Inter Milan face a very tough test against Barcelona in the Champions League, which is going to be a double header as they face the Blaugrana both home and away. So far, Luciano Spalletti’s men have picked up six points from six after beating both Ajax and Tottenham and so are joint-top of their group.
AC Milan, meanwhile, also have done solidly in their Europa League campaign and are unbeaten in their last seven across all comps whilst their cross-town rivals have won six in a row after a rough start to the season.Despite sitting in tenth, Milan are just outside touching distance of the top four due to how congested things are in the table, so a win for them would launch them back into the European spots. Furthermore, their lower standing is also due to the fact that they had their first game cancelled due to the Ponte Morandi collapse earlier this seaseon.
A derby win, of course would be the perfect launching point for Gennaro Gatusso’s side ahead of a busy week for the Diavolo, which sees them in Europa League action, but can they topple an Inter side who have been growing in confidence and momentum over the past few rounds?
