Inter take on the visitors Lazio in the semifinal match of Italian Super Cup. The match will be played on Friday, January 19th at KSU Stadium (Riyadh).
Inter have prioritized Serie A now. The Nerazzurri recently won the Scudetto, but it was under Antonio Conte. After securing the title, Conte left Milan, realizing that the project's funding would be reduced. Simone Inzaghi agreed to take his place. Overall, Simone has performed admirably in his new role, winning the Supercoppa and reaching the Champions League final last season. In the current season, Inter finished second in their Euroarena group, and now they will face Atletico Madrid in the round of 16. They also suffered a surprising defeat to Bologna in the Coppa Italia at home. However, their dominance in Serie A compensates for any setbacks, as evidenced by their recent 5-1 victory over Monza.

Lazio long relied on Inzaghi as their coach and clearly planned to continue their collaboration with the former forward. However, Simone unexpectedly moved to Milan in 2021. The vacant position was entrusted to Maurizio Sarri. The Smoker was considered a unique coach and, for example, struggled to fully establish himself at Juventus, although he secured the title. In the capital, he improved, finishing as the vice-champion of Italy last season. However, the start of the current season was challenging. Sky Blues are gradually reclaiming their position. Despite some setbacks in Serie A, they remain competitive, with the 4th place just one point away after a 1-0 victory over Lecce. They also advanced to the semifinals in the cup with a tense 1-0 derby win against Roma. Their return to the Champions League was successful, overcoming a difficult start, including a home draw against Atletico Madrid.
Inter have won three out of the last four meetings, including two matches in 2023. The nominal hosts are stronger, and we believe that Simone Inzaghi can lead Lazio to victory against his former team.
Prediction for the match: Inter to win.
