Inter Milan v AC Milan

Inter Milan vs AC Milan Preview

It's also derby day in the Italian top flight on Sunday night when the two Milan giants face off at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza as Inter Milan take on AC Milan with equally valuable three points and derby honours at stake for both clubs; Inter Milan head into this local derby on the back of a 0-0 draw away from home at Manchester City in the Champions League, while AC Milan were handed a heavy 3-0 loss at home to Liverpool in their midweek European clash.

Inter Milan have produced a solid start to their new Serie A campaign as the hosts look to defend last season's Scudetto title this term and having still remained unbeaten after their opening four games with two wins and two draws, Simone Inzaghi's side once again look the team to beat this season.

Early season victories chalked up against the likes of Lecce 2-0 and last season's Europa League winners Atalanta 4-0 along with picking up points on the road at Genoa and Monza in 2-2 and 1-1 stalemates respectively should stand Sunday's hosts in good stead for this local derby clash.

Inter Milan also possess an incredible record in Serie A as the hosts have lost just once in their last 36 matches overall.

AC Milan have not enjoyed early success in this season's Serie A campaign as the ‘visitors' have managed to claim just one win from their opening four games of the new term, that coming in the form of a comprehensive 4-0 home win against newly promoted Venezia last weekend.

However, AC Milan had previously stumbled to picking up two points from their opening three league matches and out of a possible nine points on offer due to being held to draws by Torino and Lazio, both in 2-2 stalemates, along with being handed a disappointing 2-1 loss away from home at Parma as well.

After posting an encouraging and impressive five-match winning streak in Serie A from early March through to early April which encompassed wins against the likes of Lazio, Empoli, Verona, Fiorentina and Lecce respectively, AC Milan's fortunes have taken something of a downward turn.

Indeed, AC Milan have managed to capture just two further league wins in Serie A from their last 11 attempts and having been dealt defeats at the hands of their local rivals, Inter Milan, in a 2-1 loss towards the end of last season together with additional defeats to Torino and Parma, Paulo Fonseca's side look to have their work cut out here this Sunday.
