It’s all set for the Derby della Madonnina as bitter Milano rivals take on each other in the last game of Sunday’s Serie A schedule at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. Inter are the reigning champions and massive favourites to defend the crown this time around.
However, they started the season with two draws in the opening four rounds. Wins in the other two matches kept them in high third place of the league table.
The Nerazzurri boosted the confidence after a dismal showing in a 1-1 draw at Monza last weekend by holding Manchester City to a goalless draw on the opening day of the Champions League.
Simone Inzaghi can be thrilled with the defensive performance his men have put up against such a strong rival on Wednesday evening at Etihad Stadium.
On the other side, AC Milan did not have as much luck against another English heavyweight in the elite continental competition.
They fell 1-3 at home to Liverpool on Tuesday night, revealing plenty of defensive woes, especially on set pieces on the occasion.
Inter Milan vs AC Milan Prediction
AC Milan have managed just a single win in the first five matches in all competitions. They have allowed six goals in four Serie A clashes and they shipped three more in the Champions League opener on the home patch.
This will be the music to the ears of Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram, and company. Inter Milan should have plenty of chances in the final third on Sunday.
Also, the Nerazzurri will go into this on the back of six straight wins over AC Milan in all competitions. Inter Milan have put seven goals past their fierce local enemies in two head-to-head encounters in the previous Serie A term.
