Betting Tips
This week sees the return of the UEFA Champions League, with Inter Milan taking on Stefano Pioli’s AC Milan team in a thrilling semi-final clash at the San Siro on Wednesday.
The semifinals of the Champions League feature this week’s biggest derby in years between AC Milan and Inter.
It is a thrilling encounter between two ferociously opposed heavyweights. Italy hasn’t had a Champions League finalist since Juventus in 2017. Finally, the Serie A will have a presence on the biggest stage of them all.
AC, of course, has a huge amount of history in this competition. While this current team isn’t blessed with bags of experience. The club is one of the greats when it comes to the European Cup.
Inter, meanwhile, has become something of a cup specialist in recent seasons.
AC Milan vs Inter Milan
This Derby della Madonnina has the potential to be one of the most dramatic and highly charged events witnessed in Italian football this century, with a spot in the final against either Man City or Real Madrid up for grabs.
Two domestically underperforming clubs have miraculously advanced to the semifinals of Europe’s top league. Additionally, since both teams play at the San Siro, AC Milan’s home-field advantage in the first leg shouldn’t be all that significant.
The two times they’ve faced off in Europe, in the quarterfinals of the 2004–05 season and the semifinals of the 2002–03 season, AC Milan prevailed. But neither team has had a classic Serie A season, with Inter Milan presently in fourth and AC Milan in fifth, two points behind.
In the most recent round, Stefano Pioli’s AC team defeated champions Napoli in a fiercely contested match, while Inter put in the necessary effort in Portugal by defeating Benfica 2-0 and then drawing 3-3 with them at the San Siro.
Inter, led by Simone Inzaghi, enter this match in stronger shape after a run of five straight victories in all competitions, during which time they have only given up one goal.
Verdict
On May 10, the Rossoneri won 2-1, which shouldn’t cause any concern. It’s a modest one-goal triumph versus a tenacious foe, first and foremost. This is how most derbies end. Given that there isn’t much between these two, our AC Milan vs Inter Milan prediction has a good possibility of being correct.
Inter Milan has shown marked improvement in recent weeks and will look to build on their stellar recent record in the Derby della Madonnina.
The problems facing Inter Milan are as startlingly evident as a bucket on the head. In the Champions League, the Nerazzurri are giving up goals way too regularly. On April 19, Benfica scored three goals against Simone Inzaghi’s team. The same is true for Barcelona, who also scored three goals at Nou Camp against Inter Milan.
Our predictions for this week’s AC Milan vs. Inter Milan match are primarily based on the highly regarded Leao. The Portuguese wizard is getting attention, and if he keeps performing at this elite level, AC Milan may soon get a bid from one of the other best teams in Europe.
Rafael Leao is Stefano Pilio’s top finisher and best playmaker, having scored 12 goals and contributed seven assists in Serie A. He has a great chance to score on May 10 just by virtue of his inclusion in the starting XI.

Football Lover. All-round junkie of the beautiful game. Could be found watching football most of the time. If not he’s writing about them or making some punditry you don’t agree with. A certain bias for Arsenal and Santos FC.
