Our prediction for this Italy Super Cup match:
There will be fireworks when Inter and Milan square off against each other at Kingdom Arena in the Italian Super Cup final. The Nerazzurri are on a five-game winning run in all competitions and they faced no difficulties in a 2-0 victory over Atalanta in the semis. Bearing any fresh injury worries, boss Simone Inzaghi is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Orobici, but all Benjamin Pavard, Francesco Acerbi, and Raffaele Di Gennaro remain in the recovery room.
The Rossoneri, on the other hand, came from behind to beat Juventus 2-1 in their semi-final clash, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in the decider. As Inter have found their best form of late, we predict that Lautaro Martinez and Co. are going to give fans yet another reason to celebrate on Monday evening. A man to watch in the away team will be fit-again forward Christian Pulisic, but star winger Rafael Leao remains on the sidelines with a thigh problem.
