Prediction
The Milan derby has been fiercely contested over the past years. Both teams are in good form coming into this game and nothing less than competitiveness is expected. Milan will look forward to changing the narrative around their recent games against Inter, but a loss for Inter will widen the gap between the two Milan sides.
