AC Milan vs. Inter Milan Preview, Betting Tips, Predictions, Picks (May 10)

We all remember the iconic 2005 UEFA Champions League Derby Della Madonnina and the picture with Materazzi and Rui Costa. These two are long gone now, but some other players will feature in AC Milan vs. Inter Milan matchup. The stake is the same as 18 years ago, the UCL finals and the chance for Milan to fight for its 8th European title or Inter to reach the fourth. 

Here is the preview for the second semifinal matchup Real Madrid vs. Manchester City

AC Milan vs. Inter Milan Preview

AC Milan (+210) hasn’t lost in eight games, but Stefano Pioli’s squad has only three victories in that span. In addition, they have only won once in their last five games, putting them in a terrible position in the Serie A top-four place battle. Next year’s UEFA Champions League spot is in danger right now.

The last seven matches involving Milan have all ended with under 2.5 goals, mostly because Pioli chose to utilize a cautious approach for the rest of the season. It’s pretty normal, with the stakes rising now, and every game being important.

Neither Milan nor Inter have a home-field advantage in this matchup because they play in the same stadium. There will be some restrictions on the number of tickets for the nominal visitors, but still, the players won’t feel estranged once entering the pitch.  

Despite a mediocre season, Inter Milan (+150) advanced to the Coppa Italia finals and the UEFA Champions League semi-finals. Simone Inzaghi had been attacked throughout the campaign, but he managed to shut down all the critics with the recent successes and buy himself more time to cement the position at Meazza. 

Inter has recently been on a roll, winning their last four games and looking pretty confident. Lukaku woke up, and once he improved his level of performance, everything was easier for the rest of the players, who scored 13 goals in those four victories.

Inzaghi’s unit had challenging rivals at home in recent affairs – Benfica in the UCL quarterfinals, 3-3, Juventus in the semis of Coppa Italia, 1-0 and most recently, Lazio in Serie A, 3-1 for Nerazzurri.

AC Milan vs. Inter Milan Predictions 

Since this is only the first half of the matchup, we don’t expect to see too many goals. This is an Italian derby, and the efficiency is usually low when the stakes are high. So, under 2.5 goals is something expected here. The odds are good; honestly, we’ve expected to see them less profitable than they are right now.
