Inter Milan and Civito start season: Do you act cautiously or implement new strategies immediately?

Inter Milan will face Torino at home at the start of the 2025/2026 season of the Serie A. The showdown at Giuseppe Meacha Stadium at 01:45 am on Tuesday (August 26) was an important moment for the Nerazzurri. Christian Chiviu's head coach debut attracted much attention.

Last season, Inter Milan had to watch the Serie A championship fall into the hands of Naples. Now, their ambition is clear, to regain the league title and show everyone who is the real master of Italy. The opening game is considered an early measure.

Qibu's arrival brought fresh air and also raised some questions. The Inter Milan legend is believed to succeed Simeone Inzaghi who left after losing the Champions League final and headed to Riyadh to win. From the moment he made his debut, he faced a huge challenge.

Safe Game Strategy in San Siro It is estimated that Chivi will adopt a "safety first" strategy to face Turin. According to the report of "Milan Sports", Chivi will use a 3-5-2 formation in the opening match. This formation is considered a safer option as it has been closely linked to Inter Milan over the past few seasons and has proven to be solid.

There have been rumors that it is called flexibility and may undergo a 3-4-2-1 formation change. However, Christian Chiviu seemed reluctant to risk a new strategy in his first game. Tactical stability is given priority over tactical experiments.

With such a lineup, veterans like Francesco Archerby and Henrik Mkhitaryan are still the main choice. The combination of experience and stability is expected to bring a smooth start to Inter Milan.

Peter Susic entered the starting lineup

This game is also Peter Susic's debut stage. The Inter Milan new player is directly trusted to replace Hakan Cialhanoglu who is absent due to the suspension in an important position in the midfield. This trust shows Christian Chiviu's huge expectations for him.

Sucic will play side by side with Nicolo Barrera and Mkhitaryan in the midfield. This combination promises to maintain balance and support offensive creativity. For new players who play directly in the atmosphere of San Siro, the first test comes quickly.

Meanwhile, other new players are not expected to show from the beginning. Christian Chiviu chose to rotate slowly so that their adaptation process would go smoothly without additional stress.

Inter Milan lineup forecast

"Milan Sports" predicts that Inter Milan will play with Jan Sommer as the goalkeeper's lineup in the game. The defense is led by Benjamin Paval, Archerby and Alessandro Bastoni, while the wings are handed over to Denzel Defrey and Federico Dimarco.

Sucic will serve as the defensive midfielder, accompanied by Barrera and Mkhitaryan. Their arrival is crucial to controlling the rhythm and cutting off Turin’s offense from the midfield.

In the front, the duo of Marcus Toulam and Lautaro Martinez is ready to be the focus of the goal. This combination has proven its sharpness, and fans hope they can bring a sweet victory immediately in the season opener.

Inter Milan (3-5-2): Shamer; Parwad, Achebi, Bastoni; Devrei, Barrera, Susic, Mkhitaryan, Diarko; Turam, Lautaro.
