Italian Serie A football - Internazionale vs AC Milan

The biggest game in Italian football and one of the world`s great derbies is held tonight in Milan`s San Siro as Internazionale take on bitter rivals AC Milan. The first Milan Derby was held on January 10th 1910 and since then Milan has had the best of it, winning 106 times. However, tonight it is Inter who have the upper hand as they sit top of Serie A, six points clear of the Rossoneri.

The defending champions and current leaders have been made favourites for the game at 13/8 (bet $80 to win $130 profit), leaving Milan as underdogs at 2/1. Inter may top the table but Milan are the form side going into the game with eight wins in their last nine, recently winning 3-0 at Juventus. Inter have only won three of their last six matches but their confidence will be boosted by their 4-0 win over Milan when the sides met earlier this season. The draw is at 11/5.

The bookmakers believe the two teams are very evenly matched and have made a 1-1 draw the most likely result, priced at 11/2. A 1-0 win for Inter is at 7/1, with 2-0 at 11/1 and another 4-0 win at 100/1. A 1-0 win for Milan is at 8/1 with 2-0 at 14/1 and a goalless draw is available at 9/1.

Inter`s Argentinian striker Diego Milito is favourite to open the scoring tonight at 11/2, followed by wonderkid Mario Balotelli at 13/2 and Marko Arnautovic at 8/1. Milan`s best chance of scoring the first goal of tonight`s match is seen as Marco Borriello, priced at 7/1, with the in-form Ronaldinho at 8/1 and England legend David Beckham at 16/1.

Inter are 7/2 to lead tonight at both half-time and full-time and 9/2 to win after drawing at half-time, with the bookmakers offering 4/1 that both halves end in a draw. Milan are 9/2 to lead at both the interval and the final whistle and 6/1 to win after the scores are level at half-time.

The bookmakers seem to think that Inter will win another Serie A title this season and they have been made favourites at 2/5, having established a six point lead over Milan. However, with Milan`s recent form a win here would definitely put them right back in the race and they are 9/2 to overcome the large gap and foil their rivals this season.
