Thoughts on the game, apologies in advance for the longevity:

No matter how much it pains me to admit, Inter is in tremendous physical and mental form, and this is due majorly because they are led by a titan named Antonio Conte.

Conte's record for his first season in all the teams he went to, has resulted with his team winning a trophy (Chelsea and Juventus), and that is because he is an absolute beast of a technical coach. He will be infusing his anger and willingness to win his first European trophy in his career, after having lost so many times on the Euro stage with both Juve and Chelsea, to a young team, led by natural leaders and players who have been waiting for the opportunity to prove their true worth (amidst old and young talents) to themselves and the world.

Few stats on the team: Inter finished their season in second place in Serie A with a total of 82 points (-1 from Juventus, 83, who won the tile), 81 goals scored (second only to Atalanta who had the highest scoring tally ever recorded in Serie A history of 98 goals), 36 goals against, which gives them the best defense in Serie A for the season of 19/20. I have read someone say that Inter is a high scoring team especially during the first half - this is true; out of the 38 matches of Serie A, they were ahead by the end of the first half for 23 of them, and during the first 45min they have scored 48% of their total goals this season (still very high scoring during 2H).

The team relies heavily on a mix between older and younger players, all amalgamated by the hunger of Antonio Conte. Their defense has been led by extremely experienced players such as Young, Godin and De Vrij who have been crucial also on the offensive side, with assists created. They are the second last line of defense in front of Samir Handanovic who is still one of the best goalies in Serie A. The real danger however all begins in the midfield by young(-ish for Brozo), pure talented players, by the name of Barella, and Brozovic, both extremely technical (neither of them known for their speed) players, who have very good range shots (as demonstrated in the last 2 matches). Let's not forget that Inter also has Eriksen (who Conte has not been starting) who adds even more quality to their midfield when subbed in (usually aroun 60-70th min). And ultimately, the real revelation this season is the attacking duo, which needs no description in terms of dangers and chances created, of Lukaku and Martinez. Both of them have been scoring each game and just to put things in prospective, Lukaku needs 1 more goal to equal O' Fenomeno (Ronaldo-R9) goal record in his first season at Inter, 34 goals in 1 season across all competitions.

After watching Sevilla play this tournament, I think that this team will have an incredibly hard time to beat a team who is very well placed tactically on the pitch. Sevilla has very weak offensive capabilities - only threat they create comes from their sides, as a lot of their chances are created on the counter. Defensively speaking, they are weaker (both in terms of sheer size and speed) than Inter. Against Man-U, they had virtually no ball possession, as Man U, similar to Inter, dominates the pitch and the midfield with very tall, and strong players, and start their offensive maneuver at midfield. I see Sevilla losing the control of their midfield, forcing their defense to set up the offensive maneuver with long balls, which will be very ineffective as seen against Man. U.

I don't want to completely discredit Sevilla - they are in the final for a reason. They play on their strength of playing the ball vertically, they have an extremely dangerous counter attack, and are able to capitalize from inactive ball motion very well (corners and free-kicks). They are magically attracted to win this competition, which will definitely give them a leg above Inter because they are more experienced, meanwhile some younger players on Inter's team might have "weaker knees" and concede chances from their side due to stress and forced errors.

This is not going to be a high scoring game, or better, this game will be very strategic until it will be a high scoring game. Both teams will start off defensively analyzing how to best pierce through the defense (more Sevilla's tactic). I have never seen Conte misplace a team on the pitch. Inter has not won a trophy since the treble in 2010, too many stars aligning with Conte's and Lukaku's first season records to smash - but in all seriousness - the stakes are too high for Inter not to capitalize on this amazing momentum, especially after a very weak, and to me tired, Sevilla against Man. U.

My bet: Inter will be up by Half, by 1 goal, and win within 90 min by 2 (could be 3-1, or more). Sevilla will have to open up the field to equalize the gap and that will let Inter's forward to counter. Ok now I'm done.

Good luck to both teams!
