Inter approached the start of the season as one of the main contenders for the title – Simone Inzaghi had a very solid squad and strengthened it in the summer. However, the start of the season was unconvincing, and in the fall, the “Nerazzurri” fell into a protracted crisis, thus crossing out the possibility of winning the Scudetto, while “Napoli” took a serious lead in the first round. Losing points in the championship, “Inter” nevertheless looked solid in the Champions League, where they dealt with “Porto”, and then did not leave any chances to “Benfica”, deciding the outcome of the confrontation essentially in the first match, winning 2-0 in Lisbon. In the last round, “Inter” beat “Empoli” 3-0 away, thus interrupting a series of five winless matches. At the moment, the “Nerazzurri” are sixth in the table, but they are only two points behind the fourth-placed “Milan”.
Juventus, like their opponent today, had a weak start to the season. Closer to the middle of the first round, it became clear that they had no chance of winning the scudetto and their goal became to secure a spot in the Champions League. The team of Massimiliano Allegri found their form and at one point reached second place, but then had 15 points deducted from their total. However, they recently regained those points, but fans of the “Old Lady” should not relax until June when a final decision on this matter will be made. Last week, “Juventus” held a 1-1 draw with “Sporting” away in the Europa League and advanced to the semifinals, where they will face “Sevilla”. In Serie A, in the last round, “Juve” lost 0-1 to “Napoli” in a somewhat ambiguous match, where they defended the whole game but then launched a successful counter-attack in the end, which was cancelled due to a foul by the referee. “Napoli” punished them a few minutes later. Thus, at the moment, “Juventus” are third in the table with 59 points and are three points ahead of fifth-placed “Roma”.
