Team News

Inter
  • Javier Zanetti, Walter Gargano and Diego Milito will be rested with Jonathan, Marco Benassi and Ricky Alvarez taking their spots.
  • Fredy Guarin currently has the second best WhoScored.com Europa League rating this season.
  • Inter have the 3rd most successful dribbles per game in the Europa League this season, with 13.5 per game.
CFR Cluj
  • There are reports in Romania that Cluj will go to the San Siro to defend, intent on fielding a back line of 5.
  • Cluj recorded the lowest possession in this season's Champions League group stages with just 31.2%.

Prediction

  • Inter coach Andrea Stramaccioni might risk fielding a strong lineup in this match ahead of their tough league clash with Fiorentina on Sunday. Stramaccioni has stated numerous times that he will not underestimate Cluj and that he will pick the best available team that he believes is best suited to start against the Romanians.
  • Cluj's domestic league has not resumed yet after a winter break and subsequently they have only been playing friendlies for match fitness in recent weeks. The Romanian team has a very big Portuguese influence, including the coach and most of the starting eleven.
  • Inter will be firm favorites to win and they should get all three points, but Cluj could be will motivated and possibly nick an away goal.
Prediction:
Inter
