Inter Milan vs AC Milan Previews, Form and Players to Watch

Inter Milan definitely come into this game with the better form of the two sides, having managed to hold off Erling Haaland in midweek, and keeping their unbeaten start to the season intact.

Recent form doesn’t mean much however when it comes to the Milan Derby, so we'll just have to wait and see whether or not AC Milan can dent Inter’s title ambitions.

Inter Milan Preview

Predicted Lineup: Y. Sommer, B. Pavard, S. de Vrij, C. Augusto, D. Dumfries, D. Frattesi, N. Barella, P. Zielinski, F. Dimarco, M. Thuram, L. Martinez

Inter haven’t been as impressive as they would have liked to have been so far this season, however they have managed to remain unbeaten. Last time out, it took a last minute equaliser from Denzel Dumfries to earn a point against Monza.

Their defence has been pretty solid, as proven by their clean sheet against Manchester City in midweek, having only conceded three times this season. In both of their league wins, they have managed a clean sheet. Both of their wins have also come at home, which is where they’ll be this weekend too.

The player that has impressed us the most for Inter has been Marcus Thuram. The Frenchman has four goals and two assists in just four league matches this season. No one else for Inter has more than one goal.

AC Milan Preview

Predicted Lineup: M. Maignan, Emerson, M. Gabbia, S. Pavlovic, T. Hernandez, T. Reijnders, Y. Fofana, R. Loftus-Cheek, C. Pulisic, T. Abraham, R. Leao

To say that AC Milan have been wasteful this season would be a massive understatement. They have consistently been the better side, but haven’t been able to keep out their opponents. The only expectation was their 4-0 battering of Venezia last week.

They have conceded six goals this campaign, twice as many as Inter, so it is highly unlikely that they will manage to keep a clean sheet when they play their local rivals this weekend.

Christian Pulisic has impressed us in the opening few games for AC Milan. He has managed two goals and two assists in the league so far this season and another goal in their Champions League defeat to Liverpool in midweek.

Final Prediction

Inter Milan 3-1 AC Milan

Both sides score goals, but just one manages to keep goals out. Inter have the better team all round and while AC Milan could pose a threat on the counter attack, Inter will be too clinical for them.
