Inter, five lineup changes to upend Bodo

This evening, at 9 p.m., the return match of the Champions League playoffs between Inter and Bodo/Glimt takes the stage at San Siro, a challenge that promises to be decisive and with very high tension. The Nerazzurri arrive at the appointment after the heavy defeat suffered in Norway, on the synthetic field of the Arctic Circle, where they lost 3-1 and, most importantly, their captain Lautaro Martinez to injury.

With Lautaro and Calhanoglu out, Chivu in attack is relying on Thuram and Pio Esposito, who are called upon to shoulder the task of overturning the disadvantage and dragging the team towards the Champions round of 16. In midfield, the Barella-Zielinski-Mkhitaryan trio is confirmed, capable of controlling the game, dictating the tempo and providing the geometry needed to serve the two strikers.

On the side lanes, the right will be entrusted to Luis Henrique, ahead of Darmian, with Dumfries back among the call-ups and ready to provide freshness and depth. On the left, however, Dimarco will play, replacing Carlos Augusto, a starter in the first leg in Norway. The tactical set-up appears clear: a team projected forward, which will have to push from the first minute and try to capitalize on every opportunity.

The Nerazzurri are therefore called to a feat that does not allow drops in concentration: they will have to win at least 2-0 to overturn the result or score more goals in case of conceded goals, with the San Siro crowd ready to push them towards an evening that promises very strong emotions. A match that mixes tactics, heart and courage, where Thuram and Pio Esposito will be the protagonists of the comeback, and where every ball could become decisive.
