The hosts are heading into the match on the back of a narrow 1-0 win over Atalanta in the Coppa Italia quarter-final in the mid-week, while Milan suffered a surprise 5-2 league-defeat to Sassuolo, last Sunday.
Inter Milan and AC Milana are set to go head-to-head for the second time in less than three weeks, when they face each other in a Serie A fixture at San Siro on Sunday night. Inter thrashed their city rivals 3-0 to lift the Supercoppa Italiana title in Riyadh on January 18. Federico Dimarco opened the scoring inside the opening 10 minutes, before Edin Dzeko doubled the lead eleven minutes later. And then Lautaro Martinez’ 77th-minute effort sealed the win for Simone Inzaghi’s side.

Inter got the better of Atalanta, through Matteo Darmian’s lone goal three minutes before the hour-mark. The victory helped Inzaghi’s side to enter the last-4 stage of Coppa Italia, where they will face Juventus in a two-legged tie in April. Meanwhile, when it comes to the italian top flight, Nerazzuri’s last match ended in a 2-1 win over Cremonese, courtesy of Martinez’s brace. It was their 13th top flight victory of the season, taking their points tally to 40 from 20 matches, sitting at the second spot in the standings, 13 adrift of leaders Napoli.
Milan, on the other hand, are going through a tough period, having lost three consecutive games across all competitions. Last time out, Stefao Pioli’s side lost to Sassuolo, despite the fact that Olivier Giroud and Divock Origi got on the scoresheet. Their last win came against Salernitana, in the league, early in January, through first half strikes from Rafael Leao and Sandro Tonali. Since then, the Rossoneri haven’t won a match in their next six outings in all competitions. The poor run of form has seen the reigning champions drop down to fifth in the standings, with just 38 points to their name, 15 adrift of leaders Napoli.
Inter Milan Probable line-up: Onana, Skriniar, Acerbi, Bastoni, Darmian, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco, Martinez, Dzeko
