Genoa VS Inter Milan live preview Serie A

Genoa：

Friday's Serie A clash at Stadio Luigi Ferraris features Genoa and Inter, both coming off victories against Sassuolo and Lecce. Genoa, formidable at home, faces a daunting task against the in-form league leaders. While the home team has no new injury concerns, Junior Messias and Mateo Retegui continue their recovery on the sidelines.

Inter Milan：

Contrastingly, Inter Milan enters the festive clash with an impressive four-game winning streak in Serie A. The Nerazzurri, known for their cohesive teamwork, are expected to benefit from the potential return of key striker Lautaro Martinez against Alberto Gilardino's Genoa. However, the absence of Juan Cuadrado and Denzel Dumfries due to injuries poses a challenge for the visiting side. While their previous encounter resulted in a goalless draw at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris, an away win is now a strong consideration for Inter.

Analysis:

Inter faces Genoa without captain Lautaro Martinez, sidelined due to a muscular strain, with Marko Arnautovic likely to partner Marcus Thuram upfront. Matteo Darmian fills in for the injured Denzel Dumfries. Dumfries hopes to be on the bench, while Federico Dimarco and Juan Cuadrado remain unavailable. Genoa relies on top scorer Albert Gudmundsson and Ghana striker Caleb Ekuban. Alberto Gilardino may miss Mateo Retegui and Junior Messias, but midfielder Kevin Strootman is back in contention. Benjamin Pavard's return to the Inter side is uncertain.

Genoa possible starting lineup:

Martinez; De Winter, Bani, Dragusin; Sabelli, Frendrup, Badelj, Malinovskyi, Vasquez; Gudmundsson; Ekuban

Inter Milan possible starting lineup:

Sommer; Bisseck, Acerbi, Bastoni; Darmian, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Augusto; Thuram, Arnautovic
