Inter Milan vs AC Milan
Italian Serie A
Date: 5 February 2022, Saturday
Kick-off at 17:00 UK / 18:00 CET
Venue: Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (Milano).
A real buzz is expected in and around Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on Saturday afternoon as bitter city rivals Inter Milan and AC Milan take on each other in Derby della Madonnina.
AC Milan will be hoping to make the entire competition much more exciting with a victory here, but it will be much easier said than done knowing that Inter have only lost one match since the beginning of the season.
Inter Milan are four points clear off Napoli and AC Milan who share the second place in the Serie A ladder at the moment.
They somehow found the late winner against relegation strugglers Venezia in the previous round thanks to Edin Dzeko.
Dzeko and Lautaro Martinez have combined for 20 goals so far in the season. They will be the main threat to AC Milan’s net on Saturday.
Nevertheless, Inter’s attacking line will be on a big challenge here because their bitter rivals have offered an extraordinary defensive display in the previous round’s goalless draw to Juventus.
AC Milan limited Juve to a grand total of zero shorts on target two weeks ago at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.
Inter Milan vs AC Milan Head-to-head
- The first Derby della Madonnina of the season ended in a 1-1 draw.
- Both teams were on target in all but one of the last five head to head clashes between the two rivals.
- Inter Milan have been much more successful of late, winning six of the previous eight affairs against AC Milan.
Inter Milan vs AC Milan Prediction
It is never easy to predict the outcome of a city derby, but almost everything is points towards Inter’s victory here. The “nominal hosts” won six, drew one, and lost one of the last eight meetings with AC Milan. They also have a brutal record of 16 wins, 5 draws, and only 1 defeat in 22 league matches so far in the season.
Besides the home win (paid at the odds of 1.80), we will also go with the Both Teams To Score option at the 1.61 odds knowing that this scenario has happened in four of the last five H2H matches between these two teams.
