Mon Dec 16 18:50:00 UTC 2024: ## Inzaghi Names Strong Inter Lineup for Crucial Lazio Clash
**Rome, Italy** – Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi has selected a full-strength starting XI for tonight’s crucial Serie A match against Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico. The top-of-the-table clash, kicking off at 20:45 CET, sees both teams level on points, with Inter holding a game in hand.
Inzaghi has opted for Emil Yann Bisseck in defense alongside the familiar pairing of Stefan de Vrij and Alessandro Bastoni. This decision comes due to injuries to Benjamin Pavard and Francesco Acerbi. Denzel Dumfries will start at right wing-back, preferred over Matteo Darmian. The midfield will see the usual trio of Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Hakan Calhanoglu, and Nicolo Barella, while the attack features the strike partnership of Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram. Yann Sommer will continue his streak of starting every game for Inter this season.
Lazio, under manager Baroni, will field a team featuring Provedel in goal and a front line of Isaksen, Pedro, and Zaccagni. Castellanos is suspended for Lazio.
The match promises to be a decisive encounter in the Serie A title race. The full starting lineups are as follows:
**Lazio (4-2-3-1):** Provedel; Marusic, Patric, Gila, Tavares; Rovella, Guendouzi; Isaksen, Pedro, Zaccagni; Noslin.
**Inter (3-5-2):** Yann Sommer; Yann Bisseck, Stefan de Vrij, Alessandro Bastoni; Denzel Dumfries, Nicolo Barella, Hakan Calhanoglu, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Federico Dimarco; Marcus Thuram, Lautaro Martinez.
