-------------------------------
Venezia
Eusebio Di Francesco has a new injury concern hampering his preparations ahead of his side’s latest fixture. The Venezia manager might be bereft of the services of as many as five first-team players vs Inter Milan on Sunday.
Gaetano Oristanio might be the latest absentee after picking up a knock against Empoli last week. The former Inter Milan attacker will require a late fitness test to determine his availability. However, Michael Svoboda, Alfred Duncan, Issa Doumbia and Domen Crnigoj remain on the sidelines.
Filip Stankovic will take his spot between the sticks, with Venezia lining up in a 3-5-2 formation in front of him vs Inter Milan on Sunday. The central defensive unit should feature Jay Idzes, Marin Sverko, and Giorgio Altare. Francesco Zampano and Andrea Carboni will likely start as the two wing-backs.
The duo will provide width in the final third while dropping deep during the defensive phases. As for the midfield unit, Gianluca Busio, Hans Nicolussi Caviglia, and Mikael Egill Ellertsson will look to keep things tight in the middle of the park. Finally, John Yeboah will likely pair up with Joel Pohjanpalo in the offensive unit if Oristanio is not fit enough to start.
Inter Milan
Like his counterpart in the Venezia dugout, Simone Inzaghi has a new issue to worry about ahead of the trip to the Piero Luigi Penzo Stadium. The Inter Milan manager will be without four first-team players on Sunday.
Yann Bisseck is the latest absentee after picking up a muscle injury in the Supercoppa Italiana final. The German defender has joined Raffaele Di Gennaro (hand), Francesco Acerbi (hamstring), Valentin Carboni (knee), and Martin Satriano (ACL) on the sidelines. However, there is some good news, with Marcus Thuram and Benjamin Pavard fit and available.
Yann Sommer will be the automatic pick between the sticks, with Inter Milan lining up in a 3-5-2 formation in front of him vs Venezia on Sunday. The central defensive unit will feature Benjamin Pavard, Stefan de Vrij, and Alessandro Bastoni. Denzel Dumfries and Federico Dimarco will be the two wing-backs.
The duo will provide width in the final third, taking the creative charge from the flanks. As for the midfield unit, Nicolo Barella, Kristjan Asllani, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan will form a fluid partnership in the middle of the park. Finally, there is no looking past Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram as the two strikers.
Venezia possible starting lineup:
Stankovic; Idzes, Sverko, Altare; Zampano, Busio, Nicolussi Caviglia, Ellertsson, Carboni; Yeboah, Pohjanpalo
Inter Milan possible starting lineup:
Sommer; Pavard, De Vrij, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Asllani, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Martinez, Thuram
Venezia vs Inter Milan Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
Inter have six wins from their last nine meetings with Venezia, losing twice.
Inter are on a five-game winning streak in Serie A and are unbeaten in 12 games since a 2-1 loss to AC Milan in the derby in September.
Venezia have failed to win four of their most recent five home games, losing twice, since November.
Prediction: Venezia 0-3 Inter Milan
As Inter will be fired up to prove a point, Venezia could be presented with a formidable task at Stadio Penzo. The Nerazzurri almost always bounce back from defeat with a win, so expect Simone Inzaghi's side to prevail.
