The Serie A tie at Stadio Paolo Mazza on Thursday will see hosts SPAL facing visitors Inter Milan. We have the latest player updates and predicted teams line ups.
SPAL will be hoping to bounce back here after the 2-0 Serie A losing effort in their last game against Genoa. It looks as if SPAL could opt for a 4-4-2 formation, utilising Karlo Letica, Arkadiusz Reca, Kevin Bonifazi, Francesco Vicari, Thiago Rangel Cionek, Georgi Tunjov, Simone Missiroli, Bryan Dabo, Gabriel Strefezza, Sergio Floccari and Andrea Petagna.
Mohamed Fares (Thigh Problems), Mattia Valoti (Adductor problems), Ervin Zukanovic (Ankle problems) and Etrit Berisha (Hand fracture) will be missing for SPAL boss Luigi Di Biagio.
How SPAL might line up for the game against Inter Milan
Inter Milan will go into the encounter following on from a 3-1 Serie A win vs Torino in their last outing. We reckon that Nerazzurri will likely play in a 3-4-2-1 formation, starting the game with Samir Handanovic, Stefan de Vrij, Alessandro Bastoni, Achraf Hakimi, Danilo D'Ambrosio, Marcelo Brozovic, Roberto Gagliardini, Ashley Young, Borja Valero, Alexis Sanchez and Lautaro Javier Martinez.
Inter boss Antonio Conte has to choose a team with limited availability. Romelu Lukaku (Tear in the abductor muscle), Nicolò Barella (Hamstring Injury), Matías Vecino (Knee Injury), Victor Moses (Muscle Injury) and Stefano Sensi (Biceps femoris muscle injury) are those who can’t be considered. Diego Godín cannot play in this game through suspension.
