Kike Pérez has given away at least two fouls in each of his last five games, picking up two yellow cards along the way.

He leads Venezia in fouls committed, averaging 1.70 per 90 minutes in Serie A.

All three of his yellow cards this season have come against stronger teams: Napoli, Lazio and Milan.

Nicolò Barella could be one of the players he comes up against in midfield, and he's been fouled in six of his last seven games across all competitions.

He's involved in plenty of duels for Inter, averaging almost seven per game this season.

Luca Pairetto has averaged almost five yellow cards per game across the last two Serie A seasons and isn't afraid to book players, which isn't great news for Pérez.

Jesper Karlström has already picked up half as many yellow cards as he did in all of last season, despite playing just eight games.

All three yellow cards came after fouls he committed, and the midfielder is averaging at least one foul per game.

He could have a tough time dealing with Mandela Keita, who wins more fouls than anyone else at Parma and has the second-highest number for fouls won in Serie A.

Keita is averaging three fouls won per 90 minutes this season and has been fouled at least four times in each of Parma's last three home games.

When these teams last met in April, Karlström was booked for fouling Mandela Keita, the very same player he's likely to face again.

Davide Massa is another reason Karlström could find himself in trouble this Wednesday.

The referee has averaged 4.5 yellow cards per game across the last two Serie A seasons and doesn't need much of an excuse to reach for his pocket.

Inter came from behind at the weekend to beat Fiorentina, showing real resilience to score the equaliser and the winning goal in added time. 

They deserved that victory too, registering an xG of 3.15 from 33 shots and conceding just seven shots (0.24 xG).

Inter have won seven of their eight matches in Serie A this term, only dropping points against a very capable Roma side in a 2-2 draw. 

They’ve scored 23 goals across these games, which is really what sets them apart from the rest of the division - not many sides in Serie A, particularly those at the foot of the table, can match this scoring power.

They travel to take on a Venezia side who sit rock bottom of Serie A, having lost seven of their eight matches - with the exception of a very lucky home win over Napoli in which they conceded an xG of 2.36 and 10 shots on target.

Inter have won each of the last five head to head meetings between the sides, most recently beating Venezia 5-1 in the Coppa Italia last year with a very notable gap in the underlying numbers of that game (3.20 xG - 0.15).

Monza may have only won two of their eight games in Serie A this season, but they’ve found the back of the net in all of those matches - including games against Lazio and Inter.

Monza have scored 15 goals in total across their eight games in Serie A (1.87 per game), only five sides in the division have scored more goals than the home side here. They’ve even outscored Napoli (13) so far this term, with eight of these goals notably coming across their three home matches.

Napoli have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last four matches, conceding 3+ goals in three of these games. The appointment of Allegri looks more and more bizarre with each passing week, and it wouldn’t surprise me to see the players down tools on the coach soon.
