The Inter vs. Milan match will be played on Sunday, at the San Siro Stadium. This is the Serie A round eight derby match. Inter is third on the table with 19 points currently, while Milan is 7th on the chart with 12 points at the moment.

INTER NEWS
Inter had a great start of the season, with six victories and only one draw in the first seven rounds. They are also the best defensive team with just three goals conceded currently and Luciano Spalletti is doing a great job now. Mauro Icardi scored nearly the half of Inter goals in the season – six out of 13, and he is in an incredible form, but same goes for Ivan Perisic, who scored three and he is probably the second most influential player in Inter currently.

Inter had a series of five matches against the teams which are not expected to fight for the top of the table, and now they will face Milan and Napoli in two consecutive weekends. After these two matches, we will be able to see their form and will they be ready to fight for the place in top three.

MILAN NEWS
Milan spent the most money out of all Italian clubs during the summer, and they are again falling behind from the beginning of the season.The arrival of Leonardo Bonucci from Juventus didn’t solve their defence issues – Milan conceded ten goals in their first seven matches, and only Torino conceded more out of all teams in the top ten at the moment! To make things even worse, Milan was easily defeated against Lazio and Roma, the only top teams they faced so far. Andre Silva, the man who scored 16 goals for Porto in the last season, failed to impress so far and he played only three games, the last against Lazio more than a month ago.

INTER v MILAN MATCH PREDICTION H2H
In their previous ten meetings, Inter recorded three victories, Milan won two matches, while five games ended in a draw. Their last two games ended with the same result – 2:2, and in the previous three games, we saw over 2.5 goals. It is interesting that they had eight games in a row that ended with under 2.5 goals scored before that.Watch Inter v Milan live stream at bet365 (18+, T&C Apply)

In this kind of matches, it is always hard to pick the winner. Inter is in a better form, but both teams will undoubtedly try to win the upcoming game. The victory would mean a lot to both clubs. If Inter wins, they will extend their lead over the most prominent rivals to ten points after only eight round, and that can cause the sacking of the coach Vincenzo Montella, while the eventual victory for Milan would leave them in the race for the top three, for the time being.

We expect a slightly defensive approach from both clubs, especially at the beginning of the match. One goal can solve the winner, and both Inter and Milan will try to deny the goal scoring opportunities to their rivals.
