Inter Milan is gearing up for a challenging start to their Serie A campaign at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, where they have historically struggled. Under the guidance of coach Simone Inzaghi, the defending champions face Genoa, and they have yet to secure a win at this venue, managing only four points in four matches against both Genoa and Sampdoria.
Inzaghi is prepared to field his strongest lineup for this crucial clash. The attacking trio will feature the talented pairing of Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez, often dubbed the “Thu-La”. The midfield remains consistent with Barella, Calhanoglu, and Mkhitaryan, while the back line will include Acerbi and Bastoni, with Darmian and Dimarco on the flanks.
A notable inclusion is Yann Aurel Bisseck, who is set to take his place as the right centre-back following an impressive pre-season. The German defender showcased his skills in various friendly matches, earning the trust of the coach. Benjamin Pavard will be starting on the bench for this match.
The confirmed lineup sees Andre Onana in goal, and the defensive unit composed of Acerbi and Bastoni. Inter’s midfield is well-stocked, providing both creativity and stability, while the forward line looks poised to find the net.
The only players unavailable for selection are Piotr Zielinski, who is expected to return for the home match against Lecce, and Stefan de Vrij, alongside Buchanan, who is also sidelined with an injury. With expectations high, Inter Milan is determined to make a strong statement in their opening fixture of the season.
