AC Milan vs Inter Milan Preview
To Win To Nil - Internazionale
It’s great to see these two behemoths of European football in the Champions League semi-final stage and a mouth-watering double header awaits.
The San Siro will host both matches and home advantage will count for very little, though AC Milan are the designated home side for the first leg.
Both clubs have failed to inspire confidence in Serie A predictions this season but it has been a fantastic campaign for fans across the city when it comes to the Champions League.
Italy will be represented in the Champions League final for the first time since 2016/17 and the jury is out on which Milan side will advance to the showpiece.
History is well and truly on the side of AC Milan. The Rossoneri have advanced to the next round on both occasions when the Milan clubs have been matched up.
However, there’s no time like the present and Inter are arguably better placed to prevail. It won’t be straightforward but the Nerazzurri are the stronger of the two teams.
Inter head into this fixture off the back of five wins in a row in all competitions and it would be fair to say that confidence is high in that camp.
Meanwhile, Milan have been inconsistent – winning three of their last eight games. That doesn’t tell the whole story though as they are unbeaten in nine matches.
With that in mind, we can expect a tight contest at the San Siro. Football betting odds for a low scoring game are well worth checking out, under 2.5 goals looks likely.
For me, I fancy Inter to get the job done over two legs and they can snag a first leg lead if everything goes to plan. Without a doubt, they are the more ‘complete’ Milan side.
My best bet of this game is for Inter to win to nil. It could be cagey, it might even be a bit tedious at times but I won’t mind as long as the Nerazzurri get the win.

Inter Club History
Inter was formed in 1908 after a group of players from the Milan Cricket and Football Club – now officially known as AC Milan – wanted the club to accept more foreign footballers.
According to the history books, the first Inter club captain was Swiss native Hernst Marktl and he is an iconic figure in their long and illustrious history.
Just two years later, Inter won their first Italian title. Since then, the club have tallied 18 league titles and those who bet on football will remember the glory years in the mid-2000s.
Inter Milan won five consecutive titles during their golden era, culminating in the Nerazzurri becoming the first Italian club to capture the Serie A, Coppa Italia and Champions League treble.
Inter and local rival AC Milan share the San Siro Stadium – one of the most prestigious stadiums on the planet.
The venue opened in 1926 and Inter beat AC Milan 6-3 in the first game to be played there – just one year before club legend Giuseppe Meazza made his debut in the blue and black.
In 1979, Meazza sadly passed away and the stadium was officially renamed in his honour. However, most fans of European football continue to know to the ground as San Siro.
