One of the biggest games in European soccer takes place at the San Siro this weekend, as Inter Milan and AC Milan lock horns in the first Milan derby of the new season. But, which team will land maximum points in the first huge game of the Serie A season?
Before Betting On Inter Milan vs AC Milan
It has been a strong start to the season for both the Milan giants, as both Inter and AC come into this fixture sporting perfect records after winning each of their opening three matches. However, Inter currently lead the way in the standings, as they have scored eight goals without conceding in the competition so far this term.
Inter’s chances this weekend will also be improved based on the fact that they have won each of their last four against their rivals without conceding a goal. They have never won five straight Derbies in their history, while their current run ensures that they have gone four matches against Milan without conceding for the first time in history.
However, it has been a slightly different story in the league, as Milan have won three of their last six against Inter. That is as many wins as they had recorded in the previous 19 encounters between the sides. Draws have been a common trend in this fixture, as Milan are the side that Inter have drawn more games against than any other side in Serie A.
Interestingly, this will be the first time that the two rivals have clashed in the league while being level on points since May 2001. On that occasion, AC Milan ran out stunning 6-0 winners. This is only the second time in history that they have clashed with both sides sitting top of the standings with the same number of points.
Inter Milan vs AC Milan Offshore Odds & Pick
Inter’s record is exceptionally challenging to overlook when making picks this weekend. We will be siding with the team with home advantage, as they have scored at least once in each of their last eleven home matches against AC Milan.
