Inter Milan vs AC Milan

Stadio Giuseppe Meazza forms the backdrop for the latest installment of the famous Derby della Madonnina, with Inter Milan and AC Milan going head-to-head in a mouth-watering Serie A contest.

Inter Milan impressed in their opening Champions League fixture, holding perennial Premier League champions Manchester City to a 0-0 draw at the Etihad to uphold their unbeaten start to 2024/25. However, Inter’s Serie A title defense has been off to an underwhelming start as they’ve dropped points in two of their first four league outings (W2, D2), including a 1-1 draw at Monza last weekend. Simone Inzaghi’s men have been relentless at Giuseppe Meazza, winning both top-flight home matches this term by 2+ goals ‘to nil’ to set themselves up nicely for this potentially landmark occasion. Riding on a six-match winning H2H run against Milan, Inter could become the first team in the storied history of this 115-year rivalry to win seven consecutive meetings.

Unlike the nominal hosts, Milan experienced a false Champions League start, throwing away an early lead in a 3-1 home loss to Liverpool. The pressure mounts on new manager Paulo Fonseca despite a 4-0 thrashing of newcomers Venezia last weekend, with ‘I Rossoneri’ going winless in their opening three Serie A games (D2, L1). Unless he stems the bleeding in this blockbuster fixture, the Portuguese manager could be relieved of his duties by the start of next week. Defensive frailties that have seen Milan concede 2+ goals in four of their five competitive matches this season could be their undoing this weekend. Indeed, they’ve let in at least one first-half goal in eight of their last nine encounters against Inter!
