Inter v AC Milan Preview
This derby could be the best one in years. Both squads have been reinforced with quality signings and are looking to destroy their opponent. Inter, who are currently over their neighbours in the league table, have been in decent form. They have won five out of eight games and are looking to continue their victories.
On the other hand, AC Milan have been on a three-game win streak. After a slow start to the season, the Rossoneri have found their form. Higuain, Suso and Calhanoglu are one of the strongest attacking lines in Italy.
Both teams have an equal chance of winning, but what most are talking about is the battle of the two Argentinians – the two strikers who can make an impact in tonight’s game.
The Battle of The Argentinians: Icardi Against Higuain
Mauro Icardi. Gonzalo Higuain. Two names that are ruling European and Italian football. Both have made their mark and will surely go down in the history books. The Inter skipper is in top form and could give Milan some nightmares. It’s impossible to forget the hat-trick he scored in last season’s derby.
This season, he has five goals from eight games in all competitions. He is likely to score tonight as he is hungry for more. The 25-year-old is Inter’s outlet. His job is to stay near the goal and finish whatever ball he gets. The former Barcelona man can score from nearly any ball he gets – he is known to do so. He is expected to lead Inter in the derby.
Gonzalo Higuain: the man who can do it all. Dribble, pass, score, the Argentinian can do nearly anything on the field. Scoring six goals in seven games in all competitions, he strikes fear into opposition defenders. Last season, he scored a last-minute winner for Juventus against Inter and could still do so with the Rossoneri.
The former Real Madrid man has 288 career goals, a milestone that few can achieve. He will be the most experienced one to step on the pitch tonight. After being forced out by the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo, he is looking for revenge on his former club, his path starts against Inter.
At the end of the day, the game will be a thriller. A lot is expected from both sides and they will fight until the end to secure a victory. Tonight, the world will see if Milan will be red or blue.
