Inter take on the visitors AC Milan in the second leg of UEFA Champions League semifinals. First leg result: 2-0. The match will be played on Tuesday, May 16th at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro - Milan).
Inter, or rather their management, have been somewhat actively considering the question of changing their current coach. Although it seems unfair, as it appears that Simone Inzaghi is doing quite well. Yes, there have been some problems in this Serie A cycle, but they managed to improve from mid-spring onwards, returning to the top 4 after victories over direct competitors such as Lazio and Roma. The win against Sassuolo secured them the 3rd place, but it's still too early to assume that all the issues have been resolved. Furthermore, just like last year, they won the Super Cup, defeating Milan in a convincing manner. They have also reached the final of the Coppa Italia, with a convincing victory over Juventus in the semi-finals. And of course, we cannot ignore the Champions League. They managed to secure the 2nd place in the group, winning against Barcelona. This recipe of "winning the first match and drawing the second" was successfully implemented in the knockout stage as well. They won against Porto at home in the round of 16 and against Benfica in Lisbon in April. Last week, they had a strong start with quick goals from Dzeko and Mkhitaryan, and they were able to maintain the 2-0 lead in the end.

AC Milan under Stefano Pioli have had memorable seasons. In the previous campaign, winning the Scudetto was undoubtedly the pinnacle. However, by winter, it was clear that they couldn't retain the title, and in 2023, they faced failures in the Super Cup and the Italian Cup. Currently, they are engaged in a tough battle to at least finish in the top 4 in the domestic arena. The competition is high, and the "red and blacks" could potentially end up being the "fifth wheel" in this race. Especially after their loss to even modest Spal, who is fighting to avoid relegation, in the last round. However, this season has been successful in the Champions League, especially compared to the previous edition when they finished in the group stage in 4th place. This time, they not only made it to the knockout stage but also dealt with some significant opponents. It may not have been impressive, but it was pragmatic enough to achieve results against both the inconsistent Tottenham and the current Calcio flagship, Napoli. However, they suffered a 0-2 defeat against Inter in their recent encounter. Now they need to win to take the match into overtime. Do they believe they have a chance to achieve this?
Both "Derby della Madonnina" matches have already been played in this Serie A season, and the neighbors exchanged victories. Additionally, in the Super Cup, Inter won 3-0 against their historical rival. "Rossoneri" are simply out of form at the most inappropriate moment. We bet that Inter will be able to win again.
Prediction for the match: Inter to win.
