At the start of the season, “Inter” approached as the main contender for the title Simone Inzaghi’s team significantly outperformed all competitors in player selection, and in the summer, they managed to strengthen the squad even more. Not all newcomers fit seamlessly, but overall, they managed to address problem positions, and in the first round, the Nerazzurri made only a few mistakes, quickly securing a leadership position. In January, Inter won their first trophy of the season in Saudi Arabia, the Nerazzurri dealt with Lazio and Napoli, winning the Italian Supercup. In the league, Inter leads with 54 points, one point ahead of Juventus, but the “Old Lady” has played one more match. The 1-0 victory over Fiorentina in the last round was the third in a row and the 17th of the season.
Juventus could hardly seriously contend for the title at the start of the season due to financial reasons, there was no opportunity to strengthen the squad, and at the beginning of the season, Massimiliano Allegri’s team lost Paul Pogba and Nicolo Fagioli for non-sporting reasons. However, despite all the difficulties, the Old Lady skillfully took advantage of its lack of participation in European competitions and joined the title race. Currently, Juventus is second in the table, trailing Inter by one point, and Inter has one match in hand. Even in the worst-case scenario, such a handicap keeps the title chances alive. The Old Lady made a serious mistake in the last round, dropping points in a home game against Empoli a 1-1 draw interrupted a seven-game winning streak.
