A horrible week with only losses. A few of them undeserved ones, a few of them with too greedy handicap, some just poor or mediocre picks at best. The weather, the injuries, the heavy schedules and the flu season makes the matches more unpredictable this time of the year, as well as the transfers and rumours.
When the teams met last time in September this is what happened:
The Supercoppa Italiana final, and the second Derby della Madonnina of the season, will see Inter Milan and AC Milan face off at Al-Awwal Park in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Monday at 9:00 PM.
Inter coach Inzaghi makes history?
Ambitious Inter Milan boss Simone Inzaghi could make coaching history on Monday as he looks to overtake the legendary Fabio Capello and Marcello Lippi as the only coach to win a historic tenth league trophy. The trio shares an Italian record of nine titles, including all club trophies. Inzaghi has four more trophies to his name this season, with Serie A, Coppa Italia, and Champions League still to be won, but the season is only half-way!
They also are chasing the eighth Supercoppa Italiana trophy in club history. They are currently on a six-game winning streak, extending their five-game winning streak in Serie A, having beaten league leaders Atalanta 2-0 at Al-Awwal Park in the Supercoppa semi-final last Thursday. It was a match where Atalanta did not even put up a serious line-up, the Atalanta coach Gasperini clearly showing his lack of interest in this cup in Saudi Arabia. It was way too easy for Inter even if the xG-data showed relatively even numbers.
Team news:
Defenders Francesco Acerbi and Benjamin Pavard, who are suffering from thigh problems, as well as second-choice goalkeeper Raffaele Di Gennaro, who is nursing a finger injury, are out, It is also uncertain whether the injured striker Marcus Thuram will be fit to play after being sidelined early in the second half of the semi-final and replaced by Mehdi Tarem after the Frenchman was substituted. Thuram would be a big miss.
Possible starting line-up for Inter (3-5-2): Sommer; Bisseck, de Vrij, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Correa, Martinez.
AC Milan kicked out Juventus in Conceicao's new start!
The Rossoneri, led by Sergio Conceicao, could not have started their honeymoon with their new coach more beautifully, as the Milanese managed to knock Juventus out of the final 2-1 at Al-Awwal Park after defeating the Old Lady last Thursday. Paulo Fonseca's tenure at the helm of AC Milan ended with the sacking at the turn of the year, but it was not probably all his fault, AC Milan have been a bit like Man Utd recent years. Underperformers.
The Torino team still led the second half at half-time when Kenan Yildiz fired a shot from inside the box into the top right corner past a helpless Mike Maignan in the Milanese goal in the 21st minute. Yildiz had another chance to score from the spot in added time, but this time Maignan made a reflex save to keep the ball out.
The Rossoneri equalized with a shot from the edge of the box from Christian Pulisic, although Michele Di Gregorio missed a few shots in the 71st minute. The Milanese winner came very unluckily from the Juventus perspective, when the ball deflected off Juventus defender Federico Gatti and went behind the helpless Di Gregorio's back fifteen minutes before full time. The expected goal (xG) was recorded in the Rossoneri's favor at 1.6-1.0.
AC Milan team news:
Defender Alessandro Florenzi will miss the final due to a knee problem, along with midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek due to a thigh problem, and forwards Samuel Chukwueze (thigh) and Rafael Leao (thigh).
AC Milan (4-2-3-1) possible starting lineup: Maignan; Emerson, Tomori, Thiaw, Hernandez; Fofana, Bennacer; Pulisic, Reijnders, Jimenez; Morata.
Neither of the teams are overexcited of this cup trophy, but it makes a huge difference that they face each other, and it will be interesting and fierce. If Thuram is out it helps AC a lot, and they also have the boost of the new coach and a good result, and a decent performance. It will tight, a 0-0 comes first to mind but with these odds I am happy to take X2. Remember, it is a neutral ground!
Good luck!

糟糕的一周，只有损失。他们中的一些人不值得，一些人太贪婪的障碍，一些只是糟糕或平庸的选择。天气、伤病、繁忙的赛程和流感季节使得每年这个时候的比赛更加难以预测，还有转会和谣言。
这两支球队上次在9月份会面时发生了这样的事情：
意大利超级杯决赛和本赛季的第二场德比将于周一晚上9点在沙特阿拉伯利雅得的Al-Awwal公园进行，届时国际米兰和AC米兰将会战。
国米主帅因扎吉创造历史？
雄心勃勃的国际米兰主帅西蒙尼·因扎吉有望在周一创造教练历史，他有望超越传奇的法比奥·卡佩罗和里皮，成为唯一一位获得历史上第10座联赛冠军的教练。这三人创造了意大利九冠王的纪录，包括所有的俱乐部奖杯。因扎吉本赛季还有4座奖杯要拿，意甲、意大利杯和欧冠还有待赢得，但赛季才过半！
他们也在追逐俱乐部历史上的第八个意大利超级杯奖杯。在上周四的超级杯半决赛中，他们在阿尔奥瓦尔公园球场以2比0击败了联赛领头羊亚特兰大，目前他们已经取得了6连胜，在意甲联赛中延续了5连胜。在这场比赛中，亚特兰大甚至没有拿出一个正式的阵容，亚特兰大主教练加斯佩里尼显然对在沙特阿拉伯举行的世界杯缺乏兴趣。这对国米来说太容易了，即使xg数据显示的是相对偶数的数字。
团队新闻:
由于大腿受伤的后卫阿塞比和帕瓦尔，以及手指受伤的替补门将迪热纳罗都将缺席比赛。在半决赛后半段比赛中受伤的前锋图拉姆能否上场也不确定，他在比赛中被替换下场后被塔雷姆代替。图拉姆将是一个很大的失误。
国米可能的首发阵容（3-5-2）：萨默；比塞克，德弗瑞，巴斯托尼；邓弗里斯、巴雷拉、卡尔汉奥卢、姆希塔良、迪马科；科雷亚,马丁内斯。
在孔塞西乔的新开局中，AC米兰淘汰了尤文图斯！
在塞尔吉奥·孔塞西乔的带领下，红黑军团与新教练的蜜月之旅开始得再完美不过了。上周四，米兰人在阿尔奥瓦尔公园球场击败老妇人，2-1淘汰尤文图斯。保罗·丰塞卡在AC米兰的任期以年初的解雇而结束，但这并不全是他的错，AC米兰近年来有点像曼联。该公司。
下半场结束时，都灵队仍处于领先地位。第21分钟，凯南·耶尔迪兹在禁区内一脚射门，穿过米兰球门内无助的迈克·麦尼南，射入球队右上方。在补时阶段，耶尔德兹有机会再次破门，但这一次梅尼安做出了一个反射性的扑救，将球挡出了球门。
红黑军团凭借克里斯蒂安·普利西奇在禁区边缘的射门扳平了比分，尽管米歇尔·迪格雷戈里奥在第71分钟射失了几次射门。从尤文图斯的角度来看，米兰的制胜球来得非常不幸，在比赛结束前15分钟，球从尤文图斯后卫费德里科·加蒂身上偏出，落到了无助的迪·格雷戈里奥的背后。红黑军团的预期进球（xG）是1.6-1.0。
AC米兰队新闻：
后卫亚历山德罗·弗洛伦齐将因膝伤缺席决赛，中场鲁本·洛夫图斯-奇克因大腿受伤，前锋萨穆埃尔·楚科奇（大腿受伤）和拉斐尔·莱奥（大腿受伤）也将缺席决赛。
AC米兰（4-2-3-1）可能的首发阵容：梅尼昂；爱默生、托莫里、蒂奥、埃尔南德斯；Fofana Bennacer;普利西奇、雷金德斯、希门尼斯；Morata。
两支球队都没有对这个奖杯过于兴奋，但他们面对彼此会有很大的不同，这将是有趣和激烈的。如果图拉姆缺席，这对AC有很大的帮助，他们也有新教练的激励和一个好的结果，以及一个不错的表现。比分会很紧，我首先想到的是0-0，但考虑到这样的*，我很乐意选X2。记住，这是一个中立的地方！
好运！
