While Inter Milan are technically the hosts of this match, both teams share the same stadium so it’ll feel like a home ground for both sides. Both Milan-based clubs are off to a flying start this season, logging three straight wins before clashing in the Milan derby.
AC Milan have been enjoying some nice production from their new signings, including USMNT star Christian Pulisic, who made the move from Chelsea this offseason. Pulisic already has two goals in three matches, finding the back of the net against Bologna and Torino in his first two outings with his new club. Ruben Loftus-Cheek, also signed from Chelsea, has added one assist while Olivier Giroud leads the team in scoring with four goals already.
Inter Milan’s Lautaro Martinez is off to a flying start with five goals in three matches, accounting for over half of the club’s overall eight goals so far this season. This will be the toughest test of the season so far for both sides, and AC Milan will no doubt be looking for a little redemption after losing to Inter in both legs of their Champions League semifinal tie last season.
It’s incredibly tough to pick a winner out of these two sides as they’re both formidable squads who should find themselves on the score sheet. I’m backing a draw between the two in what is sure to be an intense and hard-fought match for 90 minutes.
