4 Ways to Cash In on the Milan Derby

When club football resumes, one of the highlights will be the different derby games to be played. And one of such derby games will be the one between Inter Milan and AC Milan. The first Milan derby of the season will see a side full of veterans take on a side bursting at the seams with young talent.

Rivalry, bragging rights (for the season), and points to climb up the table will be at stake at the San Siro this weekend. While both sides are unbeaten this season, Milan can extend their winning run to four games.

Derby games can go either way in football. However, you can still cash in on this particular one with these betting markets:

1. Inter to Win

AC Milan may be the in-form side at the moment. They have won 12 on the bounce now and haven’t lost in 23 games. But they have a bad history against their rivals. They have suffered a defeat at their hands in four of the last five meetings between both sides. What’s more?

You have to go all the way back to 2016 to find a Milan win over Inter in normal time. In a battle of old brains versus young legs, history is lurking in the corner, waiting to pounce.

2. Milan to Win First Half

The last time both sides clashed, it was a tale of two halves. After starting the game like a house on fire, Milan won the first half. The Rossoneri could not hold on to their lead though as they conceded four second-half goals.

In recent games, Milan have had a knack for winning the first half of their games. In their last nine games, they have won the first half seven times.

3. Cards

Derbies are known to be usually feisty and, sometimes, controversial. The Milan derby is no exception.

Although no player has been sent off in a Milan derby for a long time now, the yellow cards have been a constant feature in this clash. In the last nine editions of this game, eight of them saw at least five cards shown to various players, for various offenses.

4. Goals

When a Milan derby is played, you’re almost always assured that there’ll be goals.

Only twice, in the last 17 meetings between Inter and AC Milan, was a goal not scored. The last three meetings between both sides produced a combined 13 goals, nine of which were scored by Inter Milan. With the season still young and the players still fresh, you can expect a performance like no other from both sides, which should lead to goals.
