So far this season, C Milan pulled off unexpected victories against Inter, with late surges and flair for the dramatic, twice when nobody gave them any hope of doing so. Still, it's consistency that evades Milan. Milan's form has been erratic under Sergio Conceicao, their current boss. Injuries to key players like Alessandro Florenzi and departure of star striker Alvaro Morata have added to the concerns and have left them seventh in the league standings. While recording only one loss, the question lingers about just how well Milan can cash in on that home recordIn contrast, Inter are flying: with eight wins in ten games away, their goal difference a mouth-watering 29:5, Inter is ready for battle. Neck and neck at this moment in the title chase with Napoli, every point matters. The Nerazzurri are unlikely to allow an unbeaten run to slip at a stadium where many seats will be taken up by Milan fans, even against their bitter city rivals. The bookies slightly favor Inter at odds that slightly lean towards a victory at 1.93, but they also believe it could be an open, highly-scoring match, with over 2.5 goals the popular tip at odds of 1.77. That would go on to indicate that although Inter have a slight edge, the game is poised to be a tight contest. Expected to line up in a 4-3-3 formation, AC Milan's starting XI includes standouts like goalkeeper Mike Maignan, defenders Kyle Walker and Fikayo Tomori, and attacking threats such as Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao. Conceicao's men must overcome their tendency for inconsistency and harness their brilliance if they are to upset Inter. Inter has been a model of efficiency on the road for head coach Simone Inzaghi, with disciplined defending and clinical counterattacks the keys to imposing their game and securing crucial points in the title race. Last time Milan won but I believe Lady Luck won't smile again on them.
