AC Milan vs Inter Milan preview
Spain has El Clasico, England has North-West Derby, Germany has Der Klassiker, and Italy has Derby di Milano. Last season, the Serie A title race went down to the wire as AC Milan held their cool to win the title over their city rivals Inter Milan. Now they face again at the San Siro stadium for the bragging rights.
Last season, the two teams established a duopoly as the other teams failed to match their intensity. However, this season, they face a challenge from a rejuvenated Juventus, Napoli and even Atalanta. While AC Milan remain undefeated, they are still a point behind Inter due to two draws.
Stefano Pioli’s men have blown hot and cold this season with two wins and two draws. Their last performance against Sassuolo left more to be desired as they struggled to a goalless draw. However, Pioli had rested several key players for the match, which means he will have a fully rested squad for the big game.
Meanwhile, Inter Milan have racked up three wins so far. They started with two consecutive wins over Lecce and Spezia before losing to Lazio in a poor performance. However, they bounced straight back with a 3-1 win over Cremonese.
Like every season, Lautaro Martinez has been the leading man in the attack, while Nicolo Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu have shared the creative responsibility. And with Milan Skriniar staying at the club, the defence is one of the best in Serie A.
AC Milan vs Inter Milan team news
Stefano Pioli masterminded AC Milan’s title bid last season but will be without his best player. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who led the Milan frontline, is still recovering from his knee surgery and could be unavailable for months. In addition, midfielder Rade Krunic and winger Ante Rebic. To make matters worse, Alessandro Florenzi is also out with a muscular injury.
Sergio Dest was signed from FC Barcelona on loan on the deadline day but will not be able to feature in the match. The club will also hope Charles De Ketelaere hits the ground running as quickly as possible.
