Official Starting Lineups – Juventus Vs Inter Milan: Mehdi Taremi & Francesco Acerbi Start | OneFootball

Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi has decided to start Mehdi Taremi in attack against Juventus. This evening’s Serie A matchday 25 clash kicks off at 20.45 CET.

This evening, Inter take on Juventus in the second Derby d’Italia of the season. The last time that the Nerazzurri and the Bianconeri met, it was a wild 4-4 draw.

For Inter, this evening is a chance to go ahead of Napoli in the table after the league leaders slipped up away to Lazio yesterday.

Meanwhile, Juventus can go ahead of the Biancocelesti in fourth spot in the table after yesterday’s result.

Moreover, the Derby d’Italia is always a charged match owing to the historic and bitter rivalry between the two teams.

Therefore, it is little surprise to see Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi name a strong starting eleven.

However, there is one notable name absent from the teamsheet in attack.

Mehdi Taremi Starts In Attack – Marcus Thuram On The Bench

Striker Marcus Thuram is not quite fit to start for Inter. The Frenchman has yet to shake off an ankle knock that he suffered in last Thursday’s 2-1 win over Fiorentina.

Therefore, Thuram is only on the bench for this evening’s match.

Accordingly, it is Mehdi Taremi who starts for Inter. The Iranian international leads the line alongside Nerazzurri captain Lautaro Martinez.

Otherwise, though, there are few surprises.

Firstly, Yann Sommer continues his run of starting every match in Serie A this season.

Then, in defense Francesco Acerbi gets the nod ahead of Stefan de Vrij after his excellent performance against Fiorentina last Monday.

Flanking Acerbi in the back three are Benjamin Pavard and Alessandro Bastoni.

Meanwhile, in midfield it’s the usual trio of Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Hakan Calhanoglu, and Nicolo Barella.

Lastly, on the flanks Federico Dimarco and Denzel Dumfries start, having both been absent against Fiorentina due to illness and suspension respectively.
