Inter perform tactical experiments for their final Europa League game of the season, as Stefano Pioli’s men host Sparta Prague.

The Nerazzurri are already eliminated from the tournament, the first time they have ever gone out of the Europa League in the first round.

Under three different Coaches during the group phase, they lost four of the five matches so far, winning only 1-0 over Southampton.

It has been a dire campaign so far, losing half their 20 competitive games, and Pioli leaves out many top stars to perform some tactical experiments with a new 3-4-3 formation.

Assane Gnoukouri is an additional late absentee with a sprained ankle, but 17-year-old youth team striker Andrea Pinamonti gets his debut.

Juan Pablo Carrizo steps in for suspended Samir Handanovic.

Jonathan Biabiany, Eder and Rodrigo Palacio complete the makeshift side.

Sparta Prague have already won the group with 12 points, so it’s a head-to-head between Southampton and Hapoel Be’er-Sheva for the second qualifying spot.

Inter ultras are boycotting the match, so San Siro is practically deserted. They did leave a large banner in the stands: ‘Four defeats from five games. This is what you deserve for your embarrassing efforts… Shame on you.’
