Inter Milan is gearing up for their fourth friendly match under coach Simone Inzaghi. On August 2nd at 19:30, the Nerazzurri will face off against Pisa at the Arena Garibaldi. This match holds special significance as it pits Simone against his brother Filippo, who manages Pisa.
Inter has had a strong pre-season so far, winning all three of their previous friendly matches against Pergolettese, Lugano, and Las Palmas, the latter played in Cesena. For the upcoming clash, most of the squad will be available, except for striker Mehdi Taremi due to a muscle issue, and a few national team players—Denzel Dumfries, Stefan de Vrij, and Lautaro Martinez—who are still on vacation.
This encounter marks the sixth meeting between the Inzaghi brothers, including friendly and competitive matches. Their first clash took place in 2012, during the Arco di Trento tournament featuring Lazio and Milan. The most recent match between them was in December 2022 in Reggio Calabria. Notably, Filippo has yet to secure a victory over his brother in these encounters.
Fans can look forward to watching the match live on Dazn and Inter TV as the tension and excitement build for this sibling rivalry.
