Inter Milan coach Christian Chib has decided to start Manuel Accandi in his defense against Juventus. Tonight’s Serie A Match Day 3 clash begins at 18:00 CEST at Allianz Stadium.
Inter-trip to Turin for the first Derby da Italian collision of this season.
It’s a key match early in the campaign, with both sides eager to win.
It’s no surprise that both Christian Chive and Igor Tudor have chosen to send out the most powerful teams available.

However, Chivu has more options and currently no player is set to miss a match due to suspension or injury.
Juventus, on the other hand, does not have Andrea Cambiazo, Francisco Conseika, or Edon Zegrova, the summer signing ceremony.
Juventus vs Intermilan – Manuel Accangie set for Inter debut
First, the big team news ahead of the match is that Manuel Akanji makes his debut for Inter.
Swiss International joined from Manchester City on deadline for loan transactions during the season.
The loan also includes a purchase option of 15 million euros that is automatically triggered under certain conditions.
Since signing the Inter, Akanji has been on international duties with Switzerland and only had a few days to train with his new coaches and teammates.

However, Chivu decided to put his faith in the former Dortmund defender.
Acandi will start with Francesco Aservi and Alessandro Bastoni on the backline of Chiv.
Chivu places his faith in Henrikh Mkhitaryan & Carlos Augusto
Another pre-match question mark surrounds the midfield and left side.
Henrik Mkhitaryan was rumored to be handed the edge in signing Petar Sucic in the summer.
Therefore, Chib decided to resort to former Arsenal and Manchester United guys. Because the coach hopes his experience will help guide Inter through this tricky test.
Meanwhile, on the left there were some suggestions that Carlos Augusto could be in the starting eleven.
However, Federico DiMarco is placed on the bench and Carlos Augusto begins.
Finally, Lautaro Martinez starts off with Marcus Thurlam on the offensive.
This is despite Argentina returning from international obligations throughout the Atlantic on Wednesday night.
