2026-2027 Serie A: Inter vs. Parma, Probable Lineups

Inter and Parma face off at 6 p.m. on Saturday in a match for the sixth round of the Serie A season. The reigning Italian champions, who remain undefeated, drew 2-2 with Roma before the international break and are tied with the Giallorossi at the top of the standings. The Crociati are led by new head coach Alberto Gilardino, who took over for Carlos Cuesta; they currently sit in 15th place with 4 points.

Chivu must also keep the Champions League in mind and will need to play his cards right, even though he’ll have to do without the injured Curtis Jones. Barella, Calhanoglu, and Mkhitaryan are expected to start in midfield, with Diouf and Dimarco on the wings. There could be some surprises up front: Thuram is expected to start from the 1st minute, paired with either Lautaro Martinez (though Chivu must assess his condition) or Pio Esposito.

Gilardino makes his debut with Romero as the lone striker, supported by Touré and Lontani. Keita and Sierro will play in midfield, with Britschgi and Valeri as fullbacks. In front of Corvi are Delprato, Troilo, and Diego Carlos.
