A breathtaking classic in Italian football. The Derby della Madonnina between Milan and Inter Milan will be the decider of the Italian Super Cup between last season’s Italian champion and the Coppa Italia champion, respectively. The ball will roll at 4 pm (Brasília time), in Saudi Arabia.
The Milan team enters the field as the holder of the Scudetto, Italian Serie A title. However, the comeback after the break for the World Cup has not been very good. The team only won one of four games, not counting the elimination to Torino, at home, in the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia. Milan still has some important casualties, such as goalkeeper Maignan, along with Krunic and Rebic.
