Inter to Win
This will be the 193rd meeting between the sides over the years, it will be the 96th with Inter as the home team. As the hosts, they’ve won 36, Milan have won 27, while 36 have ended in a draw. So, it’s pretty even over the years, even though Inter have held the upper hand over recent seasons.
Inter are in good home form, they’ve lost just one of their last 10 matches in all competitions, while Milan have lost just one of their last 22 on the road in all competitions. We’re going with Inter here though because over their last three matches Milan have only scored two goals. They had to beat Torino on penalties in the last round of the cup, scored two against Cagliari a week later and then lost 0-3 at home to Atalanta at the weekend.
Inter, on the other hand, have six strikes over their last four matches, three of them were away matches and, as mentioned above, having the upper hand against Milan over the last few seasons will give them an extra boost of confidence coming into this match. It’ll be tight, no doubt about that, but we’re backing Inter to prevail here.
Over 3.5 Goals
Three out of the last five meetings with Inter as the home side have seen Over 3.5 goals and both teams are full of goals on their day. Inter are averaging 2.37 goals per league match this season, conceding 1.21.Milan, for their part, are scoring 2.05 and conceding 1.16.
This match is massive, simply massive and had they not been drawn together we would likely have seen rotated sides here. But, as this result could now define where the silverware ends up this season both teams will be fired up and going all out to put their oldest of foes out of the reckoning.
