"With a single point separating the two arch-rivals (although Inter have a match in hand), this encounter has been labeled as a direct Scudetto showdown.
Therefore, Inzaghi will be hellbent on securing a positive result. A win would be a significant step in the path towards the club’s much-anticipated second golden star.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport via FcInterNews, the Inter manager will be looking to rely on four key elements in his matchday plan.
The first key to victory will be aggression from the get-go.
In the two clubs’ last three league encounters, Inter have always fallen behind in the scoresheet. They only managed to rescue a draw in the reverse fixture earlier this season.
However, Inzaghi’s men have learned to enter their clashes with the right approach and will be looking to prove it by snatching the lead this time around.
The second aspect is a frenetic rhythm that disturbs Max Allegri’s resolute defenses.
The Nerazzurri will have a full week to restore their energy levels after beating Fiorentina last weekend. This should help them implement a higher tempo that deranges their opponents.
The third key is the left-side triangle of Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Federico Dimarco and Alessandro Bastoni. Inzaghi will be hoping to cause havoc through this trio and their surprising movements.
Finally, the Inter manager will turn to Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez to drain out Allegri’s backline with their tenacious runs and lethal movements inside the penalty box.
The Frenchman has proven himself as one of the best signings of the summer in Serie A. For his part, the Argentine is leading the Capocannoniere race with 19 goals in as many appearances."
