Competition: Europa League Date: Thursday 6th November 2014 Venue: Stade Geoffroy-Guichard Kick-Off: 18:00 GMT
Team News
The only long-term absentee for Inter will be Osvaldo and D’Ambrosio. Osvaldo suffered the injury while on international duty with Italy, while D’Ambrosio sustained his during training last week. Apart from those two, Walter Mazzarri has the full squad at his disposal.
There are no injuries or suspensions for manager Christophe Galtier’s side, expect Erdinç to lead the attacking line after the striker was rested over the weekend.
Match Preview
Inter Milan will aim for their third win out of four in the Europa League as they travel to face French side, Saint-Étienne who will be looking for their first win in the group stage.
Inter Milan’s performance this season has been a mixed bag, with only three wins in Sere A. But in Europa League, they have performed relatively better with two wins from three games. If we include the playoff round, then Inter have won four of five in the competition, and more impressively, they haven’t conceded a goal in the process.
Saint-Étienne hasn’t lost a game in the group stage of Europa League, but they haven’t won a single game either. In fact, their previous three games against Qarabag and Dnipro and Inter, have all ended in goalless draws. Questions will be asked of Mevlüt Erdinç and Ricky van Wolfswinkel if the French side fail to score for a fourth successive time.
Likely Line-Ups
St Etienne
Ruffier, Théophile-Catherine, Sall, Perrin, Tabanou, Clement, Lemoine, Hamouma, Corgnet, Gradel, Wolfswinkel
Inter Milan
Handanovic; Ranocchia, Vidic, Juan Jesus, Dodo; Kovacic, Medel, Obi, Hernanes; Icardi, Palacio
Key Stats
This meeting will be a reunion of some sort, with Freddy Guarin facing his first European club, whom he first joined in 2006.
Yann M’Vila will face three former teammates from his Rennes’ days, Kévin Théophile-Catherine, Mevlüt Erdinç, and Fabian Lemoine.
Théophile-Catherine spent last season with Gary Medel at Cardiff City.
Prediction:
2-1
