Statistics Indicate Inter Milan Are On Track To Win Serie A Title | OneFootball

Cristian Chivu is writing history with every passing week, and the numbers behind Inter Milan and the 2-0 victory at Lecce suggest the Nerazzurri are firmly on course to wrap up the Serie A title.

According to La Repubblica, Chivu’s 64 points from 26 games represent the highest points tally ever accumulated by a debutant manager in Serie A history at this stage of the season.

Projected across the full 38-game campaign, that average would deliver the title with 93 points.

Indeed, a remarkable total that would represent one of the finest title-winning performances in Italian football history.

The only historical caveat is Carlo Carcano, whose Juventus side of 1930-31 would have accumulated 65 points from their opening 26 games under the modern three-points-for-a-win system.

Chivu, who arrived at Inter in June having spent just three months in Serie A as a coach, is fully aware of the significance of what he is achieving.

However, Saturday’s win was again a testament to his squad management.

With the game locked and the performance flat, the introductions of Mkhitaryan and Akanji proved decisive.

Indeed, with the pair combining with Dimarco, whose corners continue to be Inter’s most dangerous weapon, to deliver three more crucial points.

With a ten-point lead over AC Milan and a squad growing in depth and confidence, the title is increasingly looking like a matter of when, not if.
