Key Players
- Cristian Chivu’s flexible 3-5-2 system enables Inter to utilise their back three as a platform to build up play from, while their wing-backs are always a threat going forward, and they have the pace to really make their mark when they win the ball back in the opposition half.

Betting Insights
Inter’s odds to win on Sunday are 2.24 , but we feel the value is in the goal markets where 1.95 for Over 2.5 goals seems a tad high for a match that could see one side dominate and potentially win with a clean sheet.
Prediction
Milan will attempt to keep the scoring to a minimum, but Inter’s pressing and superior away form should see them edge a Derby della Madonnina that looks likely to have at least three goals in the match and a clean sheet for one of the sides, with BTTS - No at 2.1 a standout bet for the weekend.
