AC Milan headed into the Derby della Madonnina with an impressive recent record against their city rivals, having gone unbeaten in their previous seven meetings across all competitions, winning five of them. The Rossoneri had also won three of the last four Serie A derbies, including two consecutive 1–0 victories over Inter during the 2025/26 season. Milan had scored in each of their previous nine derbies, highlighting their ability to create chances against Inter’s defence. Although Inter entered the match unbeaten in Serie A, their captain and key goalscorer Lautaro Martínez was unavailable. With Milan’s dominant recent head-to-head record, attacking quality and Inter missing an important offensive threat, AC Milan to win was the betting angle we liked here.
