AC Milan vs Inter Milan Prediction
Last season, AC Milan lost to Inter in the derby in April which clinched the title for Inter and their 20th Scudetto, thus second star upon the badge. This season, though, Internazionale have suffered just two defeats in 32 matches across all competitions with both of those defeats coming against Milan. Since winning the Italian Super Cup in early January, Milan have underperformed ever since and have been underwhelming despite the appointment of the aforementioned Conceicao. Inter, on the other hand, are one of the favourites for the UEFA Champions League and their 3-0 defeat of Monaco in midweek backed up a 4-0 hammering of Lecce in Apulia last weekend to show they are beginning to move through the gears and a good value bet would be to side with the nominal away team at San Siro.
