The Derby della Madonnina will take place tomorrow evening and AC Milan’s number one goal will be to spoil the Scudetto party. Inter would officially claim the title with the win and this is something that the Rossoneri want to prevent.
A disappointing season went from bad to worse on Thursday as Milan were knocked out of the Europa League against Roma. The Giallorossi were comfortably better than the Rossoneri and it was most likely the final nail in the coffin for Stefano Pioli.
The manager has the opportunity to do something good before his exit, though, and that is preventing Inter from celebrating the Scudetto in the derby. According to today’s edition of Corriere dello Sport (see photo below), Pioli will rely on the usual starters for the big game.
Predicted Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Calabria, Gabbia, Tomori, Theo; Bennacer, Reijnders; Pulisic, Loftus-Cheek, Leao; Giroud.
Predicted Inter XI (3-5-2): Sommer, Pavard, Acerbi, Bastoni; Darmian, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Martinez.
14 points currently separate the two sides, with six games left to go including the derby, and this means that a draw would be enough to stop the Nerazzurri. However, it won’t be an easy task given the recent history in the fixture.
