Today’s Serie A match at home to Genoa is a final test for Inter in their bid to become champions of Italy an Italian media report has argued today.

Gazzetta dello Sport claim that the match at San Siro against Davide Ballardini’s in-form Genoa side will be a real tet of Inter’s maturity as a team.

After beating both Lazio and AC Milan and having taken control at the top of the league table, Inter coach Antonio Conte knows that a further step forward is needed.

Inter have to take advantage of Juventus’ draw with Hellas Verona yesterday and the fact that two title rivals in Roma and AC Milan are due to face off later on today.

A win over Genoa today could prove to be decisive for Inter, who are chasing a first Serie A title since the 2009/10 season.

The Nerazzurri currently sit four points clear at the top of the table with 15 games to play.
