Inter had a great season last term, winning the Italian Super Cup and finishing top of the Serie A table by a considerable margin. If Milan were trying to give Juventus a run for their money in the first half of the season, there was no more intrigue after the midway point of the championship, as the Nerazzurri finished 19 points clear of their nearest challengers. In the off-season, the Nerazzurri kept all their key players, while Piotr Zielinski and Mehdi Taremi were added to the squad. Simone Inzaghi's men have already played four pre-season games, beating Lugano 3:2, Pergokrema 2:1, Las Palmas 3:0, and Pisa 1:1.

Al-Ittihad is one of the most successful clubs in Saudi Arabia, having won the national championship nine times, most recently in the 2022/23 season. They performed poorly in last year's national championship, finishing fifth in the league, a disappointing result for such an ambitious and star-studded side. In the off-season, they continued to strengthen their squad, bringing in the likes of Houssem Aouar, Moussa Diaby and Predrag Rajkovic. However, the Black and Yellows performed very poorly in pre-season. They lost 2:0 to Elche, 1:0 to Sevilla, 1:3 to Farense and 4:1 to Betis.

Al-Ittihad had a disappointing campaign last season in the Saudi Arabian league, finishing fifth in the standings, before turning to friendlies in frustration. They lost all four pre-season matches by a combined score of 2:10, reflecting their current form. They will face the reigning Italian champions in their next outing, so their chances of breaking their losing streak will be minimal.

We have every right to expect a great performance from them in this clash. Al-Ittihad may be in bad shape, but they continue to delight their fans with spectacular football. They have missed far more often than they have recently scored, but the bookmakers' top scorers are usually overlooked. They have scored 23 goals in their last six matches (an average of 3.83 per game), which is an excellent result.
