How Inter and Verona are doing: lineups and latest news
As for the form of the two teams, let’s start with the home side. Inter, after three consecutive defeats between the league and Coppa Italia—respectively against Bologna, Milan, and Roma—regained a great performance in their last European fixture. At Barcelona, in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals, the Nerazzurri secured an excellent 3-3 draw, even coming close to winning.
It’s also a negative spell in the league for Verona, who have gone five matches without a win. After three draws, Paolo Zanetti’s team suffered two straight defeats, against Roma and Cagliari. Their last victory was a 1-0 away win at Udinese on March 15. Verona are still fighting for survival, but have a 7-point cushion over the relegation zone.
Regarding the probable lineups for Inter-Verona, a significant rotation is expected for the Nerazzurri. Besides Sommer, the only other survivors from the Champions League match could be Bisseck and Mkhitaryan. For Verona, Tengstedt is back on the bench and Suslov returns to the starting lineup to support the lone striker, Sarr.
