Inter with Barça to stay in the running, Naples from Ajax for the trio
It is true that the whole second round is still missing, the fact is that the one at Meazza already knows from inside or outside in terms of second place. Inter vs Barcelona, both paired at 3 and both beaten by a Bayern apparently on the way to a comfortable qualification to the second round. To play the other there are two teams that go through opposite moments. On the one hand, the bleak situation of an eighth Inter in Serie A, where he has recovered from three defeats in four games: with Inzaghi’s position increasingly in the balance, if he loses again tonight he may not have further beaches. On the other hand there is a Barça first in the Liga with 6 wins and a draw, with a Lewandowski with 12 goals in 9 seasons: games that the summer all in on the market, sumptuous despite the chasm debt, at the moment standing, what fruit for recover everything with interest and avoid bankruptcy. Xavi has several absentees – Araujo, Kounde, Bellerin, de Jong and Depay – and a doubt about a three or four defense, but the interpreters should be firm: Ter Stegen, Sergi Roberto, Christensen, Eric Garcia and Marcos Alonso, Gavi, Pedri and Busquets, Dembelé, Lewandowski and Rafinha. Almost pure lineup for Inzaghi: Onana announces at the door, Skriniar-De Vrij-Bastoni behind, Mkhitaryan-Calhanoglu-Barella by half. In front Dzeko undermines the duo Correa-Lautaro, On the outside instead Dimarco and Darmian they have an advantage over Dumfries and Gosens.
Opposite situation for the Naples, first both in Serie A and in the group and who can close the first leg with full points: there is to win on the field of oneAjax stammering in the Eredivise but that overwhelmed Rangers in the Champions League and lost to Liverpool. With Osimhen ko, Spalletti takes the eternal ballot with him Simeone-Raspadori, solomonically solved by him: both are owners, one for the first hour and the other for the last half hour. Holder A should be the Cholito, along with Lozano and Kvaratskelia. To the left the place is played by Olivera and Mario Rui, for the rest Meret, Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani and Minjae and full back Anguissa-Lobotka-Zielinski. At Ajax, given the difficulties in the league, Schreuder considers going from 4-2-3-1 to 4-3-3 in front Tadic, Kudus and Bergwijn.
