The Italian Serie A has a couple of interesting games this weekend and this Milan derby is one of the most exciting of them all.
These two Italian giants have been underachieving for years and despite new investments in terms of players this season and a good start to the season, they have both struggled recently especially Inter Milan.
Inter’s 2-0 win over Benevento last time out did not exactly show that they are back to their best and this game could see them fall out of the top four if they suffer a loss, while Milan could get closer to the top four with a win as they are just 7 points adrift of 4th placed Inter Milan.
AC Milan’s recent form has improved greatly with Genaro Gattuso guiding them to the final of the Coppa Italia and Europa League last 16.
They head into this game off the back of a 13 games unbeaten run and they are unbeaten in six matches at the San Siro, winning 7 of their last 9 there.
In 12 games under Gattuso, they have averaged 2 points per game, while Inter Milan have averaged 1.25 points per game within the same period of time.
Mauro Icardi has not scored in his last 6 games and that bad form has affected Inter Milan who have only won once against Milan in their last 5 meetings.
