Inter vs Spezia Serie A: team news, tactics and prediction
Inzaghi has a decision to make as Bastoni returns to the lineup for this match. Dimarco has been excellent in pre-season, so he could start over Gosens to help Inter with his constant supply from the left. Also, Dimarco can help Inzaghi more in defense as the Nerazzurri have been vulnerable to counters so far. Bastoni return will help Inter as well as they make their usual back three.
Dragowski had an excellent game for Spezia in their first game as he managed to keep their lead intact. Inter will have to work hard to break their defense and Inzaghi can not use Mkhitaryan as he is suffering from his hamstring injury. Also, he might miss his first Milan derby as well since the injury is serious.
Prediction
The Nerazzurri should start their home run with a positive note, but Inter will have to be careful in transition.
Inter Milan 3-1 Spezia
