AC Milan vs Inter Milan Bet Builder Tips, Predictions and Preview

In what stands among Europe’s most iconic rivalries, AC and Inter Milan will both be looking to claim a first-leg advantage when they meet for their Champions League semi-final showdown on Wednesday night.

Clashing at their shared home of the San Siro, this will be the first time that the two Milan giants have met on the European stage since the Rossoneri claimed a 5-0 aggregate romp back in April 2005.

However, while it might be Stefano Pioli’s side who hold an unbeaten European record against their arch-rivals, Inter Milan find themselves in the midst of what has been a recent purple patch.

Storming their way to a deserved 2-0 win against Roma last weekend, the Nerazzurri have won each of their last five domestic appearances across all competitions and they have also enjoyed an extended romp against AC this season.

Lifting the Super Cup back in January thanks to a famous 3-0 romp, Simone Inzaghi’s men have secured back-to-back victories against the Rossoneri since opening 2023.

Ahead of what looks set to be another chapter in the Derby della Madonnina history books, we have created your ultimate AC Milan vs Inter Milan bet builder.

A fiery affair at the San Siro

In what promises to be an emotionally-charged affair from the San Siro on Wednesday night, it is no secret that the two Milan giants have a habit of producing fireworks.

Watching Inter claim a 1-0 victory when they last met their arch-rivals on February 5th for a Serie A showdown, that contest produced seven yellow cards combined between both camps.

Likewise, in what have been a trio of fiery affairs in their three domestic meetings this season, Wednesday’s opponents have seen a staggering 20 bookings across the board.

In fact, five of the last seven meetings between Wednesday’s opponents have seen at least five separate cards before the final whistle.

In what looks set to be another history-making affair between two of Europe’s most heated rivals, Spanish referee Jesus Gil Manzano could certainly have his work cut out for him at the San Siro.

Hernandez to lead AC’s aggressive approach

While both AC and Inter might have quite the reputation for causing chaos when they meet, it is the Rossoneri’s skipper who tends to find himself at the centre of most controversies.

Along with receiving his customary booking against Wednesday’s opponents when they suffered Super League heartbreak back on January 18th, Theo Hernandez has been shown a yellow card in three of his last four meetings against their fellow Italian giants.

Given his marching orders and handed a three-match along with a respective fine falling an altercation against AC 15 months ago, the 25-year-old has been brandished with some form of card in five of his previous seven meetings against the Nerazzurri.

Committing nine fouls in as many Champions League appearances this season, only fellow defender Pierre Kalulu has given away more European fouls during this year’s tournament.

Shown his second Champions League booking of the season as AC extended on their European adventure against Napoli on April 18th, Hernandez will almost certainly spearhead Pioli’s hands-on approach in midweek.

Lukaku getting back to his clinical best

If Inter are to secure a third straight victory against their historic local rivals, then it appears that Romelu Lukaku could have a key role to play on Wednesday night.

Although the Belgian ace might have endured a nightmare start on his return to the San Siro last summer, the Chelsea-loanee once again found the net away at Roma over the weekend and has continued to impress on either side of March’s international break.

Appearing to be getting back to his clinical best, the one-time Manchester United striker has now notched 12 goals in his last 18 appearances for club and country.

Recording four shots on target in his five Champions League appearances this season – ex-Manchester City star Eden Dzeko is the only other Inter Milan attacker who has recorded more shots on target this year.

Likewise, while Lukaku might still be waiting to make a first Champions League start this season, the 29-year-old is averaging a European goal every 35 minutes and he is also notching 0.9 shots on target per game.
