A classic Italian derby takes place in the Champions League semifinal first-leg collision of AC Milan vs Inter Milan on Wednesday.

The city’s San Siro stadium will be rocking for this huge clash, with the second leg taking place at the same venue the following Tuesday.

Each team shares the iconic venue – with AC Milan the designated home team for the first leg.

Inter Milan currently sits in fourth place in Serie A with last season’s champion AC Milan one place below.

Meanwhile, these sides have won one match apiece against each other in the Italian league this season – with Inter Milan also successful in a meeting in the Super Coppa Italia.

Moreover, this tie ensures that one of the storied Milan clubs will compete in the Champions League final against Real Madrid or Manchester City in Istanbul in June.

AC Milan vs Inter Milan Over/Under & Spread

Inter Milan has scored no fewer than 14 times during a current run of four straight wins in Serie A – conceding just once.

It also scored five times in its Champions League quarter-final defeat of Benfica, conceding three.

AC Milan has not been so prolific with just six league goals in its last four Serie A fixtures, with two conceded.

It was a 2-1 aggregate winner over Napoli in the UCL  last eight.

This, however, is likely to be a tight affair with odds of +130 for there to be at least three goals (TG Ov 2.5.)

There are attractive odds of +750 for the game to be goalless (TG Un 0.5.)

Meanwhile, among the spread offers, Inter Milan is priced at +425 to win by at least two goals (Spread -1.5.)

AC Milan is priced at +190 to win by one goal (Spread -0.5.)

AC Milan vs Inter Milan Preview

Inter has won its last four Serie A games – with an impressive 2-0 away win at Roma last weekend.

This run has wiped out the worries caused by a prior run of five league games without a win.

It was a 2-0 winner away at Benfica in the UCL quarterfinal first leg. However, there were some unexpected defensive jitters in the return match, which was drawn 3-3 in Milan.

Therefore, its domestic form suggests it is heading into this meeting with its great city rival in the best form of the two sides.

AC Milan impressed in the UCL last eight – winning 1-0 at home against Napoli and holding it 1-1 in the away leg.

Napoli has now been crowned the new Serie A Champion.

However, in the Italian league, AC Milan has won twice and drawn twice in its last four games – succeeding 2-0 at home against Lazio last weekend.
