The Milan derby is about to take place at night. AC Milan, the leader in the table, and Inter Milan, the "1st brother", will meet each other and sparks will fly. Inter Milan's strong lineup and the return of captain Nadalu Martinez to the team are in hot form, posing a great threat to the "Red and Black Army", which is out of the Europa League. If Inter can win this match, they are expected to lock up the league title in advance, and the odds are stacked against them on the road.
This season, Inter Milan has been playing solidly in the league, with 26 wins and 5 losses in 32 rounds of play, losing only 1 game, scoring 77 goals and conceding only 17, leading the Serie A in both offense and defense. In the last 14 league matches, the team achieved 12 wins and 2 losses, and has never lost. Especially after being eliminated from the Europa League by an experienced Macedonian team, the team is more focused on the league. With the strong team strength, it is easy for them to fight on a single line. Despite the unexpected 2-2 draw with Cagliari in the last round, captain Nadalou Martinez came back after the Porto match, and the striker has already scored 23 goals in the league this season, leading the scorers list. In today's match, Inter is on fire, and it's hard to tell if they'll win or lose.
Meanwhile, AC Milan suffered a "Serie A implosion" in the last eight of the UEFA Europa League, and were demoralized when they were eliminated by the same team in two consecutive knockout matches. Although coach Pioli has led the team to perform well and win the Serie A title in 2022, he has lost many key matches. Since taking charge of AC Milan, he has lost nine of his 14 matches in Milan, setting a record for the most losses by a coach in A-mi history. In the last five games, he has lost even more, with overly rigid tactics becoming his Achilles heel.
More crucially, Inter Milan are 14 points ahead of AC Milan with 6 rounds left in the league. This means that Inter can extend their lead to 17 points with a win, while AC Milan can hardly catch up in the remaining 5 rounds. Inter Milan is expected to seal their 20th Serie A title early, embroidering their second star (10 titles and 1 star). In this crucial battle, Inter must go all out to win on the road and lay claim to the title.
