Inter and Milan are clashing at Giuseppe Meazza in a Derby Della Madonnina in round 24 of the Italian Serie A. Inter are undefeated in their last 8 games, and they are at the top of the table with 53 points. Milan is in third place with just 4 points behind Inter, but they also have a game more played.
Inter is the best offensive team in the league with 53 scored goals, and they are also one of the best defensive teams with only 17 conceded goals in 22 games. In addition to having a great season in Serie A, Inter is doing a solid job in Coppa Italia where they will face Roma, and in the Champions League as well where they will face Liverpool in a couple of weeks. Inter’s next 4 games will be hard, but with the talent and the form they are in, Inter is definitely the favorite in all of those games. Martinez is the leading goalscorer for Inter with 11 goals, while Dzeko has added 9 goals. Calhanoglu and Barella have each added 7 assists. Inter has signed Gosens in the January transfer window, but he is still injured. Correa is also injured. As I’ve mentioned, Inter has a few tough games ahead, but they are a strong team on both ends, and they can get some points out of those games.
Milan had a couple of chances to take over the top of the table in Serie A recently, but they haven’t won any of their last 2 games, and they dropped to 3rd place. Milan has 49 points, they have scored 47 goals, but their defense is far worse than Inter’s is. The good news for Milan is they were able to get a point against Juventus just before the break, but the bad news is their offense hasn’t been very effective. Kjaer is now the only injured player for Milan, but Toure is still on the African Cup of Nations. Ibrahimovic is the leading goalscorer for Milan with 8 goals, while Leao added 6 goals. Hernandez has 5 assists. I like Milan, they are my team in Serie A, but even though they are improving greatly over the last few seasons, Milan is still very far away from their golden age. Milan also has a few tough games ahead, but the positive is they are not playing in Europe anymore, and that will give them a chance to focus more on Serie A.
This is one of the biggest derbies in Serie A, and Inter is still undefeated at home, but Milan has only 1 loss on the road so far this season. These derbies between Inter and Milan are usually entertaining, and there is no home-field advantage as both teams are playing in the same stadium. I will go with goals in this one.
