Inter Milan host Hellas Verona at the San Siro in Serie A on Saturday, looking for consecutive league wins for the first time in 2022.
Following a downward spiral which saw them win just twice in nine games, the Nerazzurri beat Juventus in a morale-boosting victory last weekend.
A first-half penalty from Hakan Calhanoglu was enough to secure all three points and get their flailing title charge back on track.
The Italian defending champions are now looking to keep up the pressure on AC Milan and Napoli with another three-pointer.
Verona, interestingly, have never beaten Inter in the three-point era, losing 17 times and drawing four times.
In fact, their last win in the fixture came way back in February 1992 - a narrow 1-0 triumph courtesy of a goal from Ezio Rossi.
Inter Milan vs Hellas Verona Head-To-Head
The Nerazzurri haven't lost any of their last 20 matches against Verona, winning 16 times.
They're also currently on a three-game winning run in the fixture since a 2-2 draw in July 2020, including a 3-1 win in the August reverse.
