Both AC Milan and Inter Milan remain among the growing pack of challengers in the Serie A title race this season, but both teams will pause from league play on Wednesday to try and lift their first trophy of the new year.
AC Milan faces Inter Milan in the Supercoppa Italiana on Wednesday in Saudi Arabia in the latest installment of the rivalry. Stefano Pioli’s squad have only won one of their last five matches in all competitions, while also being eliminated from the Coppa Italia tournament.
Inter Milan is unbeaten in its last four matches since the World Cup break, defeating Napoli, Monza, Parma, and Hellas Verona respectively. Lautaro Martínez and Edin Dzeko remain one of the top 1-2 offensive punches in Europe this season, totaling 21 goals so far this campaign.
English FA Cup replays also headline this week’s short slate with several sides aiming to avoid upsets. Liverpool’s inconsistent run of form will be put to the test again on Tuesday with Jurgen Klopp’s squad visiting Wolves at Molineux. Leeds United hosts Cardiff City in Wednesday’s lone match as Jesse Marsch tries to ease the pressure on the Yorkshire club right now.
The Spanish Copa Del Rey also continues this week with Barcelona and Real Madrid heading on the road for their respective matches. Third-tier AD Ceuta hosts Barcelona on Thursday while Real Madrid might have a tougher contest against fellow La Liga side Villarreal.
