Overview
Serie A will return after the international break this weekend. Both Milan sides are threatening to compete Scudetto with Napoli after a strong start.
Inter Milan in their first season under coach Cristian Chivu are currently leading the rankings with 24 points after 11 matches, only ahead of Roma in terms of goals conceded.
Meanwhile, AC Milan are only 2 points behind them before the direct match at San Siro. Mas similiano Allegri's return to the Rossoneri coaching bench has been quite smooth so far, promising an exciting derby.
The 2-0 victory over Lazio marked Inter's fourth consecutive victory in all competitions. The Chivu side have won 11 of their last 12 games in all competitions, except for a 1-3 defeat to rival Scudetto Napoli in late October.
In this series of matches, Inter scored 28 goals (an average of 2.3 goals per match) and conceded only 7 goals (an average of 0.6 goals per match). They are also one of two clubs - along with Roma - that have not drawn any matches this season in Europe's top five leagues. Inter's most recent draw was against Monterrey at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup on June 18.
Lautaro Martinez has reached the milestone of 10 goals in Serie A for Inter in 2025. He became the fourth player in Inter's history to score twice in seven different calendar years, behind Alessandro Altobelli (7), Benito Lorenzi and Giuseppe Meazza (8).
Martinez has not been in the best form this year, but he has now scored in 2 consecutive matches in all competitions. However, the della Madonnina Derby is often where Martinez shined, as he scored 9 goals in 20 appearances against Milan in all competitions.
The Argentine could become the seventh player to reach double figures in this derby. Previously, Andriy Shevchenko (14), Giuseppe Meazza (13), Gunnar Nordahl, Stefano Nyers (11), Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Enrico Candiani (10) have done this. Only Meazza (6) and Nyers 11. scored more goals for Inter against Rossoneri.
Milan dominated this clash last season, remaining unbeaten in five meetings with Inter in Serie A, Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italia (W3 D2). Before this series, they had lost 6 consecutive derbies.
The Rossoneri have not had a longer unbeaten streak against the same city since 10 consecutive matches from November 2002 to April 2005.
Since Mas similiano Allegri's return, Milan have maintained a stable form with a series of 11 unbeaten matches since the defeat to Cremonese in August (7 wins, 4 draws). This is their longest unbeaten streak since a 13-match streak from April to September 2022, including the Scudetto championship under Stefano Pioli.
Head-to-head record
Inter have struggled in recent confrontations with Milan, as their overall record against their neighbours has not been very positive.
The Nerazzurri have not won in their last 11 matches in all competitions against Milan, Juventus and Napoli since the victory over Milan in April 2024 (5 draws, 6 losses). They have also lost their last 3 matches against Milan with scores of 0-3 in Coppa Italia, 3-4 in Serie A and 1-3 in Serie A.
Milan have won both of their most recent derbies against Inter in all competitions (2-1 in Serie A in September 2024 and 3-0 in Coppa Italia in April 2024), equaling their record of 2 wins in the previous 16 derbies (2 wins, 3 draws, 11 losses).
Now, Milan have the opportunity to win 3 consecutive away matches against Inter for the first time since October 2003 to April 2005.
Score prediction: Inter Milan 2-2 AC Milan
The match between Inter Milan and AC Milan takes place at 2:45 am on November 24 (Vietnam time).
