On February 5, the match of the 21st round of the Italian Serie A will take place, in which Inter Milan and Milan will play. The forecast for this match is given by the famous commentator Pavel Zanozin.Inter is in second place in the standings, but is far behind the leading Napoli.
Even four victories for Simone Inzaghi's team will not be enough to match the Neapolitans. Nevertheless, no one is going to fight for the scudetto, given almost half of the championship that is ahead. In January, the "black and blue" pleased their fans by winning the Italian Super Cup trophy, defeating just Milan with a score of 3:0. In the new match, they will not be able to count on Dalbert, and also, most likely, Handanovic and Brozovich will not enter the field.
The defeat of Milan by Inter in the match for the Super Cup of the country was not an accident. This is a consequence of the systemic problems that Stefano Pioli faced after the World Cup in Qatar. In seven matches this winter, the Red-blacks managed to win only 1 victory, while losing several times with a crushing score. If you look at the last 4 matches, then Milan has 14 goals conceded in them – this is even more than in the last 12 official matches. As a result, he even flew out of the Champions League zone, dropping to 5th place in the standings. Stefano Pioli cannot count on Desta, Florenzi, Bennaser and Ibrahimovic in this meeting. It is unlikely that Menyan and Tomori will also have time to recover.
Pavel Zanozin does not believe that in this match, Milan in its current state will be able to impose a serious struggle on Inter, which is in perfect order, eager to gain a foothold in second place and continue the pursuit of Napoli. The expert is betting on a clean victory of the nominal home team.
