Milan vs Inter: match preview
We are set for a clash between two of the leaders in Italy’s Serie A championship. Both teams are battling for the title, although one of them currently holds a significant points advantage.
It is the hosts who need to win this match. Milan currently have 57 points after 27 rounds. They defeated Cremonese 2–0 in their last outing, but dropped points in matches before that. As a result, the Rossoneri now trail the league leaders by ten points.
Inter have been performing very well in Serie A in recent matches. Cristian Chivu’s side have won their last eight league matches and are unbeaten in 15 consecutive games. Incidentally, Inter’s last defeat came against Milan. The Nerazzurri have collected 67 points after 27 rounds.
Therefore, Milan need a victory if they want to at least intensify the title race. A draw would not be a bad result for Inter, but if they win, the team will extend their lead to 13 points, which would certainly make their path to the Scudetto much easier.
Probable line-ups
- Milan: Maignan; Tomori, De Winter, Pavlovic; Saelemaekers, Fofana, Modric, Rabiot, Bartesaghi; Pulisic, Leao
- Inter: Sommer; Bisseck, Akanji, Bastoni; Henrique, Barella, Calhanoglu, Zielinski, Dimarco; Thuram, Esposito
Prediction
A fierce clash between two teams who are currently the main favourites for the Serie A title. I suggest a bet on both teams to score.
