AC Milan are looking to rise into the European football slots when they host Inter Milan in the Serie A this Sunday. Starting the week on 34 points, Milan are seventh, 16 points behind second placed Inter. Read on for our prediction of this match.
This will be the third meeting of the season between these two sides, and Milan won each of the first two. These wins halted Inter Milan’s dominance that by then read six straight wins against AC Milan.
As they look to make it three straight derby wins, Milan look to bounce from a shock 2-1 loss at Dinamo Zagreb.
Inter Milan are coming into this game on a more solid run and will be eyeing revenge for their back-to-back defeats. In their Champions League outing, they claimed a 3-0 win at home to Monaco.
With that result they completed the league phase as the strongest defensively, having conceded just once in eight. Inter have only lost once in Serie A this season, it is this same opponent they are facing who inflicted the defeat.
They come here on four straight wins and in a perfect condition to get back at their city rivals. Inter have five straight away wins, all with clean sheets.
They say derbies give no respect to recent form but here we expect that to be defied. Inter Milan are on a good run coming into this game and there’s a feeling they’ll stop Milan for the first time this season.
With a lot to play in this game, we expect Inter Milan’s run to carry them through. They have also been in good shape defensively. Our prediction for AC Milan v Inter Milan is for Inter Milan to emerge winners.
