Inter Milan vs AC Milan
Wolfgang Shotten; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Both teams to score
| |
13/20 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning In the heated context of the Coppa Italia semi-final, both Inter and Milan are prone to concede but carry enough attacking firepower to ensure goals on both sides. With Lautaro and Abraham in form, and shaky defending evident, expect the net to ripple at least once for each side. | |
Key Stats:
- Inter have not kept a clean sheet in their last six home games across all competitions.
- AC Milan have scored in nine of their previous 11 fixtures versus Inter.
- Lautaro Martinez has scored nine goals in Milan derbies—one away from hitting double digits.
Rationale
Wednesday brings the climactic fifth instalment of this season’s Milan derby, with both clubs eyeing a coveted place in the Coppa Italia final. While Inter will be back on familiar turf at San Siro, their recent form raises eyebrows. A deflating loss to Bologna snapped their 13-game unbeaten streak, and defensive cracks have become more visible as fixtures pile up.
Despite this, Inter still pose a considerable threat in attack, particularly with Lautaro Martinez desperate to etch his name further into derby folklore. Having missed the first leg, he returns to the lineup with the motivation of becoming just the third Inter man to bag ten goals in these high-stakes meetings.
Milan, meanwhile, have been inconsistent. Though they’ve had joy against Inter recently—including a Supercoppa victory—they continue to leak goals, especially at home. Their experimental back three is yet to deliver defensive cohesion, and with Champions League qualification likely slipping away, this competition may be their only viable European route.
Given both teams’ offensive strengths and defensive concerns, goals are expected at either end.
