The Milan club will kick off the Champions League playoffs next week, facing Madrid’s Atletico. Credit must be given to Simone Inzaghi’s team, which focused extensively on Serie A during the European Cup break, securing a significant advantage in the championship race. Currently, the “Nerazzurri” have 60 points, seven more than Turin’s Juventus, with a game in hand. Over the past weekend, Inter dealt with Roma away, securing a 4-2 victory. This win marked their seventh consecutive victory in all competitions. During this stretch, they also defeated Juventus (1-0), Fiorentina (1-0), Napoli (1-0), and Lazio (3-0). Victories over the last two opponents allowed the “Nerazzurri” to lift the Italian Super Cup.
The “Sea Horses” strengthened their squad with nine new players during the winter transfer window, but Salernitana has yet to feel the desired effect of fresh blood. Fabio Liverani’s team remains the worst team in Serie A, rightfully occupying the bottom of the league table. In 24 matches, the “Grenades” only managed to defeat Verona away and somehow Lazio at home. In the previous round, Salernitana hosted Empoli and lost 1-3. This defeat was their fourth in the last five matches, increasing the gap from the relegation zone to seven points.
