Inter did not manage to ideally hold the starting segment of the championship. The team lost many key players in the summer, acquired a new coach in the person of Simone Inzaghi and allowed itself to lose points several times at the start. At the same time, the Nerazzurri quickly stabilized the situation and got in shape. By the end of the first round they managed to beat off the podium. While the main competitors began to steadily lose points, Inter continued to take the maximum, having managed to break away from their pursuers. At the moment, the Nerazzurri are four points ahead of Napoli and Milan, but the leader has played one match less. In the last round, Inter beat Venice with a score 2:1, extending their unbeaten streak in the championship to 14 matches.
Last season “Middlesbrough” took only tenth place, but the start of the new championship was unsuccessful for the team. Like today’s opponent, the guests were eliminated in the first round of the League Cup, but managed to gain momentum in the Championship, where the team got 13 points and six draws, which brought 45 points and seventh place in the table. After an away defeat to Blackburn (0:1), the Smoggs beat Coventry City (1:0) at home. On the way to the match of the 1/16 finals of the FA Cup, the guests defeated Mansfield Town (3:2). Ameobi, Brown and Fisher will not be able to help the team today.
