With all eyes falling on the San Siro this weekend, AC Milan and Inter Milan will meet for a blockbuster Serie A showdown on Saturday night.

With a stacked schedule from across Europe’s elite, there are plenty of eye-catching betting promotions available.

Ahead of what is a mouth-watering battle from the San Siro on Saturday, you can find all of the key AC Milan vs Inter Milan H2H stats here.

Starting with the Rossoneri, putting in a concerning performance on Wednesday evening as they were hit with a maiden Serie A defeat of the season, AC Milan are certainly bracing themselves for another stern examination here. Eventually slipping to a thrilling 4-2 loss at home against Bologna, Ruben Amorim’s men are still searching for some recent stability. Putting in a nightmare Europa League display last week as they slumped to a 3-0 drumming against Bournemouth, the former Manchester United boss will also have a mounting headache over his side’s defensive struggles. Despite marking their return from September’s extended international break with an action-packed 3-2 victory against Atalanta, AC Milan have registered just a pair of clean sheets from any of their opening nine Serie A appearances.

Both still dealing with respective injury issues, AC Milan are once again expected to be without the duo of French international Adrien Rabiot and former Atalanta star Alexis Saelemaekers this weekend. Likewise, Amorim’s side have already confirmed that ex-Chelsea star Ruben Loftus-Cheek will miss out on Saturday night after sustaining a recent thigh issue.

Settling for a spot on the bench against Bologna in midweek, 41-year-old Luka Modric will be handed an immediate full recall in the middle of the park. Bagging a pair of consolation strikes at the San Siro on Wednesday, Italian starlet Alphadjo Cisse will keep his spot from the start.

As for the reigning Serie A champions, while Inter Milan might have struggled to find their feet on the European stage this year, Cristian Chivu’s side have embarked on yet another sensational domestic romp. Last seen earlier in the week claiming a deserved 2-0 victory away at Venezia, the former Verona boss finds his squad once again leading the chase at the top of the Serie A standings. Marking their return from September’s international break with a thumping 3-0 win at home against Parma, Inter Milan have registered 25 points from their opening nine top-flight appearances. Almost universally regarded as the standout contender to shatter even more domestic records this season, the Nerazzurri will be confident of making another public statement this weekend.

Still recovering from a recent thigh injury, Inter Milan have already confirmed that talismanic skipper Lautaro Martinez will miss out here. Likewise, all dealing with their own respective muscle issues, the Nerazzurri will be without the English duo of Curtis Jones and John Stones this weekend.

Settling for a spot on the bench away at Venezia earlier in the week, Italian international Nicolo Barella will return in the middle of the park. Registering seven direct goal contributions in his first eight Serie A appearances so far this season (seven goals, two assists), Marcus Thuram will spearhead Inter Milan’s charge in the final third.

While AC Milan might have won each of their previous three consecutive meetings against their arch-rivals, Amorim’s inconsistent squad will be bracing themselves for a monumental challenge this weekend. Eventually falling to a rollercoaster 4-2 loss at home against Bologna in midweek, Inter Milan will be looking to extend on their dominant start to proceedings. Unbeaten in all of their opening nine straight Serie A appearances and once again leading the chase at the top of the table, we are backing the reigning Italian champions to make a public statement at the San Siro.
