AC Milan holds the edge over the last ten meetings with five victories compared to the Nerazzurri's three, alongside two draws. Fonseca's side also won their most recent three clashes 5–0 on aggregate. These bitter rivals have averaged 2.7 goals per game across their last ten fiery encounters.
AC Milan team overview
Milan enter this clash on the back of a hard-fought 2-2 draw against Celtic in their opening summer friendly.
The Rossoneri had mixed results prior to this tour, concluding their previous domestic campaign with three defeats in their final four games as defensive vulnerabilities plagued their consistency.
Amorim's men are desperate to absorb the new boss's ideas quickly, hoping to clear up the sloppy mistakes at the back before the pressure of the Serie A season begins.
Francesco Camarda returns to the spotlight after netting a crucial second-half brace against the Scottish champions, making the teenage prodigy the main man expected to provide an immediate spark in the final third.
However, the squad faces a noticeable absentee list as Christian Pulisic, Rafael Leão, and Tijjani Reijnders are all rested following international tournaments, leaving a massive creative void in the center of the pitch.

Inter team overview
Inter Milan enters this highly anticipated summer derby filled with momentum. The Nerazzurri recently defeated Manchester City on penalties in their previous pre-season outing.
Chivu’s men completed a historic league and cup double last season, showing a relentless consistency that left their rivals lagging far behind. The champions are desperate to break their frustrating seven match winless run against their neighbors.
They want to prove that their trophy-winning chemistry can disrupt a changing Milan side. Benjamin Pavard returns to the spotlight after dispatching a crucial equalizer against the Premier League giants.
The versatile defender will anchor a physical, high-pressing transition game. However, star attackers Lautaro Martínez and Marcus Thuram are both rested following intense summer international tournaments.

Prediction
Expect a tight, high-stakes affair despite the friendly setting. Both teams excel in transition but miss their primary talismanic attackers. Given their experimental pre-season defensive lines, clean sheets will be difficult to find. Recent derbies have been incredibly stubborn, low-scoring tactical battles. A balanced midfield scrap should neutralize any clear dominance. Expect both rivals to trade blows and settle for a hard-fought 1–1 draw in Perth.
Three reasons we expect both teams to score
- Six of the last nine meetings between AC Milan and Inter produced goals at both ends.
- Each of the last four games of Inter Milan saw goals from both sides.
- Milan finished only one of their last five games without conceding.
