One of the greatest derbies in the world is the one in the city of Milan. Inter and AC Milan will meet this weekend at their joint stadium. Those who support Inter call it Giuseppe Meazza, while AC Milan’s fans named the stadium San Siro. That’s how much these two sides don’t like one another.
The intro for this meeting was completely the opposite for these two sides. While Inter managed to stay unbeaten in Manchester against City, AC Milan suffered a nasty loss at home to Liverpool. Overall, the respective starts to the season were different, as Inter looks superb and Milan pretty pale. Head coach Fonseca is already under heavy criticism, and many regret Stefano Pioli’s departure.

Inter Milan vs. AC Milan Predictions
Inter was brave and confident against Manchester City at the Etihad past Wednesday. It was 0-0, but Nerazzurri showed its quality, not just by defending well but also by attacking the Citizens. They posed a consistent threat, creating several scoring opportunities that they haven’t converted into goals.
The backline was ferocious, stopping all the City’s attacks. We also need to mention the tactical discipline of the midfielders in this one. This defensive masterclass marks Inter’s fourth clean sheet in their last five fixtures this season.
The Nerazzurri have secured two victories this year, both of which came at their fortress, the San Siro. They defeated Lecce 2-0 and then overpowered the Europa League winners, Atalanta, with a resounding 4-0 triumph.
On the other side of Milan, AC Milan kicked off their clash against Liverpool in spectacular fashion. Pulisic struck early, giving the Rossoneri an early lead. However, that was the extent of their success as the seven-time UCL champions saw the Reds wrest control of the game, ultimately netting three goals past Maignan and squandering several other chances.
All of Milan’s five matches this season have been high-scoring affairs, each featuring at least three goals, though this fixture marked the only one to end shy of four goals. Notably, both teams found the back of the net in four of these contests.
Paulo Fonseca is beginning to feel the pressure as his tenure could hinge significantly on the outcome of the impending Derby della Madonnina. He got several good signing this summer, but in return, Fonseca didn’t respond with good results. Furthermore, they are below the worst expectations.
Inter Milan vs. AC Milan Head to Head
There were 239 matches between Inter and AC Milan. Nerazzurri won in 91, Milan in 79, and 69 saw draws.

Inter Milan vs. AC Milan Prediction
Inter is in much better form than AC Milan, and the results confirm that. Plus, the morale of the respective units is contrasting because Inzaghi and the boys came back from Manchester filled with optimism after the game against City. If they could compete with one of the three best teams in Europe on the road, why not beat a much weaker team in its own home?
Milan’s situation is far worse. The pressure is growing, and we are sure the players aren’t happy either. For the moment, things haven’t escalated, but they might after this event.
All in all, Inter is our pick here because of all the above stated. Nerazzurri are a better team and that’s it.
