AC Milan vs Inter Milan Preview, prediction, injury news & lineups | Serie A 2026-27
The previous Milan derby ended in a 1-1 draw!
AC Milan are all set to battle it out against Inter Milan for their 10th matchweek fixture of the Serie A 2026-27 season. This will be a high-voltage clash to witness, taking place at the San Siro stadium.
The Ruben Amorim-led side have now suffered their first defeat in the Italian top division this season. Bologna FC outplayed them in what was a 2-4 loss for AC Milan. Their defence was all over the place, and they did not do well in attack.
With five wins in their first nine league matches, the Italian giants are sitting in fifth place on the points table. For their upcoming league game, the Rossoneri will be at their home ground. They must use it to their advantage.
This will be a tough outing for them and a big test for the Portuguese head coach. A win here will surely play a big role in their title battle this season.
On the other hand, Cristian Chivu’s men are unbeaten in Serie A at the moment. They are at the top of the league table with eight wins in their first nine games. Safe to say the title defence is going strong for them.
The Nerazzurri are coming off a 2-0 win against Venezia, but they lacked a finishing touch in the final third. The San Siro Stadium is also the home ground for FC Internazionale Milano. They will be fully confident heading into the Milan Derby.
