"Inter are, by most definitions, running away with the scudetto as they are 10 points ahead of Milan. Milan have to look over their shoulder, as much, if not more than the gap ahead. Fifth place Como started this matchday nine points behind Milan and they won (beating Cagliari 2-1) to close the gap."
"Milan enter this match up having struggled to beat Cremonese. Chances were wasted and a now typical first half slow start had looked to condemn Milan to more dropped points. Very late Pavlovic and Leao goals rescued the points."
"Allegri has little defensive options and this means Tomori, De Winter and Pavlovic will start in front of Maignan. There is little chance of surprises elsewhere on the pitch with Fofana likely to remain preferred with Modric and Rabiot alongside him."
Inter and Milan meet in the Derby della Madonnina with Inter holding a commanding 10-point lead in the Serie A title race. Milan must balance their pursuit of Inter while defending against Como, who closed to within nine points after a victory. Milan recently struggled against Cremonese before late goals from Pavlovic and Leao secured points. Inter's Champions League exit leaves them focused solely on Serie A and Coppa Italia, potentially allowing more training and rest. Milan face defensive challenges with Gabbia and Loftus-Cheek sidelined, forcing Allegri to deploy Tomori, De Winter, and Pavlovic. Key players like Rabiot and Saelemaekers avoided suspension, while Bartesaghi may return to the bench.
