Inter Milan vs AC Milan: Match preview, head-to-head, team news, key players | OneFootball

Inter Milan host city rivals AC Milan at San Siro on Sunday evening in Serie A’s biggest clash this weekend.

Inter continued their brilliant form with a 2-0 home win over Lazio before the international break, extending their league winning streak to three matches.

By contrast, Milan continued their recent struggles at Parma who held them to a 2-2 draw.

Match preview

Inter are the league’s in-form teams, picking up 15 points from their last six games, making them favourites for this clash.

After losing two of their first three league games, manager Cristian Chivu has been able to turn the tide, which has been underscored by their superb domestic form.

Inter have not won any of their last three games against Milan, but they will be confident of ending that poor run in Sunday’s showdown.

Milan started the season better than their rivals, but now trail them by two points, having won two and drawn four of their last six games.

They have scored nine fewer goals than Chivu’s side, but they have conceded three fewer.

Milan won the corresponding fixture last term and will hope to replicate the same to overtake them in the league’s standings.

Head-to-head

Historically, Inter have the advantage over Milan, winning 85, losing 74 and drawing 69 of their previous meetings.
