The Milan derby at the iconic San Siro Stadium will be among the top matches to follow this weekend. Inter Milan will be the hosts, welcoming AC Milan in the first derby of the season. Read on for our prediction of this match.
In recent times Inter Milan have established dominance in this key fixture in Italian football. Coming from a defiant performance away to Manchester City in the Champions League will fire up the hosts.
In a repeat of the 2023 Champions League final, Inter Milan met City in midweek. A well-planned performance saw the Italian champions hold the English champions to a 0-0 draw.
Going into this game, Inter Milan will be seeking a seventh straight win against Milan.
In the corresponding fixture last season, AC Milan suffered a 5-1 defeat at the hands of their bitter rivals. It isn’t a secret that this is no longer the feisty Milan derby of the years gone, and dipping standards at AC haven't helped with its brand.
AC Milan have been struggling and even to this match they come off the back of a disappointing night in Europe. While Inter were battling Manchester City away, Milan folded and were thumped at home by Liverpool.
Losing 3-1 in their Champions League opener will surely worry Milan supporters, their team having won this derby last in 2022. It is not just that, Milan have only one win in their five matches this season. That was against newly promoted Venezia.
Four times in five matches, they’ve conceded two or more goals.
AC Milan have lost their gloss and are no longer a threat to Inter Milan when it comes to this Milan derby. This season they’ve been poor, and especially in defence, conceding in all but one of their last five matches.
In their last five matches alone, Milan conceded nine goals. On the other hand, Inter Milan come here with three clean sheets in four matches and six straight wins against Milan. Simone Inzaghi’s charges will be outright favorites here.
Our prediction for Inter Milan v AC Milan is for Inter Milan to win.
