As part of the Italian Cup semi-finals, a clash between Milan and Inter will take place. The match is scheduled for Wednesday, April 2, with kick-off at 21:00 Central European Time. I suggest betting on the game's goal-scoring potential.
Match preview
Milan continues to struggle, and it seems Sergio Conceição is not managing to turn things around. The team put on a dismal first-half performance against Napoli last weekend, only to improve after the break but ultimately ended up empty-handed.
The Portuguese coach is under heavy criticism, with Roberto De Zerbi rumored to be his replacement. With eight matches left in the season, the Rossoneri are languishing in ninth place, risking missing out on European competitions.
Inter remains competitive across all tournaments and is performing quite well. Simone Inzaghi's squad is keeping Napoli at bay, maintaining a three-point lead over the second spot.
Lautaro Martinez continues to battle injuries, which has noticeably affected his scoring output. However, this hasn't impacted the overall picture, as Inter is the most prolific club in Serie A.
Match facts
- Milan has both scored and conceded in seven consecutive matches.
- Inter has won the last five encounters.
- Milan averages 1.6 goals per game at home, while Inter averages 1 goal per game away.
Probable lineups
- Milan: Maignan, Hernandez, Pavlovic, Gabbia, Walker, Fofana, Musah, Reijnders, Leao, Pulisic, Jimenez.
- Inter: Sommer, Pavard, Bastoni, Acerbi, Dimarco, Darmian, Frattesi, Barella, Çalhanoğlu, Thuram, Martinez.
H2H
Inter has failed to defeat their fierce rivals in three consecutive matches.
Prediction
Inter is rightfully considered the favorite, but Conceição has yet to lose a derby while leading Milan. I anticipate an action-packed game and will bet on both teams to score.
