Simone Inzaghi is not expected to change Inter’s starting XI in an away game at Cagliari while Lorenzo Lucca will replace Everton-bound Beto in the Udinese attack against Salernitana.
Serie A Round 2 ends today with Salernitana hosting Udinese at the Stadio Arechi at 17:30 BST and Inter meeting Cagliari away at 19:45.
The Nerazzurri are not expected to change their starting XI with Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram up front and Davide Frattesi initially on the bench. Francesco Acerbi is still out of action due to an injury.
Claudio Ranieri will line up his Cagliari side with a 3-5-2 or a 4-4-2 system. The Sardinians collected a 0-0 draw in their season debut against Torino last week.
Paulo Sousa’s Salernitana will meet Udinese earlier in the afternoon with Antonio Candreva and Grigoris Kastanos behind Boulaye Dia, who is fit again and ready to start his first league game this term after starting on the bench against Roma last week.
Udinese are selling their star striker Beto to Everton, so ex-Ajax and Pisa forward Lucca will replace the Portuguese, playing alongside Florian Thauvin.
