Prediction published on 14/09/2023, 11:13  by Daniel Ngulu in Serie A Predictions

One of the top matches in Europe this weekend will have Inter Milan hosting rivals AC Milan in Serie A. The two sides occupy the top slots in the league, Inter at the summit with a better goal difference. After three matches, Inter have a perfect nine points and are yet to concede a goal this season. A 4-0 win over Fiorentina in their last outing before the international break places Inter at a confident place. They will have reason to feel they can pull clear at the top after this game. A key man for Inter coming into this game is Lautaro Martinez. The Argentine has scored in each of their three matches this season. With his start to this season, Martinez has 11 goals in Inter’s last 10 league matches. In six meetings with AC Milan, Martinez has also scored in four of them and this is a fixture he will enjoy. He has scored five times in those six meetings. In total, he has eight goals against Milan and will be hopeful of adding to his five goals this season.

Milan are also enjoying a good start to the season, and coming into this game will be eying a fourth win. Their last outing ended in a 2-1 win away to AS Roma. However, it came at a cost, as Englishman Fikayo Tomori was sent off on the hour mark. They should have no trouble replacing the defender but the visitors must have a way to deal with Lautaro Martinez. In their three matches, Milan haven't had trouble scoring, but have just one clean sheet. They will place much hopes on their attacking duo of Olivier Giroud and Cristian Pulisic. Giroud has scored in all their three matches, though his three goals in the last two games have been through penalties. The Frenchman had an injury scare in the international break but is expected to recover for this game. In the last four meetings between these two sides, Milan have suffered defeats. All those matches were played last season. In the last 11 meetings, Milan have managed just two wins over Inter.
