The appointment of Eusebio Di Francesco as head coach of the Venetians seemed dubious at first, and indeed, the fears have been confirmed. Like last year's Frosinone, Venice is showing flashes of brilliance, but the results are not there. After 19 games in the league, they have lost 11 and won just three, leaving them 19th in the standings. They are three points adrift of 17th place.
However, in their last five matches, they have only lost once, 1-0 away to Napoli. Di Francesco's men drew 1-1 at home to Empoli in the previous round before beating Cagliari 2-1 and drawing 2-2 with Juventus and Como.
Inter
The Italian Super Cup was once again held in Saudi Arabia, and Inter went into the mini-tournament as the reigning winners of the trophy for the past three seasons. In the semi-finals, Simone Inzaghi's side confirmed their status as favorites with a 2-0 win over Atalanta, and they looked set to do the same in the final against Milan. Inter took a two-goal lead into the 47th minute through Lautaro Martinez and Taremi, but not only did they miss out on victory, they lost in injury time. 2-3 - the decisive goal the black and blue conceded at 90+3.
Inter played their last game in the Italian championship in December, when they defeated Cagliari 3-0. The same Lautaro scored as well as Bastoni and Çalhanoglu's penalty. Inter have won five consecutive games in Serie A, with a goal difference of 19-1. The Nerazzurri are third in the standings, four points adrift of first place, but are ahead of all their rivals in terms of points lost.

Expert Betting Tips
Inter has just one league defeat and 12 wins in 17 matches. They are penultimate in the standings and, understandably, the Nerazzurri will almost certainly win. At the same time, we do not think there will be many goals. Inter is probably the best club in Europe today in terms of their ability to control the game's rhythm. Simone Inzaghi's men failed to do so in the Super Cup final against Milan, but that only happens to Inter a couple of times a year.
