AC Milan v Inter Milan

AC Milan vs Inter Milan Preview

AC Milan and Inter Milan will do battle once again at the San Siro on Monday night in this Milan derby and although Inter have all but claimed this season's Scudetto, AC Milan still have a mathematical chance of winning the Serie A title and the ‘hosts' would love nothing more than getting one over their old rivals with a win here.

AC Milan sit in second place in the Serie A standings and trail their arch-rivals by a 14-point margin ahead of Monday night's showdown at the San Siro and although AC Milan bring a decent looking seven-match unbeaten sequence into this upcoming local derby, AC Milan know they will need to win every one of their remaining six games if they are to have a realistic chance of catching Inter at the finish line.

Monday night's hosts have won five of these last seven games with victories achieved against the likes of Lazio, Empoli, Verona, Fiorentina and Lecce respectively which gives Stefano Pioli's side a chance of gaining all three points against Inter in this encounter.

With this clash being a local derby though, the goals market looks an attractive proposition as six of AC Milan's last 10 games overall in Serie A have resulted in both teams scoring.

Inter Milan have seemingly run away with this season's Scudetto and only a major disaster now stands between Simone Inzaghi's side lifting the Serie A title crown and being overtaken by their old foes as they hold a commanding 14-point lead at the top of the division ahead of this weekend's action.

Inter deservedly lead the Italian top flight table though as Simone Inzaghi's side have been in imperious form on the domestic front with the ‘away' side putting together an excellent 26-match unbeaten run which has set them up for almost certain honours come the end of the season.

The last time Inter Milan lost a game in Serie A was way back towards the end of September when they were dealt a disappointing and unexpected 2-1 defeat at home by Sassuolo but this loss only served to spur Inter Milan onto greater things.

As both AC Milan and Inter Milan share the San Siro, for all intents and purposes this upcoming clash represents a home game for both teams and Inter Milan are unbeaten in their last 13 games at this venue and also look likely to score as well, as Inter have scored in each of their last 20 games at the San Siro Stadium.

AC Milan v Inter Milan Verdict

Inter Milan have won the last five meetings on the trot against AC Milan but as mentioned previously, this is a local derby and both sides are more than capable of scoring in this encounter.
