Inter vs Milan 2023 Serie A Match Preview, Team News and Prediction
The Derby della Madonnina between Inter and Milan will take place at the San Siro this weekend. Both teams have a 100% record in the Serie A after three games.
Both Milan-based clubs had a strong start to the season as they both occupy the top two spots in the Serie A table. Inter and Milan fell short to win the Scudetto last season, however Inter did reach the Champions League final only to lose out to Man City.
An early derby win for either team will be a huge boost for their title hopes this season. Both teams have been flawless in the first three games of the season.
The Nerazzurri are yet to concede a goal this season, but the Rossoneri’s attacking threat of Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic will test Inter despite Olivier Giroud’s likely absence.
Moreover, Inter hammered the Rossoneri last season in the Champions League semi-final, but their league meetings threw up a win each.
In addition to netting 2+ goals in all three Serie A games, Stefano Pioli’s side have broken the deadlock within the opening 15 minutes of play on two occasions.
Pioli’s frontline will have to step up in this fixture, considering his backline hasn’t fared well in the early season, failing to keep a clean sheet in two games.
