Simone Inzaghi is likely to field Inter in a 3-5-2 formation for their Serie A opener. The expected lineup includes goalkeeper Sommer, defenders Bisseck, Acerbi, and Bastoni. The midfield will be comprised of Darmian, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, and Dimarco, with Thuram and Lautaro leading the attack.
On the other hand, Genoa’s coach Alberto Gilardino is also expected to adopt a 3-5-2 formation. His probable starting eleven features goalkeeper Gollini and a backline including De Winter, Bani, and Vasquez. The midfield will see Zanoli, Frendrup, Badelj, Malinovskyi, and Martin, while Messias and Vitinha will be up front.
Inzaghi will have to navigate some injury concerns ahead of the match. “The preparation has been good, but we have had a few injuries. Everyone is back except for de Vrij. Zielinski will return for the match against Lecce,” the Inter boss confirmed during a press conference.
The highly anticipated clash between Genoa and Inter will kick off at the Stadio Ferraris in Genoa at 18:30 local time. Fans can catch the live action on Dazn.
