Dailysports presents you a prediction for the final match of the Italian Super Cup, in which Napoli and Inter Milan will meet. The match will take place on Monday, 22 January, and will kick off at 20:00 CET.
Napoli
The Italian Super Cup 2024 was held for the first time in history in a new format, when four teams took part in the tournament and the participants still had semi-finals before the decisive meeting for the trophy. In the previous round, the Partenopei faced Fiorentina, who they were able to defeat even too easily - 3-0. For the reigning champions, it was the first win with a 3+ goal difference since last September.
Napoli's history this season has been a prime example that the status of national champion does not confer any additional preferential treatment. Since winning the Scudetto in the spring of 2023, the club has lost several important players, is without a head coach and is currently only ninth in Serie A.
Inter
The story goes that Napoli's closest rival for the Italian Super Cup, Inter, can knock Napoli off the champion's throne. The club from Milan showed one of the most stable games in the first half of the current season and deservedly took the first place in the table. Right now, Juventus have taken away the leading position from Inter, but the Old Lady have one match more and only one point advantage. So the fate of the championship title is still in the hands of Simone Inzaghi's team.
It is worth remembering that Inter is a classic example of a cup team. In the last three years, no one in Italy has won the Cup or the Super Cup of the country except Inter, who have taken the last two trophies in each of the tournaments.
