Storyline to watch
Does Chivu stick to the Inzaghi formula? Chivu has shown signs of tactical adaptation since taking over from Inzaghi, but retains a largely conservative formation. As the high stakes loom, a decisive tactical change may be necessary.
Prediction
Expect a tense match, likely lacking finesse, but ultimately ending in a much-needed result for Inter. PICK: River Plate 1, Inter 2.
