Inter v Fiorentina: Chivu and Pioli’s likely line-ups for midweek | OneFootball

At 8:45 PM, the match between Inter and Fiorentina will take place at San Siro, valid for the 9th round of Serie A. Here are the probable lineups.

Inter-Fiorentina: Chivu considers Carlos Augusto and Pio Esposito, while Pioli plans a rotation

On the eve of the match, neither coach attended the customary press conference. In fact, the Romanian's press conference was canceled due to mourning after the unfortunate incident involving Josep Martinez yesterday morning.

Christian Chivu is considering some changes just hours before tonight's game. Sommer will undoubtedly be in goal (Josep Martinez is not called up). In defense, Acerbi may be rested, to be replaced by Stefan De Vrij, with Akanji and Bastoni completing the trio. There may be a high-profile exclusion in midfield, as Chivu is considering Carlos Augusto on the left flank instead of Dimarco, with Barella, Calhanoglu, and Sucic in the center, and Dumfries on the right. In attack, given Thuram's latest absence, there is an open contest between Pio Esposito and Bonny to play alongside Lautaro Martinez, with the former slightly favored.

Pioli, after the draw in Bologna in the final minutes, needs to shake up the squad to rise from the ashes of the relegation zone. De Gea will be in goal. In defense, Ranieri, Marì, and Pongracic are the favorites for a starting spot, but keep an eye on Comuzzo, who is eager to play. In midfield, Dodò and Gosens will operate on the wings, while Fagioli, Nicolussi Caviglia, and Mandragora will play in the center. They are in open competition with Ndour and Fazzini, but the starting lineup will only be decided shortly before the match. In attack, Moise Kean will likely be joined by Gudmundsson, but watch out for the possible inclusion of Edin Dzeko, who had an excellent half-hour at the Franchi on Sunday afternoon.
