AC Milan vs Inter Prediction & Betting Tips (8 March)

Disappointing during the previous year, AC Milan has regained color under the orders of Massimiliano Allegri this season. The Rossoneri have long been in the fight for the Scudetto but ultimately failed to keep up with the pace set by... Inter. They currently occupy 2nd place in Serie A with 10 points behind the leader and 9 ahead of 5th place, which does not qualify for the next Champions League. Beaten by Cremonese on the first day, Adrien Rabiot's teammates then went 24 games without defeat in the league, 15 wins and 9 draws. They ended this incredible series by losing at home to Parma 0-1. Last weekend, AC Milan resumed its march forward on the Cremonese field 0-2. Italian champion in 2024 and runner-up to Napoli last year, Inter is in a very good position to win the Scudetto this season.

Indeed, the Nerazzurri take the lead in Serie A with 10 lengths ahead of their opponent of the day. They conceded their last defeat in the league against... AC Milan at the end of November 0-1. Uncompromising since then, Christian Chivu's men have just completed 15 matches without losing, 14 wins and 1 draw. Held in check at home by Napoli 2-2, they then dominated Lecce 1-0, Udinese 0-1, Pisa 6-2, Cremonese 0-2, Sassuolo 0-5, Juventus 3-2, Lecce 0-2 and Genoa last weekend 2-0. The elimination that occurred against Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League play-off 2-5 after the two-way matches is, however, a big disappointment. 

For this meeting, AC Milan must do without the important defender Gabbia, the potentially starting midfielder Loftus-Cheek (3 goals in SA) and the replacement striker Gimenez, all insufficiently recovered from their physical problems. On the last day, Portuguese international Leao (9 goals and 2 assists in SA) stood out by shaking the nets. He was associated with Pulisic (8 goals and 2 assists in SA) while the other attackers Nkunku (5 goals and 3 assists in SA) and Fullkrug (1 goal in SA) came into play. In the midfield, we should find Modric (2 goals and 3 assists in SA), Fofana and Rabiot (4 goals and 4 assists in SA). The French goalkeeper Maignan is the captain of the Rossoneri. On the Inter side, the essential captain Lautaro Martinez (14 goals and 4 assists in SA) is missing.

He was joined in the infirmary by the young French striker Bonny (5 goals and 3 assists in SA). Christian Chivu should therefore trust Thuram (7 goals and 3 assists in SA) and Esposito (4 goals and 4 assists in SA) to compose his offensive duo. Recovered from his injury, the important midfielder Calhanoglu (8 goals and 2 assists in SA) scored on the last day as did the very influential left piston Dimarco (6 goals and 14 assists in SA). Note that Inter has by far the best attack in the championship.
