"This week, AC Milan, Inter, Napoli and Bologna will travel to Saudi Arabia for the Supercoppa Italiana, with each boasting a goalscorer. Each team will have their own ambitions for the Supercoppa, but everyone wants to win it. After all, you just need to win two games in a row, and as we saw last year, anything can happen. There could be some giveaways, though."
"As Corriere della Sera writes, via MilanNews, each team are heading to the tournament with a 'goal-hungry striker', and the four could be the 'stars of the desert'. Milan boast Christian Pulisic, who is the best performing of them so far. However, he will also battle against Rasmus Hojlund, Riccardo Orsolini and Lautaro Martinez. Despite his injury, the formerly Milan-linked Dane has four goals this season, whilst Orsoli boasts six. As it stands, Martinez is the top scorer of the division with 8."
"They will likely be instrumental to any success in the tournament, and the Rossoneri can have confidence, given how regular the American's scoring is. Then, there can be confidence taken from the fact that their striker already has experience in this competition. Of course, Lautaro does too, but his four goals in 509 minutes are trumped by Pulisic's two goals in 180 minutes."
AC Milan, Inter, Napoli and Bologna will travel to Saudi Arabia for the Supercoppa Italiana. The tournament format requires just two consecutive wins to claim the trophy, creating scope for surprises. Each team brings a goal-hungry striker who could become decisive. Milan feature Christian Pulisic, described as the best-performing forward so far, with two goals in 180 minutes and prior Supercoppa experience. Opponents include Lautaro Martinez (top scorer with eight), Riccardo Orsolini (six goals) and Rasmus Hojlund (four goals despite recent injury). Those forwards are likely to be instrumental to any team's success.
