This Saturday will be played one of the most important derbies in Europe. On matchday 4 of Serie A, Inter and AC Milan will face each other at the Giuseppe Meazza stadium looking for a victory that will allow them to remain at the top of the standings. Both teams started the 2023/24 season in an ideal way, with 3 wins in their first 3 matches. Therefore, whoever wins will be the sole leader of the tournament.

 

Inter had as good a start as the end of the previous season, when they reached the Champions League final against Manchester City. In the first match they defeated Monza 2-0, then Cagliari 2-0 and finally Fiorentina 4-0. This means that they have not conceded any goals yet. Moreover, they have the top scorer of the tournament, Lautaro Martinez, who in 3 matches netted 5 times.

Coach Simone Inzaghi decided that the starting lineup will be: Yann Sommer; Matteo Darmian, Francesco Acerbi, Alessandro Bastoni; Denzel Dumfries, Nicolo Barella, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Federico Dimarco, Hakan Calhanoglu; Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram. In addition, on the bench will be stars such as Benjamin Pavard, Stefan De Vrij, Davy Klaassen, Davide Frattesi, Juan Cuadrado and Alexis Sanchez.

AC Milan also won their first 3 matches (2-0 against Bologna, 4-1 against Torino and 2-1 against AS Roma) showing a great level, especially from attacking players such as Olivier Giroud, Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao. Coach Stefano Pioli chose this XI: Mike Maignan; Davide Calabria, Malick Thiaw, Simone Kjaer, Theo Hernandez; Rade Krunic, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Tijjani Reijnders; Christian Pulisic, Rafael Leao, Olivier Giroud.

 

Juventus put the pressure on

This Saturday La Vecchia Signora beat Lazio 3-1 in Turin, with two goals from Dusan Vlahovic and one from Federico Chiesa. They became Serie A leaders with 10 points, one more than Inter and AC Milan.
