There is no denying that Simone Inzaghi’s Inter side are back in form and Matchday 12’s Serie A match at home to Sampdoria is a great opportunity to continue climbing up the table.
The Nerazzurri got a dramatic late victory against Fiorentina on Matchday 11 and a game at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza against a struggling Sampdoria side is exactly what the coach would have wanted to maintain the momentum.
Inter are still down in seventh coming into this game but they are actually only three points behind Lazio in third place, showing how tight the Champions League battle could be this season.
Inter v Sampdoria: Predicted Serie A line-ups
The Nerazzurri could well have Romelu Lukaku back in Serie A action after his lengthy injury lay-off which will be a big boost for Inzaghi. Marcelo Brozovic still appears to have no known return date from his thigh injury, whilst Roberto Gagliardini is also a doubt.
Inzaghi may need to rotate the squad as they face Viktoria Plzen in midweek in the Champions League.
Sampdoria are without Jeison Murillo, Manuel De Luca and Harry Winks for this trip to Lombardia.
Inter predicted XI v Sampdoria (3-5-2): Onana; Bastoni, De Vrij, Skriniar; Gosens, Calhanoglu, Asllani, Barella, Dumfries; Lautaro, Lukaku.
Sampdoria predicted XI v Inter (4-4-2): Audero; Augello, Colley, Ferrari, Bereszynski; Djuricic, Villar, Rincon, Leris; Gabbiadini, Caputo.
