Serie A heavyweights Inter will take on Cremonese in a league fixture at the Stadio Giovanni Zini on Saturday.
Inter head into this fixture after a shock defeat to Empoli at home which might prompt them to adopt a cautious approach.
They are 13 points behind league leaders Napoli at the halfway stage and cannot afford to slip up any further if they are to keep their Scudetto hopes alive.
All eyes will be on Lautaro Martinez, as the striker has been involved in 11 goals in his last nine Serie A matches against promoted opponents, including one against Cremonese in the first meeting on 30 August.
On the other hand, the hosts are yet to win a match in Serie A this season and are languishing in the bottom spot with just eight points from 19 matches.
They are nine points away from safety and new manager Davide Ballardini has got a mountain to climb. Nonetheless, he has started hitting the right chords as Cremonese knocked out Napoli in the Coppa Italia and then held Bologna for a draw in Serie A.
