The Supercoppa Italiana final, set to take place on January 6th, 2025, at Al-Awwal Park in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, promises to be a highly anticipated clash between Inter Milan and AC Milan. This match holds significant weight as both teams vie for supremacy in Italian football. Inter enters the contest with buoyant momentum after securing a convincing 2-0 victory against Atalanta in the semifinals and maintaining an impressive five-game winning streak . In contrast, AC Milan seeks redemption following a managerial change spurred by inconsistent performances since their earlier league victory over Inter.
At his pre-match press conference, Conceicao spoke about his squad and the condition of some players including Rafael Leao, his relationship with Simone Inzaghi and much more.
Denzel Dumfries’ second-half double inspired Inter to a clear-cut 2-0 win against Atalanta in their semi-final tie last Thursday, maintaining their rich vein of form. The reigning Serie A champions thrashed the current leaders to make it seven domestic wins in a row.
Virtually unplayable, Inter head into proceedings as favorites to claim a record-equaling ninth Super Cup trophy. However, Milan can draw level with their city rivals at eight with a win.
Inter Milan possible starting lineup: Sommer; Bisseck, De Vrij, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Correa, Martinez
AC Milan possible starting lineup: Maignan; Emerson, Tomori, Thiaw, Hernandez; Fofana, Bennacer; Pulisic, Reijnders, Jimenez; Morata
Inter's expected lineup reflects their strong form and tactical consistency. Coach Simone Inzaghi is likely to deploy a formation that mirrors their semifinal setup with only minor adjustments due to injury concerns; notably, Taremi is poised to replace the injured Thuram . Conversely, AC Milan's predicted lineup features key players such as Pulisic and Morata within a 4-3-3 formation. However, the absence of Rafael Leao due to injury could significantly impact their attacking threat .
Predictions for this match lean towards an Inter victory with odds suggesting a potential scoreline of 2-1 in favor of the reigning Serie A champions . The stakes are high not only for team pride but also for historical significance; Inter aims for its fourth consecutive Supercoppa title while AC Milan strives to equal its record of eight wins. As both teams prepare for battle on this grand stage, football enthusiasts eagerly await what promises to be an exhilarating encounter.
