AC Milan v Inter Milan Betting Preview – Serie A 20th August
Another of the big European club matches that are happening this weekend along with Atletico v Real Madrid in Spain and Dortmund v bayern Munich in Germany. This Milan derby is of big importance to both as AC Milan need to deliver the three points in order to keep themselves on the tails of league leaders Juventus. As for Inter Milan, they are looking to shake themselves into a more positive mindset after such a tough opening to the season. They haven’t done a lot of winning lately and have already had a change of manager, so will they be able to bag the points they need to close the gap on their rivals to five points. Losing this one would be pretty damaging to Inter.

AC Milan v Inter Milan Betting Tips
AC Milan are favourites for the derby on Sunday and they are going along pretty well, because they are still in a decent position to make an assault on the league title. They have been superb at the San Siro this term with a W5 D1 at home this season in the league and notably in that sequence there was a win over Juventus as well. So Milan are doing alright at the moment and they have suffered just the one loss in their nine league games this season (W7 D1 L1). While they have found the winning touch going forward, they have been tight at the back too with three clean sheets in their last four at the San Siro. You can go with AC Milan to win to nil at a price of 7/2 with Bet365 for this one. In the anytime goalscorer market, Carlos Bacca, who is Milan’s top scorer this season, is 13/10 to strike. In recent head to heads with Inter, things have been even with two wins each in the league.
The two last came together back in January this year and Milan romped to a great 3-0 win. That’s a rare thing to see a lopsided Milan derby and prior to that, both teams had failed to score more than one single goal in the previous seven meetings. So it is worth reverting back to expecting this to be a low scoring affair and under 2.5 goals for the fixture will return a price of 3/4 at Bet365. Because the game is expected to be a low scoring affair, then that could lead to value in the Correct Score market where an AC Milan 1-0 correct score will return a price of 15/2, and that same price can be taken on the reverse as well. AC Milan then have a strong record and they are fielding a young side at the moment, so they may be decent value to get the better of their rivals who have had a rocky time of things this season. In each game that Milan have been ahead in this season, they have always won.
So Inter have been a bit of a mess this season. After 85 days in charge, Frank de Boer got himself the sack from his new job and now Stefano Pioli is in the hot seat. Inter Milan have produced a W3 D1 L6 across their last ten matches in all competitions. It gets a lot worse when you look at their away form as they are on a five match losing streak away from home and three of their last four away defeats have been by a 2-1 scoreline incidentally if you want to go with that trend. Inter currently have the lowest shooting accuracy in the Serie A this season and really only have Mauro Icardi, producing the goods going forward. As much as his own fans dislike him, he has ten league goals, but he has faced Milan seven time before and have never scored against them. Icardi is trading at 13/10 in the anytime goalscorer market for this one. Inter scored three goals in the last six minutes against Cotone last weekend to give themselves a huge boost in morale and to their credit, they have recovered more points form behind this season than any other side in the league (8). But they face a Milan side in great form at the moment.

AC Milan v Inter Milan Predictions
It’s worth expecting this one to go under 2.5 goals as there won’t any quarters given in this one at all. It’s a strange derby because of both side being at their home, but you can’t ignore the form that Milan have been putting up at the San Siro this season. They should have the edge in the game but it could be worth pushing the boat out to look at a Milan 1-0 correct score perhaps as well.
