It is once again time for the Derby della Madonnina – a fixture that always promises to be exciting and worth watching. Inter will ”host” their bitter city rivals and fellow San Siro tenants AC Milan in a match that could prove to have a deciding nature in the battle for the Scudetto.
Inter Milan Team News
After a hard-fought draw in England against Manchester City, Inter will have to turn their gaze to the domestic front, as one of the most heated derbies worldwide is next on their menu. In Serie A, Simone Inzhaghi’s men are undefeated, but this good record comes with a grain of salt as The Nerrazzuri have failed to win any of their 2 away fixtures of the season and have secured victories only at home. Yet, there is a sufficient platform to build upon, especially after the favourable result in England. Another thing to note is that as hosts, Inter have not conceded a goal in Serie A yet.
AC Milan Team News
Milan’s campaign is not unfolding as many would have hoped and there’s already talk of sacking Paulo Fonseca from the managerial spot, with one of the potential candidates being ex-Borussia Dortmund manager Edin Terzic. Since the start of the season, Milan have recorded just 1 win – a 4-0 win over Venezia, which was the team’s last league game. The Rossoneri will head into the derby with Inter on the back of another disappointing result, albeit this time in the Champions League – the 1-3 midweek loss to Liverpool. With an injury to first-choice goalkeeper Mike Maignan, the task of Paulo Fonseca and his men against Inter seems like a daunting one
Head-to-Head-Games
In recent years, Inter have had complete dominance in the Derby della Madonnina as The Nerrazzuri have won all of the last 6 editions of this fixture. The most recent 2 have seen plenty of goals scored and have also produced goals from both teams, yet it was Inter who took the points at the end of each.

Inter Milan – AC Milan Betting Prediction
It is do or die for Milan, but their recent form might not instil much confidence in them. Neither is the fact that Inter have dominated this derby in recent years. Yet, in the past 2 editions, both teams managed to score and I suspect that this will be the case again. For all of their mishaps, Milan’s issues are primarily in the defence and they manage to score regularly. Despite a good defensive performance during mid-week, Inter have also conceded a fair share of goals in Seria A. Thus, my pick here will be for both teams to score.
