Serie A: Inter Milan vs AC Milan live
Preview
The first Milan Derby of the year in Serie A kicks off today at the Giuseppe Meazza when Inter Milan host city rivals AC Milan. The match is scheduled to kick off at 7:45 pm(GMT) with Davide Massa as referee. With both clubs struggling to climb higher up the table, today’s encounter presents a great opportunity for either side to secure three points.
Inter sit second in the league with 40 points after 20 games. Simeone Inzagh’s men have won four of their last five competitive matches, keeping three clean sheets and scoring seven. In their last outing, Inter won 1-0 against Atalanta thanks to Matteo Darmian’s strike to secure a place in the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia. With eight wins in their ten home matches so far, La Beneamata should be hopeful of a good performance against a struggling AC Milan.
The Rossoneri sit 6th in Serie A with 38 points after 20 matches. Milan are without a win in each of their last five outings, losing four and drawing one. Their last match was a disappointing 5-2 home defeat to Sassuolo, piling up more pressure on the defending champions. Without a clean sheet in the league since November, Stefano Pioli’s side must be excellent in their approach today if they are to salvage a point.
Head-to-head
The last five meetings between Inter and AC Milan have seen two wins for each side and a goalless draw. Their last meeting was a fortnight ago when Inter won 3-0 in the Italian Super Cup. Federico Dimarco, Edin Dzeko, and Lautaro Martinez scored on the day.
Prediction
Inter Milan have been impressive since the league resumed after the World Cup break. With just one defeat in their last ten competitive matches, Inzaghi’s men should be confident of the win today. AC Milan, on the other hand, are struggling to secure points over the past few weeks. Without a win since the first match of the year, Milan must produce an excellent performance if they are to secure all three points. A win for Inter is the most probable outcome.
