Milan vs Inter prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – February 2, 2025
The 23rd round of Serie A will feature the Derby della Madonnina between Milan and Inter. The match is scheduled for Sunday, February 2nd, with kickoff at 18:00 CET. I suggest betting on the goal count of this game.
Match Preview
Milan suffered a defeat in the Champions League midweek, losing 1-0 to Dinamo Zagreb. The game was marred by a red card for Musa, but their 13th-place finish in the group stage was decent. In the upcoming round of 16, Milan will face either Feyenoord or Juventus.
In Serie A, Milan is in 7th place, but they are still very much in the fight for a Champions League spot. The team has shown a lot of desire and character, though they still struggle with consistency in their results.
Inter approaches the derby in great spirits. They defeated Monaco and finished in 4th place in the Champions League, conceding just one goal. "Nerazzurri" secured their place in the round of 16, avoiding two additional matches, which is crucial given the congested schedule.
In Serie A, Inter is 3 points behind Napoli, but they have a match in hand against Fiorentina. It seems that the title race will mainly be between these two teams. Notably, Lautaro Martínez is in excellent form, having scored in five consecutive matches.
