ALL-IN INTER then! No injuries in both side?inter will beat Ac milan tonight. The odds for them is a gift and worth itComment -
Why is inter in a "must win situation"?Comment -
Inter is not at the Top of the Serie A while Ac Milan hold the first place, if Inter (5th place) don't beat Ac Milan they will have difficulties to bounce back I think.Comment -
I still think it's a coin flip, GL guys.Comment -
This is the correct information about injuries for the teams:
-Milan are missing Inzaghi, Oduamadi, Oddo and Pato.
-Inter are missing Maicon, Samuel, Muntari, Motta, Mariga and Suazo. Julio Cesar, Sneijder and Cambiasso are in the squad, the first two are likely to play while Cambiasso will be tested to see if he can play.Comment -
Correct, Kitty. I'll pick Inter.Comment -
Will Eto'o be in the line-up or not?Comment -

Inter and Milan lock horns in the Derby della Madonnina at San Siro this weekend. Both sides have made solid starts to the campaign, currently sitting in fourth and first place respectively. Having won the past three Milan derbies though, Inter will consider themselves as having a good chance of toppling the Serie A leaders in their 175th league meeting, despite possessing a number of injuries to key players. Their opponents and 'visitors' in this clash have won five of their past six league fixtures however, and will be full of confidence in order to exact revenge this weekend.
Despite sitting fourth at present, Inter have looked a shadow of the side that won the Treble last season. They may only have suffered the one defeat thus far, but the Nerazzurri have drawn three of their five home fixtures, which is very uncharacteristic of them. A win this weekend will see them draw level on points with their fierce rivals and possibly climb to the pinnacle of the table, should Lazio draw at home to Napoli.
Milan meanwhile are one of the in-form sides in Serie A, and proved this with yet another commanding display at home to Palermo in midweek. The Rossoneri scored three against a talented Sicilian line-up to go top of the table. They will be keen to maintain their place atop of the standings with victory this weekend, adding further significance to this fixture. With the second best attack, statistically, coming up against the best defence in the league, it definitely could go either way.
Both sides have injury concerns heading into the match though, particularly the hosts, who recently had star defender Walter Samuel ruled out for up to eight months with a ruptured cruciate ligament injury. He is joined on the sidelines by Maicon, who suffered an injury in the same game at Brescia, as well as Wesley Sneijder, Sulley Muntari, Thiago Motta, Esteban Cambiasso and No. 1 goalkeeper Julio Cesar. Milan will be without Daniele Bonera and Massimo Oddo, whilst Robinho has been tipped to get the nod in behind Pato and Ibrahimovic up front.
Inter player to watch: Samuel Eto'o. The Cameroon striker has been one of the only shining lights, in what has been a fairly uninspiring season for Inter thus far. He will need to reproduce his top form of late, having scored eight goals in 11 league games, if the Nerazzurri are to stand any chance of winning this weekend. He will make life constantly difficult for the opposing back four, and will get on the scoresheet if given half a chance.
Milan player to watch: Pato. The Brazilian starlet scored the decisive goal at Bari last weekend and continued his consistent form with another solid display against Palermo in midweek, scoring the opener. He continues to grow with every match he plays and alongside Ibrahimovic on Sunday, expect him to potentially run rings around a makeshift Inter back four.
Key Battle: Diego Milito v Alessandro Nesta. Goals may be hard to come by due to the strength of the respective defences, however, with such a talented bunch of attackers taking to the field, it would be a surprise if there weren't a few. Milito is not in the same position as he was under Jose Mourinho, but should find himself involved at some stage and can have an impact on a game whenever he is asked. Nesta has more than enough experience and resilience to take care of the UEFA Club Footballer of the Year and, if he does, one would expect that the Rossoneri will secure their first derby triumph since 2008.
Stats: In their previous 174 Serie A meetings, Inter have won 64 times, whilst Milan have recorded 58 victories, with 52 ending all square.
Odds: Inter (2.62), the draw (3.20) and Milan (2.70) are on offer with Bet365. You can get odds of (10.00) for Milan to win the match by a 2-1 scoreline.
Prediction: One of the most crucial Milan derbies in recent times is certain to be a tightly contested battle. Whilst both sides possess extremely attacking line-ups on paper, the key players missing for Inter will have a major impact, with Milan running out narrow winners.Comment -
We might see a new formation for Inter tonight, normally Benitez plays 4-2-3-1 but he might try a 4-3-1-2 diamond formation against Milan. Obi played a great game against Lecce and if Cambiasso cant start he is likely to play togheter with Stankovic and Zanetti on midfield. Sneijder will have his normal position between midfield and attack where Milito and Etoó most likely will play. In defense Chivu, Lucio, Materazzi and Cordoba are likely to play, maybe Santon but in these types of derbys routine is very important.
This lineup are probable but NOT confirmed.Comment -
If you look at Milans homepage, to the right under Breaking News and hold the mouse pointer over INTER - MILAN: ROSSONERI SQUAD then you will see hes not even in the 20-man squad. I believe AC Milans official site over ESPN every day of the week.Comment -

What make me doubting is that Ac Milan's line movement goes in their favor.... nevermind.. GO GO GO INTER... If Inter beat AC Milan, they'll get good chance to come back top of the Serie A...Comment -
coinflip, maybe the draw or stay away
Comment -
I am an Inter supporter, have been for a long time so this is obviously a very big game. I cant be neutral here or anytime Inter plays, I always want them to win
.
We still have a strong team but you can not ignore all the injuries, we have many youngsters but they might not be ready for the pressure of playing a BIG derby like this. We need to have players who are fit and Stankovic, Cambiasso (might not play and wont be 100%), Sneijder and Cesar has just come back from injuries or sickness (Sneijder has anemia). I really hope they are nearly 100% because then we have a chance. Milan are in great shape so it will be interesting, Ibra is back on familiar territory
.
FORZA INTER !

Sounds like I'll lose my €500 bet... if Inter isn't playing 100%
Comment -
I am not a big bettor
. sampdoria has to win first before I will know my stake on inter. I have 300 euros on sampdoria ML. If they dont win, I will put the same stake on inter. If sampdoria wins, I will stake 500 euros on inter ML.
I won't regret playing inter if they do not win. I am sure they will press Ac milan from beginning until they win, and the odds 2.60. The last time inter has such high odd at san siro was when they played against barcelona.You know what happened

The derby della Madonnina, remember that there isn't much of a home/away effect as this is both teams home ground. There is value on Ac Milan +0/+0.5 at 1.75.Comment -

The only sure is that Intes will not loose tonight.Most possible is to be draw.Comment -

milan will take the leadComment -
By the way, Lazio won today, so they took the first place of the Serie A. Both Ac Milan and Inter Milan will fight to take the first place.Comment -
