Apparently Correa is available for this one. It's unlikely to see him starting right away, but I'd give him entire second half though.

It's not like we played an intense match during midweek in CL. So I think we'll see both Lautaro and Thuram starting in this one. That's fine, but I'd bring Correa ahead of Taremi in the second half.

This one is still one of these "easy" matches on paper, before we enter that tough schedule, so anything less than 3pts would've been a massive blow.

Our scudetto is over if we lose or draw this one. Napoli is unlikely to drop points as they only play 1 game per week. On paper, this is our only "certain" win before the horror stretch with Milan, Fiorentina, Juventus, (Genoa), Lazio - Coppa Italia, then finally the showdown with Napoli.

It makes sense theoretically but Scudetto is far from over, no matter what happens tomorrow. We can say that we would complicate situation by far, but one should never underestimate ANY match, no matter of opponent. I said in other thread that, these bottom teams will spit blood from now on. Battle for escaping relegation can be as entertaining as title challenge, if not more.

On another note, I don't think Napoli will hold on a perfect streak. They will definitely drop points, maybe even when you least expect it. It's not like they are unplayable. They aren't that convincing though. It's hard to argue against results, but I don't see them lasting like this until the end.

But they already did drop points...

Lecce away is not an "easy" match by any chance. This is a bit tough week anyway since we had to travel to Prague and then to Lecce. After that we have 3 matches played in Milano in 2 weeks time so at least the traveling is out of the equation after this match for awhile.

I read that Acerbi and Correa are still out.

Hopefully, Asllani will shine in this match to solidify himself as a viable option vs lower tier teams. Forza Inter, and Forza Asllani!

And they're fighting to stay in serie a. It won't be easy unless we score 2-3 goals in first half already.

The more I think and read about this schedule, the more ridiculous it seems.

We have better stats away from home. That still doesn't mean a thing if we don't put in a proper effort tomorrow. We're gonna play some real tough matches after this one, so we can still count this as an easier task rather than likes of Monaco, Milan, Fiorentina, and gobbi. We're gonna play these in the upcoming weeks, so we better not fuck up this one.

The most important thing is to get Bisseck , Hakan back asap, then Acerbi , because DeVrij needs rest soon. We will burn the guy out ffs

Luckily Carlos is back and is in peak fitness already.

We need a favor from Motta today.

We struggled away against Lecce even last season. It won't be easy.
