On Tuesday, 12 December, Inter will play at home against Real Sociedad. The teams are fighting for first place in the group, although the play-offs are already secured. A draw must suit the Basques because of a better goal difference.

Inter are currently among the strongest teams in Europe. Simone Inzaghi has built a very powerful team, according to his vision of football. The club operates according to the scheme with three centre-backs. This is one of the best examples of its use in Europe. Inter in the Italian championship won twelve meetings out of fifteen. They have never lost in the Champions League.

Lautaro Martinez is having the best season of his career. The Argentine striker has already scored fourteen goals in Serie A. At the moment, the footballer is on the schedule of the contender for the Ballon d'Or.

Helps Inter and the absence of a large number of injuries. The key players are almost unchanged. The acquisition of a new striker has also been beneficial. Lautaro, in tandem with Thuram, is doing a much better job of attacking. The team is pragmatic, but they score a lot for their style. For example, in the Champions League there was a spectacular 3-3 draw with Benfica. There, Inzaghi gave the reserves a chance to prove themselves. In the next match we should have the main squad.

Real Sociedad also recorded a progressive upward movement. The team goes to Milan in a great mood after the defeat of Villarreal. The Basques managed to score three goals in nine minutes. Arsen Zakharyan finally started to bring some value to the team. The Russian scored a goal. Japanese Takefusa Kubo is having his best season. In the last match, the player made two effective actions.

Real Sociedad lost only once in the last ten matches. It happened in a home game with Barcelona, although the Catalans did not deserve to win. Now Real Sociedad looks very powerful, acting in ball control. There is an obvious trend to draw matches. The bet on the total more than three in the meetings with Sociedad has not passed in the last five games. If we take the distance of ten matches, six were draws. For example, Real Sociedad played at home without goals in a meeting with Salzburg. The team is acting pragmatically.

Milan should be a cautious match. In the first round, the rivals played with the score 1:1. Now they have only become stronger. Inter's big advantage is not clear. It will be a battle of two styles. Sociedad are likely to take control of the ball. Either club will not refuse to play cautiously if they get a minimal advantage.
