What will be the winning move? Ruben Amorim and Cristian Chivu are moving their pieces ahead of Milan-Inter, the 247th Derby della Madonnina in history. The two coaches have cleared up all the doubts ahead of the match and are ready to field the best starting XI at their disposal, with one benefiting from returning players and the other having one major surprise.
Milan-Inter: Amorim's probable starting line-up:
The Portuguese coach should start Gila, Rabiot and Moreira, who have just returned from their respective fitness problems. The formation will be a hybrid between a 4-3-3 and a 4-4-1-1, with Rabiot and the attacking wingers ready to move according to the stage of the match. The new development is in defence, where Diawara will play on the left rather than Bartesaghi or Estupinan.
4-4-1-1: Maignan; Gila, De Winter, Pavlovic, Diawara; Moreira, Musah, Modric, Pulisic; Rabiot; Goncalo Ramos.
On the bench: Torriani, Bouyer; Bartesaghi, M. Cisse, Estupinan, Perera, F. Terracciano; Comotto, Jashari; Camarda, A. Cisse, Hutchinson, Menon, Ossola. Coach. Ruben Amorim.
Inter's possible lineup:
3-5-2: Martinez; Bisseck, Akanji, Bastoni; Diouf, Barella (c), Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Esposito.
On the bench: Provedel, Di Gennaro; Spence, Carlos Augusto; Stankovic, Zielinski, Sucic; Bonny. Coach: Cristian Chivu.
