Inter Milan is preparing to face Arsenal in their upcoming Champions League match on Wednesday.
Inter enters this game on the back of a 3-0 Serie A win over Empoli, dominating with 78% possession and 15 shots on goal.
Davide Frattesi scored twice, and Lautaro Martínez added another goal. Inter’s recent matches have featured plenty of goals, with a total of 22 in their last six games, 16 of which were scored by Inter.
Arsenal, meanwhile, aims to bounce back from a narrow 1-0 loss to Newcastle in their latest Premier League fixture. In that game, Arsenal held 64% possession and made 10 attempts, though only one was on target. Mikel Arteta’s team has netted nine times in their last six outings, averaging 1.5 goals per game.
For Inter, coach Simone Inzaghi has most of his squad available except Carlos Augusto, sidelined with a muscle injury.
The likely lineup for Inter in a 3-5-2 formation includes Yann Sommer, Benjamin Pavard, Stefan de Vrij, Alessandro Bastoni, Matteo Darmian, Nicolò Barella, Piotr Zielinski, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Federico Dimarco, Marcus Thuram, and Lautaro Martínez.
Arsenal is expected to go with a 4-2-3-1 formation, featuring David Raya, Thomas Partey, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhães, Jurrien Timber, Declan Rice, Mikel Merino, Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Martinelli, and Kai Havertz.
Prediction
Both teams are in solid form, and while each side may find the net, a close match could lead to a draw. A 1-1 scoreline seems likely, with an expectation of fewer than 3.5 goals overall.
