Overview
After successfully defeating Bayern Munich to advance to the Champions League semi-finals, Inter Milan surprisingly lost to Bologna in the most recent match. However, the Nerazzurri are still confident ahead of the Milan derby when they return home.
Coach Simone Inzaghi's team has been unbeaten at Giuseppe Meazza since October 2024. During that time, they have won 9 and drawn 1.
In the last 10 home matches, Inter Milan scored a total of 25 goals, an average of 2.5 goals/match. Despite the absence of Marcus Thuram due to injury, Nerazzurri is still in the final form with Lautaro Martinez with 21 goals and 6 assists in all competitions this season. In addition, factors like Arnautovic and Calhanoglu also know how to speak up in Coppa Italia.
Meanwhile, AC Milan just suffered a defeat against Atalanta, thereby getting further away from a ticket to the Champions League next season. This defeat once again showed the instability of coach Conceicao's team in the recent period when they have only won 1/5 of their most recent matches.
The Rossoneri's defense has been uncertain, conceding goals in 10/11 recent matches in all competitions, contributing significantly to the team's unstable performance.
In terms of head-to-head record, the Rossoneri are unbeaten in all four meetings this season. They beat Inter Milan 3-2 to win the Italian Super Cup in January this year before a 1-1 draw in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final.
Personnel situation
Inter Milan will not have the services of Denzel Dumfries and Piotr Zielinski due to injury. Meanwhile, Marcus Thuram is still a big question mark. However, Martinez, Marco Arnautovic and Nicolo Barella are expected to start.
On the other side of the front line, AC Milan will be without Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Kyle Walker and Emerson Royal due to injury. However, Tammy Abraham is expected to lead the attack alongside Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao.
Expected lineup:
Inter Milan: Sommer, Bisseck, De Vrij, Bastoni, Darmian, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Augusto, Arnautovic, Martinez.
AC Milan: Maignan, Tomori, Gabbia, Pavlovic, Jimenez, Fofana, Reijnders, Hernandez, Pulisic, Abraham, Leao.
The match between Inter Milan and AC Milan takes place at 2:00 am on April 24 (Vietnam time).
