Benfica-Inter, the probable formations

Benfica-Inter, the probable formations

The Champions League quarterfinals begin with the challenge between Benfica and Inter. Kickoff at 9 p.m. at the Da Luz. The Nerazzurri, after the last disappointing performances in the league, are looking for redemption in the top European competition, against the Portuguese, defeated by Porto in the last round of the championship.

Schmidt cannot count on Bah, injured, and Otamendi, disqualified: Gilberto and Morato will take their place. Confirmation for the former Joao Mario on the three-quarter with Rafa Silva and Aursnes behind the only point Ramos.

Inzaghi still has to do without Skriniar and Calhanoglu: Darmian will be in the Slovakian’s place in defense, while Brozovic will have space in the director’s booth. On the outsides will act Dumfries and Dimarco. In attack, Dzeko seems to have won the ballot with Lukaku to partner Lautaro.

Likely lineups.

BENFICA (4-2-3-1): Vlachodimos; Gilberto, Antonio Silva, Morato, Grimaldo; Florentino, Chiquinho; Joao Mario, Rafa Silva, Aursnes; Ramos. All. Schmidt

INTER (3-5-2): Onana; Darmian, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Brozovic, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Dzeko, Lautaro. All. Inzaghi
