Inter Milan
Inter Milan are aiming for top spot in Serie A and an early lead in this year’s title race. Despite being pipped to the Scudetto by their Rossoneri rivals in 2022, Inter have since retaliated with a strong performance, scoring first in each of the last 10 derbies across Serie A, Coppa Italia, and Champions League. Simone Inzaghi’s men have made a sharp start to the 2023-24 campaign, winning all three fixtures without conceding a goal, scoring twice against Monza and Cagliari and putting four past Fiorentina. Their resilience could help them reclaim the Scudetto and move one step further in Europe, having missed out on claiming last season’s Champions League crown. As Inter kicks off their continental campaign with a trip to San Sebastian, they will focus on reigning supreme in the Derby della Madonnina.
Considering their dominance in the Serie A, expect that there will be no changes made for this match. However, there are doubts whether Francesco Acerbi, and Juan Cuadrado will play here. Both are still experiencing injuries, but it is likely that they will play in this match.
AC Milan
Milan have won three of their last six league meetings with Inter, as many as in the previous 19 combined. However, they came out second best in their most recent encounter in Serie A, losing 1-0 in early February. Milan now face their city rivals, Inter, who are level on points for the first time since May 2001. Milan’s coach Stefano Pioli has started in top gear this term, with a record of three wins from three. Milan have won each of their first three games for the third time in the last four seasons, as many times as throughout the 29 years beforehand. Despite going down to 10 men in their most recent outing, the Rossoneri rallied to protect a two-goal lead until stoppage time and pulled off a gritty 2-1 victory.
As for AC Milan, they have a healthy squad coming into this match, which will work for their advantage.
