There’s no two without three? Inter says yes: the Nerazzurri, winners of the Italian Super Cup in the previous two seasons, are aiming for a trio achieved only by Milan in the history of Italian football. Furthermore, for Simone Inzaghi, the fifth victory would mean moving away from Capello and Lippi in the competition’s roll of honour. Napoli, on the other hand, wants to close the circle with 2012, when, again with Walter Mazzarri on the bench, they were beaten in extra time by Juventus in Beijing. In Riyadh, for the record, such a final will not be possible: the new final four format provides for penalty shots after the end of regulation time. Below are the probable lineups for the match.

Kick-off: 8pm Stadium: Al Awwal Park, Riyadh
TV: Canale5
Streaming: Mediaset Infinity
Referee: Antonio Rapuano (Rimini)
How Napoli arrives. The Azzurri have welcomed reinforcements, Traoré and Ngonge: the former will not be available for some time, the latter will start from the bench. Mazzarri should repeat the starting eleven already seen against Fiorentina, leaving Zielinski still on the bench in midfield, where Demme returns but Cajuste and Lobotka should start as starters. Mazzocchi and Mario Rui are the wingers, in defense there will be Di Lorenzo, Rrhamani and Juan Jesus to protect Gollini. Confirmations also regarding the attack, with Politano coming out on top in the attempt to reward Zerbin, hero of the semi-final but departing, alongside Kvaratskhelia: Simeone favored over Raspadori for the center forward role.
How Inter arrives. Bastoni is not at his best and should start from the bench: Acerbi will move to the centre-left, with De Vrij leading the defense and Pavard on the centre-right. Sommer in goal, in midfield there are few doubts: Calhanoglu, who will miss the next championship due to suspension, will regularly replace him; Barella and Mkhitaryan are both clearly in pole position over Frattesi, who is increasingly valuable as a solution to the ongoing race, but the Armenian is not at his best. Darmian on the right, Dimarco on the opposite out. Thuram with Lautaro in attack.
