Simone Inzaghi Eyes Inter Immortality Ahead of Derby Clash Against Milan
Both teams featured in midweek Champions League action but experienced contrasting fortunes. Milan threw away a third-minute lead in a dismal 3-1 home defeat to Liverpool, while Inter avoided defeat at the Etihad Stadium, drawing 0-0 against Manchester City.
The current situation on the domestic front also favors the Nerazzurri. Despite a stomach-wrenching 1-1 draw at Monza last weekend, Inter are still unbeaten at the start of their Serie A title defense, whereas Milan only have one win under their belt after four games under Fonseca.
Indeed, the signs look ominous for the Rossoneri faithful. Anything other than three points against Inzaghi’s well-oiled machine would likely spell the end of Fonseca’s miserable tenure. On the other hand, a victory would see Inzaghi etch his name down in the history books.
Inter bested Milan in both league encounters last season, including a thumping 5-1 win in this corresponding fixture on matchday four. They also outscored their neighbors in all four meetings in 2022/23, accounting for a superb six-match winning streak.
Another win would be Inter’s seventh in a row against Milan, a feat unheard of in the storied history of this fixture. With Inzaghi masterminding all six previous victories, he’s on the brink of achieving greatness.
