The standout fixture of Round 12 of Serie A sees AC Milan play hosts to Inter in the season’s first Derby della Madonnina, with kick off set for 20:45 CET.
Milan come into the weekend’s action as leaders of Serie A – level with Napoli on 31 points and unbeaten so far – whereas Inter are already chasing from behind with a seven-point gap separating the champions from their cross-city rivals.
“Milan have more quality,” Il Corriere dello Sport’s Alessandro Barbano said ahead of the game. “But they are a very young team.
“Inter are more organised and have more experience, so the two teams are on par with one another. The league table lies.
“Being out of other competitions is an undeniable advantage for Serie A, particularly for Milan as they have a deep squad.”
