Milan vs Inter Prediction

🔊 What will be the outcome of the next Milan derby? In the current season, Milan and Inter have faced each other on the football field twice, and on both occasions, the "Rossoneri" came out stronger. Fans will not forgive Simone Inzaghi's team if they fail to achieve a positive result in the upcoming clash. We recommend checking out our prediction before placing a bet on the match of the 23rd round of Serie A, which will take place at San Siro.

📊 Head-to-head

In head-to-head encounters, Inter has a total advantage. Over a stretch of 44 matches, Milan achieved a positive result in 13 cases, while the "Nerazzurri" recorded 23 victories. However, this season is an exception: both meetings ended in favor of Milan. And let's not forget that in the last game, which took place in early January, Simone Inzaghi's team managed to lose (2-3) after leading 2-0, gifting their arch-rival the Italian Super Cup.

🔴 Milan

Despite winning a trophy (the Italian Super Cup) after Sergio Conceicao's appointment as head coach, Milan still struggles to find stability. The team often snatches victories through sheer determination rather than quality of play. In the previous Serie A round, the "Rossoneri" managed to beat Parma 3-2, even though the scoreboard showed 1-2 in the 92nd minute. Fans were particularly disappointed with the game against Dinamo Zagreb (1-2), which took place recently in the final round of the Champions League. Due to this unexpected defeat, the team fell out of the top-8 and now must play two extra matches in the 1/16 finals of the playoffs. Regarding the upcoming clash, the coaching staff will not be able to rely on 5 players, including key midfielder Youssouf Fofana (accumulation of yellow cards).

🔵 Inter

Inter quickly recovered after losing the Italian Super Cup final. The team is on a streak of 4 victories, and in the last 2 matches, they have shown such a high level of football that even the club's haters can't find grounds for criticism. On January 20th, the "Nerazzurri" thrashed Lecce away (4-0), and a few days later left no trace of Monaco, one of the best teams in the French championship (3-0). Lautaro Martinez finally started scoring - he netted 3 goals against the "Monégasques". As for the title race, Inter is still trailing Napoli by 3 points with one match in hand. In the upcoming clash, 3 players will be unavailable, but these losses are not significant (Joaquin Correa, Francesco Acerbi, and Raffaele Di Gennaro).

⚽️ Prediction on goals

Recently, Milan derbies have been very entertaining and eventful. Both meetings that took place this season were no exception. In the first-round match, for example, Milan snatched victory thanks to a goal by Matteo Gabbia in the 89th minute (2-1). The Italian Super Cup final was even more thrilling: the "Rossoneri" came back from 0-2 to win the trophy (3-2). Therefore, the most reliable betting option is both teams to score (yes).

🚩 Prediction on corners

Milan and Inter are among the best teams in Serie A by the number of corners earned. In this statistical parameter, they rank fourth and third respectively. Both teams approach the corner flag an average of 6 times per game. In this situation, you can opt for total corners over 9.5, especially since in the Italian Super Cup final, the "Nerazzurri" and "Rossoneri" earned 10 corners combined.

📝 Editor's prediction

Despite Milan winning both head-to-head meetings this season, bookmakers consider Inter as the clear favorite for the upcoming clash. We believe that on their third attempt, the "Nerazzurri" will finally succeed. Currently, there is a huge gap between these teams. If the "Rossoneri" can't beat weaker opponents like Dinamo Zagreb (1-2) and Cagliari (1-1), Simone Inzaghi's team is showing incredible strength and demolishing everyone in their path. Even in the last head-to-head meeting in January during the Italian Super Cup, the game was under "Nerazzurri" control. The team simply allowed themselves to relax after scoring their second goal, thinking that the match outcome was decided, and paid for it. But they won't make the same mistake twice. Therefore, our main betting option is Inter to win. The most likely score for the upcoming clash is 1-2.
