Inter Milan will host fierce rivals AC Milan this Sunday in the 178th Serie A edition of the Derby della Madonnina.
Both teams are currently fighting for a place in the top four, having been knocked out of the title race due to their inconsistent form and the brilliance of runaway leaders Napoli.
Inter currently sit in second position but are 13 points behind Napoli. However, they are in better shape than their rivals, having lost just one of their last ten games in all competitions (W7, D2).

Simone Inzaghi’s men have also already defeated AC Milan in 2023, cruising to a 3-0 success in the Supercoppa Italiana in January to avenge their 3-2 loss in the reverse league H2H this season. The Nerazzurri also have a positive record in the all-time H2H with 67 wins (D56, L54) against Milan in the Serie A.
They also boast the joint second-highest points haul on home soil in Serie A this term (24) after Napoli.
AC Milan are in a sorry state, having not won in six games. They are currently on a run of three consecutive defeats where they have conceded 3+ goals.
The Rossoneri, who coasted to the title last season, are looking like a shadow of their former selves but can still get themselves back on their feet with a win here.
If they fail to win this game, it will spell the end of their title quest, as they could be 18 points behind the top at the end of the match day.
To avoid that, Stefano Pioli will have to work on his side’s first-half performances, with only struggling Salernitana, Sampdoria and Cremonese conceding more Serie A goals before half-time this term (15).
So, the best prediction for this tie could be an Over 2.5 Goals.
