Team News

Caretaker boss Stefano Vecchi will be missing center back Miranda, left back Cristian Ansaldi, and striker/captain Mauro Icardi due to injuries.

Key Man

One area that might just be pinpointed by a new manager as an area that needs improvement is the front line.  Outside of Perisic and captain Icardi, they have little help there.  In fact, Italian converted winger Eder has been stationed there in the captain's absence. He has six goals in 32 matches, but that's far too little if Inter are truly going to get back to the heights that they were used to back in the last decade or so.  Eder could just be playing for his job at Inter Milan in this match, so a performance from him is desperately needed- for his own sake.

Team Form

Inter Milan have a win and four losses in their last five matches.  A 5-4 away defeat to Fiorentina came before a 0-1 loss at home to Napoli and then a loss by the same score away to Genoa.  They then lost again at the San Siro to Sassuolo 1-2 before getting an away win over Lazio last weekend 1-3.

Expected Line-up: 4-2-3-1

Inter Milan likely XI

  • Goalkeeper:Handanovic

  • Defenders:D'Ambrosio, Murillo, Andreolli, Nagatomo

  • Defensive Midfielders:Gagliardini, Medel

  • Attacking Midfielders:Candreva, Brozovic, Perisic

  • Forwards:Eder

Team News

Luigi Delneri will be unable to call upon center back Samir, right midfielder Davide Faraoni, or center midfielders Assane Gnoukouri and Seko Fofana due to injuries.  Goalkeeper Samuele Perisan has been called up to the Italian u-20 squad, and center back Danilo and right winger Rodrigo de Paul will miss out with suspensions stemming from red cards last week.

Key Man

French striker Cyril Thereau, now 34 years old, is no stranger to scoring goals.  He's made a career out of it at the likes of Anderlecht and Chievo in the past, and he's done it at Udinese this season.  He was red hot through the early to middle rounds, but he has since cooled a little bit.  However, he scored a goal last week before his teammates lost their heads.  That marked his 12th goal of the season, an impressive total for an aging star on an average side.

Team Form

Udinese have two draws, two losses, and a win in their last five matches.  A 2-1 home win over Cagliari came before a 4-0 away loss to Bologna.  A 1-1 draw at home to Atalanta was followed by a 1-0 loss away to Crotone.  Last weekend, they got a 1-1 home draw with Sampdoria.

Expected Line-up: 4-4-2

Udinese likely XI

  • Goalkeeper:Scuffet

  • Defenders:Gabriel Silva, Angella, Parpinel, Felipe

  • Midfielders:Hallfredsson, Balic, Ewandro, Jankto

  • Forwards:Thereau, Zapata

Inter Milan have gone through three managers, the highest of heights, and the lowest of lows this season on their way to either a finish in seventh or eighth. No matter what happens on Sunday, they will not be making it into European football, and they are going to be forced to see rivals AC Milan turn up in Europa League as well. This shouldn\'t do for Inter, but it\'s going to have to be for now. They\'ve just not been good enough this season, and this match could just embody that. It should be academic to beat a team that they seemingly \'always\' beat, but they\'ve found it very tough to win all season long. A win here, coupled with investment, might just be enough to attract a big name manager with a point to prove.
This is the sixth consecutive season that Inter have failed to finish inside the top three, and next year will mark the fifth straight season with Champions League football.
