Lautaro Martinez Leads Inter for Bologne – Inter at 18h
Bologne – Inter arrives at 18h with both sides carrying absences, but Inter can still count on Lautaro Martinez. The forward is available to lead a team missing several regulars, while Bologne also go in without key names.
Martinez Stays in Inter’s Frame
Martinez has 17 goals this season, which keeps him at the center of Inzaghi’s plan despite the losses around him. Inter are also without Thuram, who has 13 goals, along with Calhanoglu, Dumfries and Akanji.
Inzaghi is expected to use a 3-5-2 formation, with Esposito set to support Martinez. That gives Inter a clear attacking reference even with Thuram out, and it fits a side that has the most prolific attack in the championship.
Bologne Bring Lucumi Back
Bologne are missing Cambiaghi, Casale, Vitik and Orsolini, but Lucumi returns after suspension. Vincenzo Italiano’s probable side is Skorupski, Joao Mario, Lucumi, Heggem, Miranda, Freuler, Moro, Bernardeschi or Orsolini, Ferguson, Rowe and Castro.
The Inter probable lineup is Martinez, Bisseck, Acerbi, Bastoni, Luis Henrique, Diouf, Sucic, Mkhitaryan, Cocchi, Esposito and Lautaro. Dimarco is unavailable, despite being elected best player in Serie A this season, which adds another absence to a squad already short on options.
For Bologne, the return of Lucumi gives Italiano one defensive piece back as the club prepares for a demanding league assignment. Inter’s edge still runs through Martinez, and the selection choices on both benches will shape how much room he gets at 18h.
