Cambiasso’s goals against Andujar
Esteban Cambiasso’s favourite goalkeeper is Andujar, with the Argentine having scored 3 of his 44 competitive goals against him: Cuchu has scored the same number against Frey.
Inter, Catania and goal-scoring defenders
At the league’s first international break, after 7 games, Inter are one of three sides to have the highest number of goals scored by defenders – 2: one from Alvaro Pereira away at Chievo Verona on 26 September and one from Walter Samuel in the derby win over AC Milan on 7 October. Catania and Sampdoria have the same number of goals from the back but statistically their defenders have made a more telling contribution with Maran and Ferrara’s sides having both scored 9 goals overall thus far (22.2% from defence) while the Nerazzurri have managed 11 (18.2% from the back).
No penalties in Catania’s games in 2012/13
Catania have not seen a penalty this season, neither for nor against them. They are one of two sides in Serie A with this record, the other being Palermo.
Coaches meet for the first time
Andrea Stramaccioni and Rolando Maran meet for the first time. It’s also the first time the current Nerazzurri coach takes on Catania. Maran has never met Inter
