Inzaghi's side, currently in first place on 61 points, are playing La Dea in third on 58 points. It will be the third match between the two teams this season, after Inter's win in the reverse fixture, opening with Djimsti's own goal, before Barella's goal and Thuram's brace. The Nerazzurri also won in the Supercup semi-final thanks to Denzel Dumfries' brace.
