Milan won the Scudetto last season and looked well placed to challenge runaway leaders Napoli a few weeks ago. However, they can now forget about a title challenge and instead focus on trying to maintain a spot in the top four this season. Indeed, the Rossoneri currently sit in fifth place after a slump which puts a lot of pressure on the team for the weekend fixture.
The bookies make Milan the big outsiders to claim a victory over an Inter side who are in much better shape right now. There was that recent 3-0 win against the same opponents in the Italian Super Cup and Inter are now second in the standings. Simone Inzaghi’s side have only lost one of their past nine matches and claimed a 2-1 victory at Cremonese on Saturday.
Lautaro Martinez was on target with a brace in that clash and the Argentine could hold the key to success against Milan, with the bookies offering around evens when you compare Italian football odds. Indeed, they had ten shots on target in that most recent clash although that did come after a surprise 1-0 reverse at home to Empoli.
One way of backing Inter could be to back the favourites and both teams to score. Milan will aim to get on the front foot and they do have dangerous attacking weapons of their own. Alternatively, Over 2.5 Goals has now happened in the past four matches involving the Rossoneri and could be the value play in this encounter.
