AC Milan take on the visitors Inter in the first leg of UEFA Champions League semifinals. The match will be played on Wednesday, May 10th at Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro – Milan).
AC Milan were unable to retain the Scudetto. Moreover, at the moment, they have a much more modest but undoubtedly important goal on the domestic front: to finish in the top 4, in the Champions League zone. Currently, the "Red and Blacks" are in 5th place, despite defeating one of their competitors, Lazio, in the previous round. However, all the competitors are close, within a few points, so Milan needs to win in the final stretch. One notable achievement for Stefano Pioli is the breakthrough in the Champions League. In the previous cycle, the Italians managed to return to the competition, only to finish 4th in their group during the group stage. Now they have not only reached the playoffs but have also defeated two opponents there. While many attributed their success in the Round of 16 to Tottenham's problems (1-0 at home, 0-0 away), they convincingly eliminated Napoli, a strong contender who performed well in the Italian league.

According to insiders, Inter have been periodically searching for a potential new coach this season. However, Simone Inzaghi currently has more than enough arguments in his favor, in all directions. Yes, there was a slump for the Nerazzurri, a long one within Serie A, but they managed to rectify many things with a series of victories. After a 2-0 win against Roma, they managed to hold on to the coveted 4th position. They also achieved a resounding 3-0 victory over Milan in the Super Cup, defending their status as the holders of that trophy. In the Coppa Italia, the Nerazzurri successfully defeated Juventus in the Round of 16 and will be the favorites in the decisive match against Fiorentina. In the Champions League, they pleasantly surprised everyone in the autumn by winning their head-to-head battle for 2nd place in the group against Barcelona, winning at home and drawing away. In the playoffs, they followed a similar recipe for success against Portuguese teams. They won the first leg and then drew in the second leg, both against Porto and Benfica.
In this Serie A campaign, both sides have exchanged victories. The 3-0 victory in favor of Inter in the Super Cup has already been mentioned. Bookmakers consider Inter the favorite in this showdown. However, the game between the neighbors will be quite entertaining. We bet on a neutral "total over 2.0 goals."
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 scored goals.
