.
Simone Inzaghi will be forced to make changes to the plans for his squad, as injury or illness has depleted him of one of his Inter players.
