Dimarco to the side netting! Martínez keeps dropping into midfield and creating for his team: In this situation he gets through to Dumfries, who puts Džeko in the limelight. The striker passes it on to Dimarco, who fails in the penalty area from a inside left position on the side netting.

21:15
Now the Ligurians dare to go forward again: first Gonzalo Villar’s shot is blocked from about 20 meters in the center, then Onana easily catches a cross from Amione.

21:13
Sampdoria is now being pushed further and further back, the Nerazzurri now have the reins in their hands.
26
21:12
Inter is scratching at 2-0! Martínez cleverly puts Mkhitaryan, who comes in from the left, through who is free in the inside right position. From 15 meters, his full-span shot whizzes just past the Auderos box.
24
21:10
Samp replies aggressively! Colley straddles Martínez at the center line and is lucky not to be cautioned in the scene.
22

20:57
Martínez sends it deep after a throw-in and crosses from the baseline on the right towards Džeko. The Bosnian only misses the cross by a hair’s breadth.
8th.
20:54
But the first degree belongs to Inter! Martínez can pick up the pace in the opponent’s half and play a half-right to Džeko. The veteran decelerates cleverly and then aims at the bottom left corner with his left foot. But Audero is down quickly and can grab it.
5.
20:51
Inter seem a bit surprised by the away team’s approach and still can’t win over Sampdoria’s high pressing. Good start from Dejan Stanković’s team!

1.
20:46
The ball rolls! Referee Luca Massimi kicked off the game, in which Inter usually plays in blue and black, Sampdoria in white.
20:35
Inter coach Simone Inzaghi only changed his starting eleven in one position compared to the Champions League game against Pilsen: de Vrij is allowed to defend instead of Acerbi from the start. On the other hand, Stanković makes five changes compared to the previous week: Ferrari, Yepes, Gonzalo Villar, Léris and Gabbiadini are new in Sampdorias’ starting XI. With the away team, you should pay attention to ex-Mainzer Filip Đuričić, who is the most prolific player in the Liguria to date. Lautaro Martínez, on the other hand, has unsurprisingly netted the most for Inter this season.
20:23
The game is something special for the new coach Sampdoria Genoa: For the first time as a coach, Dejan Stanković meets his old love Inter Milan, for whom the Serb played 278 games in over nine years as a player. Under him, Sampdoria are on the rise, having picked up four points from the three Serie A games in which he has been on the touchline. Last week Samp secured their first win of the season in a 1-0 away win in Cremona thanks to a goal from Omar Colley.
20:12
Despite sixth place in the league, Inter Milan is currently in very good shape. Simone Inzaghi’s side have been unbeaten in six Serie A and Champions League games, winning all of their last three league games. There was a wild 4-3 last-minute win against Fiorentina last weekend, with ex-Dortmunder Mkhitaryan deciding the game five minutes into added time. During the week the Nerazzurri then clinched a comfortable 4-0 win against Viktoria Plzen – so Sampdoria should be warned.
20:00
Inter Milan are only sixth in the table going into this matchday, but are going into the encounter as favorites in a duel with Sampdoria, who have only collected six points from eleven games and are in relegation place 18. Also because Inter won the last meeting in May with a 3-0 win and a brace from Joaquín Correa.
19:45
Welcome to the Saturday night match of Serie A matchday 12, which will see Inter Milan and Sampdoria Genoa meet at 20.45 CET at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium in Milan.
