Inter Milan is just one point away from securing the Serie A title for the 2025-26 season, and tonight the San Siro Stadium will host a decisive clash against Parma. With the clock set to strike 20:45 CET, the Nerazzurri are preparing for a performance that could seal the championship with three matches to spare, in a contest where tension and excitement will be at an all-time high.
The big news for Inter fans is the recovery of Alessandro Bastoni, who is expected to start in a three-man defense, according to reliable sources such as Sky Sport and Gazzetta dello Sport. The Italian defender, a key player in Simone Inzaghi’s setup, returns to strengthen the backline in a match where every detail matters. On the other hand, Lautaro Martínez, back from injury, will not start in the starting eleven, being reserved for the bench, a tactical decision that is sure to spark much debate.
The Milan team, which will be without Hakan Çalhanoğlu and Luis Henrique due to physical issues, is relying on a solid strategy. In midfield, Henrikh Mkhitaryan is the preferred choice to ensure creativity and experience, relegating Petar Sucic to the bench. Inter will take to the field in a 3-5-2 formation, with Sommer in goal, Bisseck, Akanji, and Bastoni in defense, and in midfield, a focus on the contributions of Dumfries, Barella, Zieliński, Mkhitaryan, and Dimarco. Up front, Thuram and Esposito are tasked with breaking through Parma’s defense.
On the Parma side, the team visits Milan missing Frigan and Cremaschi, both injured, which already limits the options for coach Carlos Cuesta. The coach is opting for a 3-5-2 formation, with Suzuki in goal, and players like Adrian Bernabé and Mateo Pellegrino gaining prominence in the more creative and offensive sectors, in an attempt to surprise the league leaders.
With Napoli only managing a draw against Como last Saturday, a draw at San Siro is enough for Inter to secure the title. The pressure is entirely on the hosts, who know that a point will be worth the ultimate glory this season.
For fans who cannot watch live, the match will be broadcast live on TNT Sports 2, DAZN, and HBO Max in the UK and Ireland, and on Paramount+ in the United States. Minute-by-minute coverage will be provided by Football Italia, which will offer a live blog to follow all the key moments.
This evening, Inter Milan has the opportunity to write another golden chapter in its history, and the expectation is that Bastoni and company will not let the trophy slip away against a determined but weakened Parma. Get ready for a night of strong emotions in the heart of Italian football!
