AC Milan vs Inter prediction 08.03.2026 | Serie A

AC Milan came into this season after a terrible last season, when they even failed to secure a place in Europe. This year, the Rossoneri are doing much better. Even though they are ten points behind Inter in the league table, they are still averaging 2.11 points per game. If we acknowledge that Napoli won the title last year with an average of 2.16, we can safely say they are doing well. Still, in order to have some chance of catching up with Inter, the Rossoneri have to win this match.

After a 2:0 win over Cremonese, coach Massimiliano Allegri spoke to the media. He said it was important to win the game and to erase the loss against Parma in the game before. "In the first 20 minutes, we were a little tense, then Cremonese dropped off, and we improved," the coach added. The coach was happy with the victory but said they have to stay alert because bigger matches are ahead of them.

Inter's excellent season was spoiled by an unexpected opponent, as Bodo/Glimt eliminated them from the Champions League 1/16 Finals. The Norwegian team won both games (2:1 and 3:1), creating one of the biggest upsets in modern football. Even though they are dominating Serie A and have a 10-point advantage, they also had an underwhelming performance in the Coppa Italia semi-finals, drawing 0:0 with Como. Still, they rotated the squad a bit, which could be a reason for their somewhat poor performance.

After a goalless draw with Como, coach Cristian Chivu spoke to the media. He said it wasn't an Inter-like game, saying they had to adapt to Como's defensive shape, which sometimes switched to five at the back. The coach also said they had to adjust tactics due to having only two available strikers. Both Lautaro Martinez and Ange-Yoan Bonny missed the Como game and will most likely remain sidelined for the Derby della Madonnina as well.
