Overview
Inter Milan are going through an extremely difficult schedule when they continuously meet top teams such as Juventus, Arsenal and Napoli. However, the performance of coach Simone Inzaghi's team is quite good with 1 win and 2 draws. Overall, Inter are on a 10-match unbeaten streak in all competitions.
In the next match, Inter will visit Verona, a team that has been in poor form recently. Verona has lost 4/5 of their recent matches. In particular, the defense is the most worrying issue when they have conceded 15 goals in the last 5 matches, an average of 3 goals per match.
With 27 goals conceded, Verona is the worst defense in Serie A this season. And it will be a huge challenge for Verona when their opponent Inter Milan owns the second best attack this season. Inter's strikers have scored 26 goals after 12 matches, only behind Atalanta (31 goals).
Home ground is Verona's only advantage in the match against Inter. In terms of both form and class, Inter are completely superior. Inter are the earliest team to play in round 13 and a good result against Verona will help them put pressure on their rivals competing for the top spot.
In terms of head-to-head record, Inter Milan are unbeaten against Verona, with 22 wins and 3 draws from 25 matches. However, the Nerazzurri were held to a 2-2 draw at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi last season.
Human resources situation
Dailon Livramento could feature for Verona when he returns from suspension. However, Pawel Dawidowicz, Martin Frese and Domagoj Bradaric are out injured. Tengstedt will continue to lead the line, while Flavius Daniliuc is likely to replace Bradaric in defence.
On the other side of the front line, Hakan Calhanoglu and Carlos Augusto are out through injury. Piotr Zielinski could replace the Turkish midfielder, while Martinez and Thuram are expected to lead the attack.
Expected lineup:
Verona: Montipo, Tchatchoua, Magnani, Coppola, Daniliuc, Duda, Serdar, Lazovic, Harroui, Suslov, Tengstedt.
Inter Milan: Sommer, Bastoni, Acerbi, Pavard, Dimarco, Mkhitaryan, Zielinski, Barella, Dumfries, Thuram, Martinez.
