Lineups and team news for Benfica vs Inter Milan
Benfica's head coach, Roger Schmidt, has stated that his team has no new injury concerns ahead of their match against Inter Milan. It is possible that he will choose to use the same starting lineup that lost 2-1 to Porto in their last league game. Goncalo Ramos, who has scored 25 goals this season, including seven in the Champions League, is expected to be a key player for the home team.
According to predictions, Benfica is expected to play in a 4-3-3 formation with Vlachodimos as the goalkeeper. Bah, A. Silva, Otamendi, and Grimaldo are likely to make up the defensive line. The midfield will be formed by Luis, R. Silva, and Chiquinho, while the attacking line may feature Mario, Ramos, and Aursnes.
It has been confirmed that Inter Milan will be without two important players, Milan Skriniar and Hakan Calhanoglu, due to injuries until the end of April. However, Marcelo Brozovic and Lautaro Martinez, who were rested in the previous league game against Salernitana, are expected to be back in the team. The head coach Antonio Inzaghi may opt for a 3-5-2 formation with Handanovic in goal, and the three-man defense comprising of de Vrij, Bastoni, and Darmian. The midfield trio could include Barella, Eriksen, and Sensi, while the attacking duo may consist of Lukaku and Martinez.
It's worth noting that the goalkeeper for Inter Milan is likely to be Samir Handanovic instead of Onana, who is currently serving a suspension. But otherwise, the formation and players mentioned are accurate.
