Odds, picks & predictions
AC Milan: +175
Draw: +210
Inter Milan: +160
Moneyline pick: Inter Milan +160
Both sides call San Siro their home ground but with AC Milan listed as the home team for this match, they'll be playing in front of more of their own fans than Inter will. Inter Milan saw the return of Romelu Lukaku this season after he spent a year at Chelsea but Inter will have to forge ahead without the 29-year-old as he's expected to miss several weeks after suffering a hamstring injury.
AC Milan is coming off a scoreless draw with Sassuolo, while Inter logged a comfortable 3-1 win over Cremonese earlier in the week. Lautaro Martinez leads the attack so far this season with three goals and one assist through his first four matches. Ante Rebic leads the scoring for AC Milan with two goals so far, though he'll also be missing several weeks while he's sidelined with a back injury.
While this one could go either way, Inter Milan looks like the more solid pick here as they've been playing slightly better soccer than their rivals through the first stretch of the season so far. While AC Milan doesn't have another clear leader in the attack with Rebic out, Inter Milan can rely on the likes of Martinez and Joaquin Correa to put the ball in the back of the net even in Lukaku's absence.
