Inter’s Serie A fixture schedule next season could become ‘asymmetrical’ for the first time, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

The Nerazzurri have always played their opponents in exactly the same order in the first and second half of their league campaigns.

However, the Lega Calcio’s chief executive Luigi De Siervo is considering the idea of holding two separate ‘draws’ to sort the teams’ fixtures before and after matchday 19.

The new season will begin on the weekend of 24-25 August and is due to end on Sunday 24 May 2020.

Inter faced two tricky runs in their fixture schedule last season, with consecutive matches against Milan and Lazio and then back-to-back clashes against Roma and Juventus.

Removing symmetry from the calendar would mean they only have to survive such a pile-up once in a season.

Serie A 2019-20 will also see the Boxing Day round of fixtures disappear, having only been introduced last year by the Lega’s previous administration.
