Internazionale vs Milan Predictions and Betting Tips

The 227th Derby di Milano is scheduled for this Tuesday as both Milan sides go at each other in the quarterfinals of the Coppa Italia. Read on for our expert predictions and tips.

Of the previous 226 games, 24 of them were in the Coppa Italia with Milan enjoying a batter head-to-head record. The Rossoneri have won this cup fixture 10 times compared to the Nerazurri's 7 wins. Nonetheless, we expect this encounter to be a closely contested affair.

Feisty encounter on the cards

Inter had proved to be the dominant side in this fixture with regards to recent seasons. Prior Milan's recent 2-1 league win, Internazionale had won all previous four games. Pioli's troops managed to break that four-game jinx with two early goals from Zlatan- Lukaku grabbing Inter's solitary goal. Still and all, only two points separate both sides on the standings and we expect that sense of competition to still be active even in the Coppa Italia.

Milan lost only their second league game of the season in their most recent game at home to Atalanta. Goals from Romero, Ilicic, Zapata sealed a very important three points for Le Dea as Milan falter in their hunt for the Scudetto.

Inter, on the other hand, failed to capitalize on the mistakes of their local rivals as they were held to a 0-0 draw by Udinese. The frustration from failing to put a foothold on the game led to Conte's sending in the 90th minute. The Nerazzurri is still in 2nd but has a couple of teams now hot on their tails. As such, a slip-up from now could mean the concession of second place.

Internazionale vs Milan Prediction: 2-2

We expect to see this game to be a highly-competitive encounter given both sides' exploits this season. Pioli has quite a number of absentees, unlike Conte who is pretty much heading into this game with his strongest XI. We don't see a clear winner heading into this game, however, we expect to see goals from both sides.
