Internazionale vs AC Milan Preview

Internazionale vs AC Milan

Competition – Serie A

Stadium – Stadio Giuseppe Meazza

Date: 21st October 2018

Kick-off time – 19:30 GMT

This Milan derby may not be a title decider, however, it is as big as they come as these two teams look to continue to climb to the top of Italian football.

Inter host Milan as they prepare to take on Barcelona in midweek, while Milan will be looking to maintain their good start to the season as they come into this game unbeaten in their last 8 games.

Inter made a shaky start to the season, but they have since created some momentum and they come into this game having won all 6 of their last six games in all competitions.

That run has helped them climb inside the top two of their Champions League group, and the top four in Serie A.

They also don’t have goal scoring problems as they have scored two goals in each of their last four games.

Milan have also made stunning start to the season. They have scored in all of their games this season and a good run of results has placed them just three points outside of the top four.

Milan have scored over 2 goals in their last 3 league games and they could find a way past this Inter’s defence that has kept just two clean sheets in their last seven matches.

Five of the last eight Milan derbies in Serie A have finished in a draw (two wins for Inter, one for Milan) – this is as many draws as in their previous 33 encounters.

Bookmakers make Inter Milan slight favourites at home however the odds are extremely close and Milan will undoubtedly have their followers.
