Inter enters this big derby with the imperative to win if they want to keep any chances behind the leader Napoli, who currently has a 13-point advantage. They have been in pretty good shape lately and will definitely want to use that against their biggest rival who is in big trouble. Inter have been playing really well lately and have only lost once in their last 10 games. Empoli won against Inter, but I must emphasize that Inter played most of the match with one less player and it is a big question what the final outcome of that match would have been if they were complete. They won eight of the past ten fixtures, and they also won nine of their past ten appearances at home. Playing in front of the home fans certainly plays a big role in this kind of game, and the fans will definitely give great support to their team. The fact that they have scored 20 goals in their last 9 home games shows that some of their best games are on their home field. They enter this match with much more self-confidence than their big rival, given that they secured a place in the semi-finals of the cup with a 1-0 victory over Atalanta. Barella, Brozovic and de Vrij are returning to the team, which will only further strengthen Inter.

In complete contrast to Inter, Milan have been playing incredibly and unexpectedly poorly in the last few games. In the last 6 games, they did not record a single victory and have only 2 draws and as many as 4 losses. Defeats in themselves would not be so worrying, but the results of those games and the game that Milan showed, especially in defense, are very worrying. In the mentioned 6 games, they conceded as many as 16 goals, and I certainly have to highlight the convincing defeats against Lazio (4-0) and the completely unexpected defeat at home against Sassuolo (5-2). The away game is not their strong point, because before the last victory over the very weak Salernitana, they achieved their last victory as a guest in the middle of October. With this kind of self-destruction in the last few rounds, they really put their place in the Champions League into question. The fight for that place is very big, the teams are separated by a small number of points, and it is necessary for Milan to start playing better as soon as possible. This biggest derby in Italy certainly does not come at the right moment for them, because their confidence is at a very low level and I would not be surprised if they enter this match more nervous than they should be, which will certainly affect their game. Milan will also have a lot of problems with the absence of a significant number of important players. Bennacer, Tomori, and the team's first goalkeeper Maignan will not be available due to injury. Dest, who has not completely healed his injury, is also under a big question mark. At the moment, Inter really seem like a much superior team than their city rivals, and if we add to all of the above the factor of playing in front of their own fans, I really have to give the advantage to Inter.

国际米兰进入这场重要的德比战，如果他们想保持领先领头羊那不勒斯的任何机会，他们就必须取胜，后者目前拥有 13 分的优势。他们最近状态很好，肯定想用它来对付遇到大麻烦的最大对手。国际米兰最近打得非常好，在过去的 10 场比赛中只输了一场。恩波利赢了国际米兰，但我必须强调，国际米兰在比赛的大部分时间里都少了一名球员，如果他们完成比赛，那场比赛的最终结果会是一个很大的问题。他们在过去十场比赛中赢了八场，并且在过去十场主场比赛中赢了九场。在这样的比赛中，在主场球迷面前踢球肯定是有很大的作用的，球迷们肯定会给予他们球队很大的支持。他们在最近 9 场主场比赛中打进 20 球的事实表明，他们的一些最佳比赛是在主场进行的。他们以更多的方式参加这场比赛鉴于他们以1-0击败亚特兰大获得了杯赛半决赛的席位，因此比他们的主要对手更加自信。巴雷拉、布罗佐维奇和德弗赖正在回归球队，这只会进一步加强国米。

与国际米兰形成鲜明对比的是，米兰在最近几场比赛中的表现令人难以置信和出乎意料的糟糕。在最近的6场比赛中，他们没有取得一场胜利，只有2平4负。失败本身并不会那么令人担忧，但那些比赛的结果以及米兰展示的比赛，尤其是在防守方面，非常令人担忧。在提到的6场比赛中，他们丢了多达16个球，我当然要强调对拉齐奥的令人信服的失利（4-0）和主场完全出乎意料的对萨索洛的失利（5-2）。客场比赛并不是他们的强项，因为在上一场战胜实力非常弱的萨勒尼塔纳之前，他们在10月中旬取得了最后一场做客胜利。有了这个最近几轮有点自毁，他们真的让自己在欧冠的位置受到质疑。那个位置的争夺非常大，两支球队之间的差距很小，米兰需要尽快开始踢得更好。这场意大利最大的德比对他们来说来得不是时候，因为他们的信心处于非常低的水平，如果他们进入这场比赛比他们应该的更紧张，我不会感到惊讶，这肯定会影响他们的比赛。由于缺少大量重要球员，米兰也将面临很多问题。本纳赛尔、托莫里和球队第一门将迈尼昂将因伤缺席。伤势还未完全痊愈的德斯特，也被打上了大大的问号。目前，国际米兰看起来确实比他们的同城对手强得多，如果我们把上述所有因素都加上在他们自己的球迷面前比赛，我真的必须把优势让给国米。
