Feyenoord remain unbeaten after 11 Eredivisie matches, although successive draws have taken some momentum out of Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side.
Luciano Valente put them ahead against Fortuna Sittard on Saturday, but missed chances proved costly as the visitors equalised late in a 1-1 draw.
That was their third home league draw this season, underlining the difference between an intimidating atmosphere and consistently turning dominance into victories.
In Europe, defeats at Barcelona and Real Betis have left Feyenoord relying on their 3-2 home win over Como for their only points.
Reiss Nelson, Jordan Bos and Thomas Beelen are reported unavailable, while the fitness of Gijs Smal and Bart Nieuwkoop still needs checking.
Anis Hadj Moussa and Valente offer attacking invention, but the hosts must balance that threat against leaving space for Inter’s forwards.
Inter’s 3-1 derby defeat ended their unbeaten Serie A start, with three goals conceded before half-time exposing a need for a sharper approach.
Cristian Chivu had previously overseen four successive wins across all competitions, including the narrow victory over Shakhtar Donetsk that revived their European campaign.
Bonny and Pio Esposito were both below full fitness for the derby but appeared in the 81st minute, after Marcus Thuram had started alone up front.
A return to two strikers is expected if their recovery allows, with Esposito tipped to partner Thuram while Lautaro Martínez remains unavailable.
Ivan Provedel is favoured to return after missing the derby through flu, while Benjamin Pavard and John Stones remain absent from the defensive options, as well as Alessandro Bastoni, who is suspended.
Hakan Çalhanoğlu is expected to start ahead of Aleksandar Stanković, although the younger midfielder remains an alternative as Chivu assesses his options.

Whispers predicts: Feyenoord 1-3 Inter
Our 1-3 Inter prediction backs a response from Chivu’s side, with the anticipated return to two strikers offering greater support for Thuram.
The Hot Tip is Inter over 1.5 team goals at 1.49, supported by their recent league scoring record and Feyenoord’s run without a clean sheet.
BTTS – Yes & Over 2.5 goals at 1.65 reflects Feyenoord’s attacking threat at home, where they scored three against Como in their previous European outing.
HT/FT – Inter/Inter at 2.60 is our more ambitious selection, backing a sharper start after the derby, although a goalless first half would immediately defeat it.
> Inter over 1.5 team goals at 1.49 | Likelihood: Likely
> BTTS – Yes & Over 2.5 goals at 1.65 | Likelihood: Possible
> HT/FT – Inter/Inter at 2.60 | Likelihood: Possible
