Monaco vs Inter Live: Line-ups, Kick-off Time & How to Watch

Kick-off, venue & how to watch AS Monaco host Inter Milan in a high-profile pre-season friendly on Friday, 8 August 2025. The action starts at 20:00 CEST (19:00 BST / 14:00 ET) inside Stade Louis II and will be shown live on DAZN in Italy, Inter TV worldwide, and carried with text commentary on ESPN platforms. Why this friendly matters • Final dress rehearsal: Both sides open their domestic campaigns next weekend, so tonight’s game is the last chance to fine-tune tactics and fitness. • European ambitions: Monaco aim to return to the UEFA Champions League, while Inter, fresh from a Serie A title, want another deep continental run. • Market intrigue: New signings—Folarin Balogun (Monaco) and Tajon Buchanan (Inter)—could debut, giving scouts and fantasy-football managers an early look. Team news Monaco (coach Adi Hütter) – Injuries: Caio Henrique (ACL) and Mohammed Salisu (hamstring) remain out. – Probable XI: Köhn; Vanderson, Kehrer, Zakaria, Jakobs; Fofana, Camara; Minamino, Golovin, Ben Seghir; Balogun. Inter Milan (coach Simone Inzaghi) – Injuries: Alexis Sánchez (calf) is doubtful; Juan Cuadrado has not traveled. – Probable XI: Sommer; Pavard, Acerbi, Bastoni; Darmian, Barella, Çalhanoğlu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Martínez, Thuram. Head-to-head snapshot These clubs last met in a 2022 friendly that finished 2-2. Inter hold the historical edge (4W-3D-2L), but Monaco are undefeated in their previous five home friendlies. Key tactical battles 1. Midfield press: Barella vs Youssouf Fofana will dictate tempo; whoever wins second balls controls possession. 2. Wide overloads: Dimarco’s advanced wing-back role forces Vanderson to defend deeper, potentially isolating Monaco’s right flank. 3. High line vs counter: Inzaghi’s back three can be exposed by Balogun’s pace; watch for through-balls from Golovin. Betting odds & prediction Latest odds (90-min) — Monaco 2.90, Draw 3.20, Inter 2.40 (average of major bookmakers). Prediction: Monaco 1-2 Inter. The Nerazzurri’s greater squad depth should tilt a close contest.
