Inter take on Valencia tonight with Rodrigo Palacio and Ishak Belfodil leading the attack in the Guinness International Champions Cup.
Inter take on Valencia tonight with Rodrigo Palacio and Ishak Belfodil leading the attack in the Guinness International Champions Cup.
This is the Nerazzurri’s second match of the tournament, having lost 2-0 to Chelsea. Hugo Campagnaro was sent off in that tie, so is suspended for this encounter at the MetLife Stadium in New York.
Walter Samuel, Diego Milito and Mateo Kovacic are injured, so Belfodil partners Palacio in Walter Mazzarri’s classic 3-5-2 system.
Valencia also lost their opening game, 2-1 at home to Milan last week. They count on Eder Banega and Alcacer in the starting XI.
Kick-off is at 21.00 UK time, followed by Milan-Chelsea tonight.
