Our prediction for this Serie A match:
There will be fireworks when Inter and Milan face each other in the Derby della Madonnina on Saturday evening. The Nerazzurri are leading the chase for Scudetto, but they can’t afford any complacency in the remainder of the season as both Milan and Napoli are breathing down their neck. The likes of Arturo Vidal, Alexis Sanchez, and Lautaro Martinez are unlikely to feature in the local derby as they represented their national teams in the World Cup qualifiers in midweek.
Both Gosens and Correa are out of contention with injuries. The Rossoneri, on the other hand, head into the match following a goalless draw with Juventus. Milan and Inter seem to be evenly matched ahead of the Giuseppe Meazza showdown, and, taking everything into account, the share of spoils is on the cards. Franck Kessie is unlikely to feature in Saturday’s clash as he is on the verge of leaving the club, while all Ballo-Toure, Kjaer, and Tomori miss out with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Alexis Sanchez):
Alexis Sanchez is a Chilean football player born on 19th of December 1988. Sanchez started playing football for Cobreloa and played for Colo Colo, River Plate, Udinese and FC Barcelona before he started playing for Arsenal in 2014. The Chilean player is active for the national team as well.

Highlighted Team (Milan):
AC Milan are regarded as one of the biggest club in Italy. The Rossoneri compete in the Italian Serie A and they have won 18 domestic trophies. Speaking of the club’s European success, Milan have clinched seven Champions League (European Cup) trophies.
Milan were on the verge of beating Liverpool in the 2005 Champions League final, but the Premier League outfit came from three goals behind and eventually won the prestigious trophy on penalties. The Rossoneri play their home games at Stadio San Siro (80,018), the stadium that was opened in 1926. It is well known that Milan’s bitterest rivals are Inter and there have always been fireworks when the two local rivals face each other in the Derby della Madonnina.
Milan were founded in 1899 by a lace-maker from England named Herbert Kilpin and a businessman Alfred Edwards. Milan’s home kits are red and black and that is why the team’s nickname is Rossoneri (The Red and Blacks).
The likes of Alessandro Costacurta, Paolo Maldini, Franco Baresi, Roberto Donadoni, Dejan Savicevic, Frank Rijkaard, Marco van Basten, Ruud Gullit and Andrea Pirlo are the most famous footballers who have represented the San Siro outfit.
