Agreed. Derby matches will always be different because they have a different atmosphere and derby matches are certainly full of prestige even though Milan in Serie A is ranked 7th and Inter Milan is in second place but that does not mean that Inter will easily win this derby, it could even be the opposite AC Milan will win, especially because this match is played at the San Siro.
In addition, the player Walker who has just been brought in from Man City on loan is very likely to make his debut with AC Milan in this derby. Of course Conceicao will consider playing Walker in the derby considering that he cannot play in the UCL league. In addition, Milan is currently ranked 7th in the Serie A standings with 34 points, and is 16 points behind Inter who is in second place, of course they want to get points to be able to reduce the points difference with the top four. So I will bet over in this match, because both teams will score goals, especially in the last meeting Milan won over Inter.
Are the Milan players planning a surprise at San Siro? Maybe, but let's not forget the climb up here. Inter is not only in second place, but they have also played very well this season. For 16 points, the difference isn't just in numbers; it's also in form, mindset, and depth. Even though the derby always makes things more exciting, it seems like too much to ask of Walker, who is on loan from Man City and hasn't even had time to get to know the rest of the team. The Derby della Madonnina is happening here, not a backyard start
You also want both teams to score? This season, Inter's defense has only let in 13 goals, so it's not a bad one. When Onana left, Sommer took over right away. If Milan doesn't do something amazing, I think Inter will control the middle of the field and strike with accuracy. There is always drama in a derby, but let's be honest: Inter's stability is stronger right now than Milan's desperation
That's right, it cannot be denied that in fact Inter Milan has more advantages than AC Milan at this time. On paper, Inter Milan is certainly more favored in the Derby della Madonnina match, not to underestimate AC Milan, and it does not mean that AC Milan has no chance of winning. We know the long history of the rivalry between the two teams in Serie A, their meetings always present entertainment that is very worthy of waiting for, regardless of the strength of the two teams which currently look unbalanced.
In terms of goal productivity and the number of goals conceded, Inter Milan is far superior to AC Milan, this further strengthens the assumption that Simone Inzaghi squad is more worthy of being favored. However, it takes a lot of consideration if you want to bet on the derby match, but I predict both teams can score goals. On the other hand, their journey in the Champions League may be very tiring, so it can have an impact on the performance of both teams in the derby match.
