Inter take on the visitors Milan in the round 5 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, September 22nd at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro, Milan).
Inter won last season's Scudetto in great style. By early spring, there was no doubt that they would bring the championship title back to Milan. Moreover, they didn’t lose any key players over the summer—Alexis Sánchez and Cuadrado were already aging veterans. They even managed to sign Zieliński and Taremi, both of whom arrived on free transfers (the only money spent was on Josep Martínez, who remains a backup for the main goalkeeper, Sommer). So, it’s strange that while winning at home, the "Black and Blues" have already dropped points twice on the road, starting the season with a 2-2 draw against Genoa and nearly losing to Monza in the last round. In the Champions League against Manchester City, they played decent football, and a well-deserved 0-0 draw was the result.

Milan hasn’t benefited much from the coaching change so far. The "Rossoneri" spent several years under Stefano Pioli’s leadership. With him, they even won the Scudetto and secured a spot in the Champions League. However, the management clearly decided that the collaboration had run its course. They were just waiting for a reason to part ways with him and ultimately fired him despite finishing second in the league. The revamped "Red and Black" squad (which Zlatan Ibrahimović was actively involved in building) got a new coach—Paulo Fonseca returned to Italy, the former Shakhtar coach who left mixed impressions at Roma but led Lille to the Champions League last season. However, his start at Milan has been poor: 2-2 draws with Torino at home and Lazio away, followed by a loss to Parma. His sacking seemed imminent, but the club decided to give him at least another month. Fonseca responded with a 4-0 win over Venezia. But in the Champions League against Liverpool, despite an early goal from Pulisic, they ended up losing 3-1. If results don’t improve soon, a coaching change is inevitable, and replacements are already being considered.
The last six derbies, including Serie A, the Super Cup, and even the Champions League, have all ended in victories for the "Nerazzurri." Paulo Fonseca has probably already packed his bags—Inter is likely to defeat their struggling neighbors once again.
Prediction for the match: Inter to win.
