Inter News and Form
Inter have put together a four-match winning streak in the league. So they have been stepping it up after a tough start. They have posted a W2 D1 L1 record at the San Siro so far, winning their last two there. In all but one of their home games for the season, they have scored exactly two goals in. Because we expect their rivals to push them hard, the Inter Milan 2-1 correct score option at 17/2 odds looks a solid proposition* (betting odds taken on October 17th, 2018 at 10:32 pm). They have netted six home goals this term, four of them coming in the second half of matches. Inter have yet to concede a first-half goal at home this term, so the half time draw looks solid.
There has been a trend with Inter in that all but one of their five league wins this season have been by a one-goal margin only. Inter to win by a one-goal margin is handily priced up at 3/1 odds* (betting odds taken on October 17th, 2018 at 10:32 pm). Mauro Icardi has three goals in his last three games for Inter but does have only the one home goal this term (from the penalty spot). They could open a massive seven-point lead over their great rivals with a victory and keep their hot streak going.
AC Milan News and Form
Gennaro Gattuso has Milan moving in the right direction, as at least they have been difficult to beat. They suffered a defeat against Napoli in a tough opening game to the season, but have remained undefeated in their six league games since (W3 D3). It would be a big statement if they pulled to within a point of Inter who start up in third place in the table. AC Milan would still have a game in hand over their rivals. The positive from AC is that they have scored more goals than Inter have managed in this season’s top flight despite playing a game less.
So that suggests that they can get at their rivals so for the Milan derby we are looking at both teams to score at 4/6 odds* (betting odds taken on October 17th, 2018 at 10:32 pm). AC Milan don’t yet have a clean sheet on the board this season in the league, conceding exactly one goal in five of their seven league games this season. They have only met one of the current top four sides this season, which ended in that defeat at Napoli on the opening weekend. AC Milan are W1 D2 L1 away from home this season. They did fire off seven goals in their two games before the international break.
Inter v AC Milan Head to Head
Inter collected a 3-2 home win over their rivals in this corresponding fixture last season, with the reverse ending in a 0-0 draw.

Four of the last five meetings have actually gone over 2.5 goals.
Inter v AC Milan Predictions
Inter to win: We can only expect another tight battle between the two San Siro clubs. But at the end of the day, Inter do shade things in terms of overall quality here, even though their rivals have been going well. Home win.
