The Italian Super Cup extends to four teams from the traditional one-off match, as two-time defending champions Inter Milan face Lazio. This match to be played at the Al-Awwal Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Friday will be the second semi-final of this competition. The winner of this tie will progress to face the winner of the first semi-final between Napoli and Fiorentina. Inter are bringing rich form to the Middle East as they lead Serie A by two points after 20 matches. They have been beaten only once across their last 20 competitive matches, winning 14 and drawing five. Their only defeat in that sequence knocked them out of Coppa Italia, which means this tournament is a great chance for them to win a title.

Lazio would be keen to play spoilsport, travelling on the back of a 1-0 win over city rivals AS Roma. That result was their fifth win in a row and sees them remain one point outside top-four in Serie A after 20 matches. They have won eight of their last 11 competitive matches, although one of the two defeats in that sequence came against Inter. Despite all these positives, they have struggled when playing away from Rome. Lazio have lost four of their last seven away matches in all competitions, winning only twice, although those two came in their most recent visits. It remains to be seen if they can continue their historical record against Inter in this competition, having won both previous Super Cup H2H games.
