Team News:

• Inter Milan have no suspensions to worry about, but three injuries, which they picked in the month of October: Carlos Augusto, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, and Francesco Acerbi. These injuries do raise tensions in the defensive half.
• Venezia FC reportedly have no suspensions and only one injury concerning them and winger Bjarki Bjarkason.

Player(s) to watch:

• Lautaro Martinez, fresh off his impressive 7th position Ballon d'Or finish, will be a key threat for Inter Milan. His recent form, including a goal and an assist in the last match, suggests he could be in for another big performance. Given Venezia's defensive vulnerabilities, a hat-trick wouldn't be surprising.
• On the other hand, Filip Stankovic, on loan from Inter, will have a crucial role to play for Venezia. He will need to produce some outstanding saves to keep Inter's potent attack at bay.
