Inter Milan lead the Italian top flight on goals scored over Lazio after nine rounds of play and head into this tie with arch rivals AC Milan in excellent form.
However, form can go out of the window in derby ties and Saturday’s hosts will be looking to spring a surprise.
Hunting for their first Serie A title since 2021/22, AC Milan already find themselves seven points off the pace but a derby win could give Ruben Amorim’s side a new lease of life.

AC Milan v Inter Milan Prediction
Best Bet: AC Milan or Draw - Double Chance @ 8/11
Inter head into the first Derby della Madonnina of the season as defending Serie A champions and are in blistering form, but they have a torrid recent record against their arch rivals and that could come back to haunt them on Saturday.
The 19/20 favourites have not won any of their last seven meetings with AC Milan and lost both Serie A encounters last season, and they have already shown they are not infallible this season.
They lost to Club Brugge and Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League and dropped points to Roma earlier this season.
The Rossoneri have won three of their four Serie A home games and, boosted by the return of Adrien Rabiot, Mario Gila and Diego Moreira, they can extend their unbeaten derby streak at the San Siro.
Alternative Bet: Over 2.5 goals and both teams to score @ 5/6
The Nerazzurri are the leading goalscorers in Serie A and face an AC Milan side that have seen their fair share of goals recently, which could make for an entertaining derby tie at the San Siro.
Fourteen goals have been scored in the Rossoneri’s last three home matches, with Ruben Amorim’s side scoring eight and conceding six.
The visitors have seen goals at both ends in three of their last four on the road, netting eight and conceding five in this period.
AC Milan v Inter Milan Bet Builder Tip
Adrien Rabiot to score or assist
Goncalo Ramos 2+ shots
Marcus Thuram 1+ shots on target
Marcus Thuram 2+ fouls won
Pays 23/4
Adrien Rabiot has been the star of the show for AC Milan this season and his return from a short injury lay-off is a huge boost for Ruben Amorim’s side.
The France international has four goals and four assists in ten competitive appearances this season and four of these goal contributions have come in his last three starts for the club, making him an attractive prospect to contribute to the scoresheet.
Team-mate Goncalo Ramos had a difficult time against Bologna last time out, but he has averaged 2.94 shots per 90 minutes this term and has had at least two shots in seven of his last eight games for club and country.
At the opposite end of the pitch, Marcus Thuram is Inter Milan’s leader across several metrics, with 15 shots on target from 40 shots and a club-high 17 fouls drawn.
He has had at least one shot on target in eight of his nine starts this season and, in the absence of the injured Lautaro Martinez, will be the Nerazzurri’s attacking focal point, while he has been fouled eight times in his last three appearances.
