Inter Milan return to Serie A in Pisa: numbers, records and hidden threats

Chivu’s Inter Milan chase momentum against a resilient Pisa side as key milestones, stats and trends shape Matchday 13

Inter Milan return to Serie A action on Matchday 13, facing Pisa at the Arena Garibaldi Romeo Anconetani. Kick-off is scheduled for Sunday 30 November at 15:00 CET.

The Nerazzurri arrive in fourth place, level with Bologna on 24 points. So far this season, Inter Milan have secured eight wins, scoring 26 goals and conceding 13.

Head-to-head history 

The Serie A history between Pisa and Inter Milan unfolds in distinct phases, though the numbers today lean heavily toward the Nerazzurri.

Inter Milan have won each of the last five league meetings with the Tuscan side, the most recent on 3 March 1991, decided by a goal from Nicola Berti.

Before that run, the balance was far more even:

• 3 Inter Milan wins
• 3 draws
• 3 Pisa wins across the first nine encounters.

In first-half-of-season matchups, Inter Milan also boast a strong record: six positive results in seven matches (three wins and three draws). The only defeat dates back to 1 November 1987.

Today, Inter Milan could also reach a symbolic milestone: becoming only the second team after Juventus to score 30+ goals against Pisa in Serie A.
They currently sit at 29 goals in fourteen meetings — an average of more than two per game.

Inter Milan under Chivu: key numbers

Inter Milan boast the highest average of completed passes in Serie A, with 475 per match. Only Como keep slightly higher possession, while the Nerazzurri hold an impressive 60% average, emphasising their grip on tempo and territory.

By contrast, Pisa sit bottom in this metric with just 38% possession.

In the air, Inter Milan are equally dangerous:

5 headed goals, joint-top with Cremonese.

Squad depth is reflected in goal distribution too:

11 different Inter Milan players have scored in Serie A so far — a league-leading figure shared only with Bologna and Juventus.

Lautaro Martínez: the Captain’s records

Today’s trip to Pisa could bring another milestone for Lautaro Martínez.

The Inter Milan captain has scored against 28 different opponents in Serie A and could become the first modern-era player to reach 29, a tally he currently shares with Ciro Immobile.

He also leads Serie A for attempts in the opening 30 minutes of matches, with 18 shots taken inside the first half-hour.

Calhanoglu and Thuram on target

Hakan Calhanoglu’s 2025 impact is underlined by his numbers:

Six league goals in the calendar year, second only to Lautaro among Inter Milan players.

He has been especially effective away from home:

Three goals on the road, the club’s joint-best figure.

His precision, confidence and long-range threat remain essential for Inter Milan.

Marcus Thuram, meanwhile, continues his trend of punishing newly promoted sides:

Five goals in his last eight matches against teams rising from Serie B.

He also scored in Inter Milan’s most recent away game vs a newly promoted side — Parma on 5 April.

His ability to stretch defences and link play makes him one of Chivu’s most dangerous weapons.

The Opposition: Pisa

Pisa, coached by Alberto Gilardino, sit 16th on 10 points, with one win and seven draws. They have scored 10 goals and conceded 16.
