AC Milan vs. Inter Milan
Serie A will also be played again before the international break, and the Italian league has an absolute highlight in store for us. At the end of matchday 12, the derby between AC Milan and Inter Milan will take place on Sunday evening at 20:45, which is also a top match. This traditional match is also known as the “Derby della Madonnina” or “Derby di Milano”, and is about the prestigious supremacy in the Italian metropolis. Who we see in front in this match, you can find out in the following Milan vs Inter tip.
The table situation also makes this duel particularly exciting. After an incredible start to the season, Milan are currently level on points with Napoli at the top of the table, with only their goal difference relegating them to second place. Champions Inter follow directly behind in third place, but are already seven points behind the top duo. With a win, Inter could move back to within four points of their city rivals and go into the break with a much better feeling.

Milan Form & Balance Check
Ac Milan have got off to an incredible start in the league. After eleven games, Milan have ten wins and a draw against Juventus, meaning the Rossoneri have yet to suffer a single defeat in Serie A. They currently have seven wins in a row, most recently a 2-1 victory at Roma. In the Champions League, however, Milan have lost their first three games in the difficult group with Liverpool, Atletico and Porto and are as good as eliminated. The Italians only managed to pick up their first point in the second leg against Porto on Tuesday.
Ibrahimovic in focus
With Zlatan Ibrahimovic, a 40-year-old is currently experiencing what feels like the tenth spring of his long career. The Swede is such a phenomenon that at his current advanced age he still manages to set further milestones. Against Roma he scored his 150th Serie A goal and at the same time the 400th league goal of his entire career. The striker has scored in all appearances lasting at least half an hour in the current league season. Ibra has also scored at least once in three of the last four Milan derbies.
Milan facts & analysis
– 2nd place in the league
– Still unbeaten in Serie A
– Last win 2:1 against AS Roma
– Facing CL elimination
Inter Form & Balance Check
Inter Milan are also in strong form at the moment. The Nerazzurri have won four of their last five competitive matches and are thus well in the juice in both competitions. In the league, however, Inter is still lagging behind the distant top duo, which may also be due to phases like the one from matchday 6 to matchday 9. Inter won only one of their four league games, drew against Atalanta and Juve and suffered their first and only defeat of the season against Lazio. However, Inter have won their two most recent games against Empoli and Udinese 2-0.
Duties fulfilled in CL
In the Champions League, however, Milan are fully on course for the last 16. After the opening defeat against Real and the unnecessary draw against Donetsk, the last two matches were against the big outsiders Sheriff Tiraspol, who sensationally beat Real Madrid. But Inter seemed to be warned against the representative from the Republic of Moldova. Tiraspol put up a good fight in both games and even managed to score a goal each time, but lost 1:3 twice. Inter have thus claimed the compulsory victories and have moved up to second place in the group.
Inter facts & analysis
– 3rd place in Serie A
– Only one defeat in the league
– Last three must-win games in a row
Predicted line-up – last update on 5 November 2021
For Milan, Ballon d’Or candidate Kjaer is likely to move into central defence for Romagnoli. Ballo-Toure replaces the suspended Theo Hernandez, Krunic is an option in place of Diaz. Kessie could languish on the bench given his rumoured flirtations with a move to Inter. At Inter, Darmian could defend on the right instead of Dumfries, and Correa, who recently scored a brace in the league, is an attacking option. Should Calhanoglu not play against his former club, Vidal could be available.
