Venezia-Inter, the official line-ups: Thuram and Bonny in attack, Sucic and Stankovic starting from the first minute

Chivu has made his final decision and lines up Thuram alongside Bonny in the 6:30 pm match against Venezia, the first midweek round of the season. The choice reflects a team focused on the race at the top of the standings, without looking beyond the immediate commitment.

In midfield, Sucic and A. Stankovic start from the first minute, while on the right flank Diouf is preferred to Spence. The defensive line in front of Provedel is made up of Bisseck, Bastoni and Carlos Augusto, with Dimarco on the left and Zielinski in midfield.

On the lagoon side, Nicola responds with a 3-5-2 featuring F. Stankovic in goal and the pair Lauberbach–Adams in attack. In midfield, Kike Perez, Sohm and Helgason will play, with Halhal and Mazzocchi on the wings.
