Inter Milan are set to host Crotone at the San Siro on Sunday in their next Serie A game.
Inter Milan come into this game on the back of a 2-1 win over Ivan Juric's Hellas Verona last Wednesday at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi.
Goals from Argentine striker Lautaro Martinez and Slovakian centre-back Milan Skriniar secured the win for Antonio Conte's Inter Milan. Young Serbian midfielder Ivan Ilic scored the consolation goal for Hellas Verona.
Crotone, on the other hand, beat Parma 2-1 last Tuesday at the Stadio Ezio Scida.
A first-half brace from Brazilian attacker Junior Messias ensured victory for Giovanni Stroppa's Crotone. Former AC Milan midfielder and Slovakia international Juraj Kucka scored the consolation goal for Parma.
