Insight and Analysis: Inter Milan vs Juventus Italian Super Cup Final Match Prediction and Preview
Inter Milan vs Juventus Italian Super Cup Final match prediction, odds, preview, facts, injuries, suspensions and how to watch.
Inter Milan, the Serie A (SA) champions in 2020/21, will face Juventus, the Coppa Italia champions in the same season.
In a real meeting of Italian powers in the Supercoppa Italiana.
Inter appear to be the club to beat after climbing to the top of the SA table with an incredible eight consecutive league victories.
And are now undefeated in their past 12 domestic outings (W10, D2).
‘I Nerazzurri’ haven’t appeared in the Supercoppa Italiana since winning four of their seven outings between 2005 and 2011.
To live up to their status as betting favorites and win the championship for the sixth time in their history.
They’ll have to overcome a Juventus club that they’ve only beaten once in the last 12 competitive H2Hs (D4, L7).
But with the match taking place at the San Siro, home advantage could tip the scales.
Juventus’ 14th consecutive win is a club record,last season’s Coppa Italia victory earned them a record-tying 17th appearance in this showpiece final.
And they’re now chasing a record-tying tenth Supercoppa title! Is there a pattern here?
The reigning cup champions of Italy have appeared in this final for the past nine seasons, winning the trophy five times.
Despite being 11 points behind the leaders in South Africa. The ‘Old Lady’ will be on a high after defeating Roma 4-3 in a game of the season contender last time out.
Their difficult start to the season appears to be in the rearview mirror.
A current eight-game unbeaten sequence (W6, D2), during which they have led 1-0 at halftime on six occasions,indicates that the Juve camp is confident.
Players to watch
Lautaro Martnez, Inter’s leading scorer this season, might break through late, as five of his last seven club goals have come after the 60th minute.
However, he could be overshadowed by Juventus’ Paulo Dybala, who has four goals in five outings in the Supercoppa Italiana.
Hot Stat
The SA winners have won the Supercoppa Italiana 14 times out of 21 since the turn of the century.

Inter are in fantastic form and will be looking to win their first trophy under Simone Inzaghi.
Juventus came back from a seven-goal deficit to beat Roma at the weekend.
