AC Milan host Inter Milan at their shared home ground of San Siro for the first leg of the UEFA Champions League Semifinals. Inter Milan are currently in fourth place in the Serie A standings, and they have been fairly impressive so far this season. They beat AS Roma 2-0 convincingly in their last outing over the weekend to maintain their impressive recent form. Meanwhile, AC Milan are in fifth place in the league table at the moment, and have had their struggles earlier in the season. This encounter represents the re-emergence of the Italians in the Champions league as a force to reckon with once again. The winner from these two then takes their place in the showpiece finale early next month against either Real Madrid or Manchester City. I am expecting a win or a draw for AC Milan from this encounter for the following reasons:

Firstly. AC Milan have been fairly impressive in this edition of the Champions league tournament. They were runners-up in their Group E, and then went on to topple Tottenham in the Round 16 to set up a meeting with the then high flying Napoli in the Quarterfinals. With the odds against them, they beat Napoli in the Quarterfinals with convincing performances in both legs. They are presently in a good form in all competitions, as they remain unbeaten from their last nine games. And they are coming into this game off of the back of their 2-0 win over Lazio in their last outing.

Secondly. Inter Milan themselves are in a pretty good form too. Since the pulsating 3-3 draw with Benfica that sealed their passage into the Champions League semi-finals, they have since brushed aside Empoli, Lazio, Verona and Roma by scoring 14 times and conceding just once, in addition to the Derby d'Italia victory over Juventus in the Coppa Italia. They are coming into this match on the back of the five game winning run. They have shown marked improvement in recent weeks and will look to build on their impressive recent record.

Since their 2-0 loss against Chelsea in the UCL group stage, AC Milan have shown a remarkedly progress and a new sense of determination in their performances leading to this semifinals. They are very compact, structured, and are not easily broken out of shape. With winning the Champions League their most likely route to the competition next season, they are extra-motivated to go through. As Inter Milan are not a team to walk over, I expect a tough match. A draw will be a likely outcome. But if anyone is going to win this match, it would be AC Milan; so, a win or a draw for AC Milan.

欧洲冠军联赛半决赛首回合比赛，AC米兰将在圣西罗主场迎战国际米兰。国际米兰目前在意甲积分榜上排名第四，本赛季到目前为止，他们的表现相当出色。在上周末的最后一场比赛中，他们以2-0击败了罗马，保持了最近令人印象深刻的状态。与此同时，AC米兰目前在积分榜上排名第五，并且在本赛季早些时候遇到了困难。这场比赛代表了意大利人在冠军联赛中再次崛起，再次成为一支不可忽视的力量。这两支球队中的胜者将在下个月初对阵皇马或曼城的决赛中占有一席之地。我期待AC米兰在这场比赛中取胜或平局，原因如下:

首先。AC米兰在这一届欧冠联赛中表现得相当出色。他们是E组的亚军，然后在第16轮击败热刺，在四分之一决赛中与当时高飞的那不勒斯相遇。在赔率不高的情况下，他们在四分之一决赛中以两回合令人信服的表现击败了那不勒斯。目前，他们在各项赛事中都保持着良好的状态，在过去的9场比赛中保持不败。他们在上一场比赛中以2-0战胜拉齐奥，之后迎来了这场比赛。

其次。国际米兰本身的状态也很好。自从3-3战平本菲卡，锁定了进入欧冠半决赛的机会之后，除了在意大利杯的意大利德比中战胜尤文图斯外，他们还以14球1失的战绩击败了恩波利、拉齐奥、维罗纳和罗马。他们是在五连胜的基础上进入这场比赛的。他们在最近几周表现出了明显的进步，并将在最近令人印象深刻的记录上再接再厉。

在欧冠小组赛0比2输给切尔西后，AC米兰在半决赛中表现出了明显的进步和新的决心。它们结构紧凑，不易变形。赢得欧冠是他们下赛季最有可能的途径，他们有额外的动力去晋级。由于国际米兰不是一支可以轻易超越的球队，我预计这将是一场艰难的比赛。结果很可能是平局。但如果有谁能赢得这场比赛，那一定是AC米兰;所以，AC米兰是赢是平。
