Team News
Inter Milan – Spalletti only has one serious injury worry as Vrsaljko is injured and still won’t feature for Inter. Otherwise it’s a healthy side and we can expect the line-up to remain pretty similar to the ones that Spalletti has used in recent games that got them on a winning run.
AC Milan: AC Milan have a few more absentees. Conti, Strinic, Montolivo and Caldara are all out for Gatusso’s side. We can also expect AC Milan’s starting 11 to stay pretty similar to the one in the previous game as they’re currently on a good run.
Betting Tips and Predictions
This game shapes up to be a very feisty one as you can expect from a Milan derby. We can expect cards here for sure. This is a game where it’s 50/50 really as both sides are quite evenly matched and both are playing well. If we were to pick a winner here it’d be Inter to win 2-1, but this could very well end in a 1-1/2-2 draw. BTTS – Yes is one of our top picks for this match considering that both sides struggle to keep clean sheets but have elite strikers with decent creators around and that’s pretty much it. Simply expect a feisty battle that should get us a few goals between two evenly matched rivals.
