Inter Milan are just one point away from clinching the 2025-26 Serie A title, and they'll have the chance to secure it on home turf tonight against Parma at San Siro. Kick-off is set for 20:45 CET (19:45 BST), and the atmosphere promises to be electric as the Nerazzurri look to celebrate a championship with three games to spare.
Defender Alessandro Bastoni is expected to start after shaking off a fitness concern, forming the heart of a three-man backline that will be crucial against Parma's attack. Meanwhile, captain Lautaro Martinez has recovered from injury but will begin on the bench, giving Simone Inzaghi the luxury of a proven game-changer in reserve. Henrikh Mkhitaryan is tipped to edge out Petar Sucic for a spot in central midfield, adding experience to the engine room.
Inter's path to glory was paved further by Napoli's 0-0 draw with Como on Saturday, meaning a single point tonight will be enough to seal the Scudetto. That pressure is a welcome one for the hosts, who have been dominant all season but must cope without Hakan Calhanoglu and Luis Henrique due to injuries.
Parma arrive in Milan with their own injury concerns, missing Frigan and Cremaschi. Coach Carlos Cuesta is expected to field his strongest XI, with Adrian Bernabé pulling the strings in midfield and Mateo Pellegrino leading the line. The visitors will be eager to play spoiler, but facing a title-hungry Inter at San Siro is a tall order.
For fans watching from home, the match will be broadcast on TNT Sports 2, DAZN, and HBO Max in the UK and Ireland, and on Paramount+ in the USA. Football Italia will also be providing live updates from the stadium.
Projected line-ups: Inter (3-5-2): Sommer; Bisseck, Akanji, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Zielinski, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Esposito. Parma (3-5-2): Suzuki; Circati, Troilo, Valenti; Delprato, Bernabé, Nicolussi Caviglia, Keita, Valeri; Strefezza, Pellegrino.
