Inter Milan and Parma meet tonight in a Serie A title decider. A win can secure Cristi Chivu’s side the title with three legs to go before the end of the current season. The game is played today, from 20.45.
In the context in which it will prevail tonight, Inter Milan has the chance to celebrate with its own supporters.
From the information coming from Inter’s training camp, the starting formula for the next match is already taking shape. Yann Sommer would defend the goal, and in front of him the defense line would consist of Akanji, Acerbi and Bastoni. In the middle, on the flanks would be Dumfries and Dimarco, while the central area would be covered by Barella, Zielinski and Mkhitaryan.
In attack, Inter would bet on the pair of Marcus Thuram – Lautaro Martinez, the Argentine returning from injury and entering the rhythm of the team again. His return puts him, according to the media in Italy, ahead of Pio Esposito in the fight for the title.
Parma is not inferior
Chivu’s boys’ rival wants to continue the positive record. Carlos Cuesta, Parma’s technician, does not plan major changes at team level. Parma will enter the field, in the confrontation with Inter, with the same formula from the previous stage. The same Suzuki will defend the goal, the defense being kept intact by Circati, Troilo and Ndiaye.
Delprato will stay on the right side of the defense, and Valeri will be on the left. Nicolussi Caviglia, Bernabe and Keita will play in the midfield, and Strefezza and Pellegrino will be in the attack of the guests. The match will be conducted at the center by referee Bonacina.
Probable Teams:
Inter Milan (3-5-2): Sommer – Akanji, Acerbi, Bastoni – Dumfries, Barella, Zielinski, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco – Thuram, Lautaro Martinez;
Parma (3-5-2): Suzuki – Circati, Troilo, Ndiaye – Delprato, Bernabe, Nicolussi Caviglia, Keita, Valeri – Strefezza, Pellegrino.
Simple calculation for Inter: how they can become champions in the match with Parma
The situation in Serie A was clarified after Napoli’s draw, 0-0 at Como’s ground, in the 35th round. In this context, Inter have moved to 9 points at the top and are within reach of winning the title, needing only a draw to become champions for the 21st time.
Inter’s last great success in Italy, championship plus cup, dates back to the 2009-2010 season, when Cristi Chivu was also in the team.
In parallel with the fight in the championship, Inter also has the final of the Italian Cup to play. The team qualified after an intense course in the semi-final, and in the last act they will face Lazio. The final is scheduled for the Stadio Olimpico, on May 12, from 22:00, but Inter will play away, a detail that may count in the trophy equation.
