Inter Milan Hosts RB Leipzig in Crucial Champions League Match

Inter Milan is set to face RB Leipzig in a pivotal UEFA Champions League group stage match on Tuesday, November 26, at the San Siro in Milan. The match kicks off at 21:00 CET (20:00 GMT) and will be crucial for both teams as they vie for a spot in the round-of-16.

Inter captain Lautaro Martinez is expected to return to the starting lineup after missing the team’s 5-0 win over Verona due to flu-like symptoms. He will likely flank Mehdi Taremi in attack, bolstering Inter’s offensive capabilities. Hakan Calhanoglu, who recovered from a slight injury sustained during the international break, will also be part of Simone Inzaghi’s midfield trio, alongside Nicolò Barella and Piotr Zielinski.

The Nerazzurri will rely on Stefan De Vrij as a centre-back due to Francesco Acerbi’s new injury. Federico Dimarco is also certain to start as a left wing-back after being fully rested against Verona. Other key players, including Yan Sommer, Alessandro Bastoni, and Barella, are set to start their second consecutive match.

Inter remains unbeaten in the Champions League and is one of the only two teams yet to concede a goal. A win against RB Leipzig would significantly enhance their chances of direct access to the round-of-16. The German outfit, meanwhile, will field a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Peter Gulacsi in goal and Andrej Kramarić potentially leading the attack, although the latest lineups suggest Alexander Sørloth or Christopher Nkunku might be preferred up front.

The match will be available to watch live in the UK on TNT Sports 5 and can be streamed on Paramount+ in the United States.
