Inter Milan took a huge stride towards the Champions League Final last week with a 2-0 victory over their fierce rivals AC Milan. With a two-goal cushion, the Nerazzurri will be expected to complete the job at the San Siro in the second leg of the semi-final. It was an impressive performance from Inter who could have had even more goals had their finishing been more clinical.
The Nerazzuri are the favourites going into this match with Betfred pricing the hosts at 23/20 while the Rossoneri are 11/5 and a draw is 5/2. Despite losing the first meeting this season back in September, Inter have won the last three meetings against their rivals
AC Milan, on the other hand, have had a difficult week. After the first leg, they suffered a 2-0 loss at Spezia, which further damaged their Champions League hopes for next season. To make matters worse, the players were given a ‘message’ from the Ultras at the ground as the fans vented their frustration at the squad's performances on the pitch with a poor title defence, no silverware to show it and Champions League football a doubt for next season.
Inter, however, seem to be in a good place. Their 4-2 win against Sassuolo made it seven wins in a row in all competitions and they will be brimming with confidence going into the second leg.
