Reigning Supercoppa Italiana holders Inter will hope to successfully defend their title when they take on Napoli in the 2023 final on Monday, January 22nd.

Fresh off comfortable 3-0 victories against Fiorentina and Lazio respectively, Napoli and Inter will prepare to do battle in the 2023 Supercoppa Italiana final. For the Partenopei, winning this title could provide a huge boost for the side, who have been struggling to reach the heights they did during their Scudetto-winning run last season.

It has not been the easiest of returns for Walter Mazzarri, who was brought in to try to steer the ship after Rudi Garcia's sacking in November. Napoli ended 2023 on a rather bad note by failing to score in a frustrating stalemate against newly promoted Monza, and kicked off 2024 in less than convincing fashion by losing 3-0 to mid-table Torino and barely scraping by for a 2-1 win over minnows Salernitana.

At the moment, Napoli find themselves in eighth spot, meaning that retaining the Scudetto will certainly be a tall task. In addition, their Coppa Italia ambitions are up in smoke following an embarrassing 4-0 loss to Frosinone in the round of 16, and in the Champions League, they have received an unfavorable pairing, with Barcelona their upcoming opponents in the first knockout rounds. As such, the Supercoppa Italiana represents the only realistic chance at silverware for the Partneopei, but standing in their way is a team who have been in excellent form pretty much on all fronts this season.

Inter currently are just one point behind Juventus as the Nerazzurri aim to clinch the Scudetto this term, and although the Nerazzurri also suffered an embarrassing early exit in the Coppa Italia following a 2-1 defeat to Bologna, they have started 2024 on strong footing with comfortable wins over Hellas Verona and Monza in Serie A. Simone Inzaghi's team will face a tough test in the Champions League, as they will face Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid in the round of 16 next month, but for now, Inter will be firmly focused on completing a "three-peat" in the Supercoppa Italiana.
