Official Starting Lineups – Atalanta Vs Inter Milan: Benjamin Pavard & Carlos Augusto Start | OneFootball

Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi has decided to start Benjamin Pavard and Carlos Augusto against Atalanta. This evening’s Serie A matchday 29 clash kicks off at 20.45 CET.

Inter Milan take on Atalanta in a Serie A title six-pointer this evening. With only three points separating the sides ahead of the kick-off, there’s little margin for error.

However, the Nerazzurri head into proceedings in a buoyant mood after reaching the Champions League quarter-finals

Moreover, the reigning champions pulled off a stunning comeback last weekend to beat Monza 3-2 at home.

As if that’s not encouraging enough, Inter humbled Atalanta 4-0 in September’s reverse fixture.

Therefore, Inzaghi’s team will take the field brimming with confidence.

Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi has made just a couple of changes to the team that beat Feyenoord 2-1 in midweek.

Josep Martinez surrenders his place in goal, therefore. However, Yann Sommer is back between the sticks. Then, in defense it is the same back three that started against Feyenoord.

Therefore, Benjamin Pavard, Alessandro Bastoni, and Francesco Acerbi all start. On the other hand, Stefan de Vrij is out with a knee injury.

Meanwhile, the wingback pairing of Denzel Dumfries and the recently recovered Carlos Augusto also starts once again. That is partly the result of an injury crisis.

In midfield, though, there is one change. Subsequently, Nicolo Barella returns to the starting XI at the expense of Davide Frattesi.

As such, he joins forces with Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Hakan Calhanoglu. Lastly, a notable change comes in attack.

Therefore, Lautaro Martinez returns to the starting lineup – replacing Mehdi Taremi alongside Marcus Thuram.
