Inter-Udinese, Inzaghi with Arnautovic: probables and TV times

Bologna, 29 March 2025 – Important championship crossroads on the Serie A football Sunday. Three matches to be enjoyed with Inter busy at home with Udinese, and with an eye on Maradona, where the Napoli hosts the Milan, and at Franchi, where the Viola awaits Atalanta: Scudetto battle still open. The Italian champions are preparing to experience another tour de force as they will soon also face the Coppa Italia semi-final against Milan, but first there is the difficult Udinese, who had a great central phase of the season before slowing down in the last matches. Inzaghi will not want distractions and will try to continue the march to defend the three points advantage over Napoli and the six over Atalanta, beaten at the Gewiss by the Nerazzurri. Without Lautaro, however, because the muscular discomfort has not yet been resolved and the coach will have to find an attacking partner for Thuram.  

Probable lineups

Simone Inzaghi must do without Lautaro Martinez, a muscular problem, as well as Dumfries and Zielinski, also with muscular injuries, to which Alessandro Bastoni is added to the suspension. Space then for Pavard, Acerbi and Carlos Augusto in defense, on the outside Darmian and Dimarco return, while in the middle classic choices with Barella, Calhanoglu and Mkhitaryan. Up front, without the bull, it could be Arnautovic's turn to support Thuram. In Udinese no Thauvin still out due to physical problems, so Runjaic could choose Ekkelenkamp as Lucca's offensive partner. In midfield Lovric, Karlstrom and Payero in the middle with Ehizibue and Kamara on the outside. Defensive set-up with Ehizibue, Bijol and Solet. INTER (3-5-2): Sommer; Pavard, Acerbi, Carlos Augusto; Darmian, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Arnautovic. Coach Inzaghi UDINESE (3-5-2): Okoye; Kristensen, Bijol, Solet; Ehizibue, Lovric, Karlstrom, Payero, Kamara; Ekkelenkamp, ​​Lucca. All. Runjaic.
