Serie A Derby: Milan vs. Inter – Match Preview, Probable Line-ups & TV Broadcast
AC Milan will rely on key attackers Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic in the upcoming Derby della Madonnina against city rivals Inter. Inter, meanwhile, is expected to feature talents like Francesco Pio Esposito and Ange-Yoan Bonny in their attack.
The highly anticipated match is scheduled to kick off at 20:45 CET (19:45 GMT) at Milan's iconic Stadio San Siro.
Inter currently leads the Serie A standings, holding a commanding 10-point advantage over their cross-city rivals, AC Milan.
The Nerazzurri face this crucial derby without their captain and top scorer, Lautaro Martinez. Additionally, Marcus Thuram is unlikely to feature from the start due to a recent fever.
AC Milan also has its own set of challenges, with Santiago Gimenez, Matteo Gabbia, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek all unavailable. While Davide Bartesaghi has recovered from a minor injury sustained last weekend against Cremonese, Pervis Estupiñán is anticipated to start in the left midfield role.
Reports indicate that Hakan Çalhanoğlu might start on the bench for Inter, potentially paving the way for Nicolò Barella, Piotr Zielinski, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan to command the central midfield.
Milan's attack will again be spearheaded by the dynamic duo of Pulisic and Leao, with Niclas Füllkrug and Christopher Nkunku ready to provide impact from the bench.
Where to Watch Milan vs. Inter on TV
The derby will be broadcast live on TNT Sports 1 and DAZN for viewers in the UK and Ireland, and on Paramount+ in the USA.
Probable Line-ups for Milan vs. Inter
Milan (3-5-2): Maignan; Tomori, De Winter, Pavlovic; Saelemaekers, Fofana, Modric, Rabiot, Estupiñán; Leão, Pulisic.
Inter (3-5-2): Sommer; Bisseck, Akanji, Bastoni; Luis Henrique, Barella, Zielinski, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Esposito, Bonny.
