Inter Milan Hosts Venezia in Crucial Serie A Match: Lineups, Form, and Key Players
Inter Milan is set to face Venezia in their eleventh league game of the Serie A season on Sunday, November 3, at the San Siro stadium. The match kicks off at 20:45 CET and will be broadcast exclusively on DAZN, as well as available for streaming on various platforms including Paramount+ in the USA and OneFootball in the UK.
The Nerazzurri come into this match with strong form, having won seven of their last eight games in the league and Champions League. They currently have 21 points and boast the second-best attack in the league with 24 goals scored. Lautaro MartÃnez, who recently became the highest-scoring foreign player in Inter’s history, will lead the attack alongside Marcus Thuram. MartÃnez has an impressive record against newly-promoted sides, scoring 12 goals in his last 12 matches against such teams.
Venezia, on the other hand, has had a challenging start to the season following their promotion via the play-offs. Despite their struggles, they have shown recent improvement, including a comeback win over Udinese and a draw against Monza. Venezia will be without Bjarki Bjarkason due to injury, but they will feature Inter loanees Filip Stankovic in goal and Gaetano Oristanio in attack.
The probable lineups for Inter include Yann Sommer in goal, a defensive trio of Benjamin Pavard, Stefan de Vrij, and Alessandro Bastoni, and a midfield that features Piotr Zielinski, Nicolo Barella, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan. Federico Dimarco and Denzel Dumfries will start as wingbacks. For Venezia, Stankovic will be in goal, with a defensive lineup that includes Altare, Svoboda, and Idzes, and an attack led by Oristanio and Pohjanpalo.
The match will be refereed by Maria Ferrieri Caputi, with VAR officials Marini and Chiffi. Inter coach Simone Inzaghi has opted not to make significant changes to the team that won against Empoli, indicating confidence in the current lineup despite upcoming matches against Arsenal and Napoli.
