This season's preliminary round of the UEFA Europa League, with Manchester City and Inter Milan facing each other, is the exciting start that UEFA has been waiting for with the introduction of the new system. The old system of the UEFA Europa League, which pitted the Serie A champions against the Premier League giants, has been a repeat of the final two years ago.
Looking back at the final two years ago, both sides were cautious, and it is expected to be the same in this clash. Manchester City have started the new season with an unstoppable momentum, but they will have to hold back when they face Arsenal next week.
Not to be overlooked is the amazing form of Aynin Chalant. He's scoring Premier League goals at a much faster rate this season than in the previous two seasons, with nine goals in four games. As I mentioned earlier, he benefited from the summer break to recover. Fittingly, he has returned stronger and more agile, posing a huge threat to the rest of the Premier League and Europe.
Inter Milan are also undefeated in Serie A and are currently in third place. Nadal Martins has been at the center of the team's scoring and is expected to be the top scorer by the end of the season. However, Magus Dulin have started the season in better form, breaking through like Ennincharlant in back-to-back games, contributing four goals in their first four games.
This is a fascinating matchup that will showcase the different styles of the two teams. Manchester City prefers to press with the ball, while Inter Milan specializes in defensive counter-attacks. Although Inter Milan only ranked fourth in terms of possession in Serie A last season, they scored the most goals, which proves coach Szymon Nszczewski's confidence in this tactic.
We're predicting an even match, but City will have the last laugh thanks to their home ground advantage.
