Supercoppa Italiana: Inter vs Atalanta – probable line-ups and where to watch on TV | OneFootball

Simone Inzaghi and Gian Piero Gasperini are expected to make limited changes to their line-ups as Inter and Atalanta are set to face in the Supercoppa Italiana semifinal.

It kicks off at 20:00 CET (19:00 GMT) at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh.

The Nerazzurri coach is likely to use the same men he started in his side’s latest Serie A outings at Cagliari, especially with defenders Francesco Acerbi and Benjamin Pavard still unavailable.

It means Stefan De Vrij will once again lead the back-three, flanked by Yann Bisseck and Alessandro Bastoni.

Inter captain Lautaro Martinez will get the nod again alongside Marcus Thuram after returning to the scoresheet, while Nicolò Barella, Hakan Calhanoglu and Henrikh Mkhitaryan playing in the recurrent midfield trio.

Gasperini could make a significant change up front, according to Sky Sport Italia, as he considers giving Nicolò Zaniolo his first Atalanta start in a trident alongside Ademola Lookman and Charles De Ketelaere, with Mateo Retegui sidelined due to injury.

Odilon Kossounou should return to the starting XI and replace Berat Djimsiti in La Dea’s three-man defence.
