Club Friendlies: REG v INT - Hakan Çalhanoglu can be the differential captaincy pick

Teams will be updated before the match

Match details: 

Reggina vs Inter Milan
Stadio Oreste Granillo
December 22nd, 22:30

Preview:

Reggina have started their competitive matches, but Inter Milan are still working to regain fitness. The two Italian sides meet at the Stadio Oreste Granillo today and will be looking to get a win to build confidence.

Reggina have been in decent form this month and have lost just once in their last seven matches. They were held by Bari to a goalless draw last weekend, and they have lost momentum. 

Inter Milan were also in good form during the warmup matches but ended up drawing to Real Betis last week. They had beaten Gzira United and RB Salzburg earlier this month in comfortable fashion. 

Reggina last faced Inter Milan in 2009 and lost 3-0 in the Seria A match.  

Starting line-up:

REG: Simone Colombi, Niccolò Pierozzi, Thiago Cionek, Michele Camporese, Gianluca Di Chiara, Žan Majer, Luigi Canotto, Giovanni Fabbian, Hernani, Rigoberto Rivas, Jérémy Ménez

INT: Samir Handanović, Milan Škriniar, Francesco Acerbi, Alessandro Bastoni, Raoul Bellanova, Nicolò Barella, Roberto Gagliardini, Robin Gosens, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Edin Džeko

Top picks: 

Edin Džeko: The striker has one last chance to prove that he should be starting over Lukaku and Martinez. Both strikers did not have a great outing at the World Cup and Dzeko can steal the starting spot. 

Henrikh Mkhitaryan: The former Arsenal and Manchester United star will be a good pick today as he will be playing in an advanced role. He could prove to be a tough player for Reggina to handle. 

Hakan Çalhanoglu: The former Milan star would be a decent differential pick today. He is very likely to be on the set pieces and could get on the scoresheet.

Captaincy options:

  1. Edin Džeko
  2. Henrikh Mkhitaryan
  3. Hakan Çalhanoğlu
