AC Milan's Mixed Pre-Season
AC Milan’s recent form shows inconsistency, following a Serie A loss with a 2-2 draw against Celtic in their pre-season opener. This result highlighted their scoring ability but also exposed defensive weaknesses that need attention.
The Rossoneri have secured only three wins in their last ten matches across all competitions, indicating a struggle to build momentum. Their draw with Celtic remains their sole friendly fixture so far, meaning they are without a victory in their last two games.
Despite no reported injuries, the club is deeply affected by the passing of legend Franco Baresi. This emotional event will undoubtedly impact the team’s mindset as they prepare for this significant Derby della Madonnina against Internazionale.
Internazionale's Impressive Unbeaten Run
Internazionale enters this derby in excellent form, currently on a long unbeaten streak. They ended last season by lifting the Coppa Italia after a 2-0 win over Lazio, and this momentum has continued into their pre-season.
In their club friendlies, the Nerazzurri have remained undefeated, with a 2-1 victory against Karlsruher SC and a 1-1 draw with Manchester City. Their attack has been effective, scoring three goals across these two away games.
A significant advantage for the team is having a fully fit squad with no injury concerns. This stability, combined with their recent results, puts them in a very confident position ahead of this important pre-season clash.
AC Milan vs. Internazionale Prediction: Nerazzurri to capitalise on form
