Chivu is set to rotate his Inter side ahead of the Arsenal tie, so punters should favour markets reflecting a tighter, less dominant Inter — consider backing a narrow Inter win or draw, Both Teams To Score, or Under 3.5 goals rather than large Inter handicaps; avoiding heavy lay of Inter -1 looks sensible given likely changes.
Chivu to Rotate for Udinese as Inter Juggle Serie A and Champions League
Cristian Chivu could reshuffle his Inter Milan lineup for the trip to Udinese as the club balances Serie A duty with a crucial Champions League test against Arsenal. The coach will hold final training in the morning before flying to Udine in the afternoon and, as before, no pre-match press conference is scheduled. Fatigue and the tight schedule leave several selection doubts.
Defensive Choices and Returnees
Manuel Akanji is a candidate to be rested, which would open a place for either Stefan de Vrij or Francesco Acerbi. Yann Bisseck is expected to return on the right of a three-man defence, while Alessandro Bastoni could remain on the left, giving Chivu a mix of freshness and continuity at the back.
Midfield Decisions
The key debate centres on the holding midfield role. Nicolò Barella is an option to operate in front of the defence, with Petar Sucic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan providing support ahead of him. Piotr Zielinski is likely to be kept fresh for the Arsenal tie and could sit out in Udine.
Attack and Other Starters
Luis Henrique, Federico Dimarco and Lautaro Martínez are expected to start. Chivu appears ready to preserve certain starters for Europe while fielding a competitive XI domestically.
Probable Inter (3-5-2)
Sommer; Bisseck, Acerbi, Bastoni; Luis Henrique, Sucic, Barella, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Lautaro, Esposito
Tactical Notes
Rotation would allow Inter to manage minutes without wholly sacrificing competitiveness. Expect a cautious approach with a focus on defensive organisation and controlled possession to protect key players ahead of the Champions League fixture.
Betting Implications
Rotation increases the appeal of markets that reflect a tighter Inter performance: narrow Inter wins, draws, Both Teams To Score, and Under 3.5 goals are sensible considerations. Heavy handicaps on Inter (e.g., Inter -1) carry extra risk; goal markets and match props tied to squad changes could offer better value.
