Inter has the best defensive record in the league, having conceded the fewest goals with an exact average.” 0.5 goals per game. No one in Europe boasts a better performance away from home, having conceded just 2 goals in 7 outings.
The key to Inter’s current dominance, looking down at all others from the top, starts from the back line, supported by some ‘outstanding’ statistics. Despite the injury crisis due to consecutive injuries to Pavard, Bastoni, De Vrij and Dumfires Simone Inzaghi’s defensive lineup remains the sturdiest in the league, conceding only 7 goals in 14 matches and exhibiting nearly impeccable away performances.
Except for Juventus, whose defense has allowed 9 goals so far, no other defensive unit in Italy compares to Inter’s, which has conceded less than half the goals that AC Milan and Lazio have suffered combined (15).
Beyond Italy’s borders, Inter’s defense currently ranks second only to Nice, sitting second in Ligue 1 behind PSG, with just 5 goals conceded in 14 matches. However, Inter’s defense stands as the top performer in Europe when it comes to away games, allowing only 2 goals.
In a total of 7 away matches played so far, Sommer (pictured above) was beaten only in Bergamo by a strike from Scamacca and in Turin by a moment of brilliance from Vlahovic. With an impressive 9 clean sheets, the Swiss goalkeeper is currently second only to his counterpart at Nice, the Polish Marcin Bulka.
