AC Milan will be looking to stall Inter Milan’s title march as both teams square off in a Monday night Serie A fixture. Inter often come out on top in this fixture and with the Rossoneri looking out of sorts lately, they will be confident of maintaining their dominance over their bitter rivals.
AC Milan have lost their way in recent weeks with two defeats and a draw from their last three matches across all competitions. The defeats came in the Europa League as they crashed out of the competition after losing home and away to fellow Serie A side Roma.
The Rossoneri were held to a 3-3 draw by Sassuolo in their previous Serie A fixture. They showed some fight to come from two goals down, with Rafael Leao, Luka Jovic and Noah Okafor getting the goals.
Although they were held at Sassuolo last time out, AC Milan’s recent Serie A form has been decent. Stefano Pioli’s men are unbeaten in their last seven Serie A matches, claiming five wins in that run.
Sitting 14 points clear at the top of the Serie A standings, Inter Milan’s triumph is only a matter of time. The extra motivation heading into Monday’s clash is that they can lift the title at San Siro with a win over their bitter rivals.
Inter Milan have breezed through their campaign so far and have still only lost once in Serie A this season. Simone Inzaghi’s men head into Monday’s clash with 12 wins from their last 15 Serie A matches.
While things have been solid lately for Inter Milan, they stumbled last time out, playing out a 2-2 home draw with Cagliari. They took the lead twice through Marcus Thuram and Hakan Calhanoglou but failed to see out the win and were pegged back both times.
