Do Or Die – Italian Media Highlight Importance Of Inter Milan’s Upcoming Ten-Day Stretch Against Spezia, Porto & Juventus | OneFootball

Inter will face a huge test for the rest of their season across two different competitions when they play the likes of Spezia, Porto, and Juventus over a ten-day stretch before the international break.

This is highlighted in today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews, who label the run of matches “do or die” for the Nerazzurri.

Apart from their aim of winning the Coppa Italia this season, Inter will have made finishing in the top four of Serie A an absolutely bare minimum objective.

In this sense, they look to have found their feet once again with yesterday’s win over Lecce, but the team can hardly rest on their laurels.

No result can be taken for granted away to relegation-battling Spezia, whilst Juventus at the San Siro will be one of the Nerazzurri’s toughest remaining matches in the league on paper.

These matches could well set the tone for the remainder of Inter’s league campaign, as two wins would put them fully in the driver’s seat in the chase for the Champions League positions, but any slip-ups would immediately raise doubts.

Meanwhile, given that Inter managed to finish the first leg of their Champions League round of sixteen tie against Porto with a 1-0 advantage, they will see reaching the next round of Europe’s top club competition as a major goal.

The quarterfinals are certainly within reach, but the Nerazzurri’s advantage is slender, so there will be a lot of work to do in Portugal.

As with the remaining league fixtures before the winter break, Inter will be playing for a key objective over the rest of the season.
