Team news

AC Milan news

Sandro Tonali, Milan's main midfielder, will miss Tuesday's match due to suspension, therefore Ismael Bennacer, who has returned from a one-match Serie A suspension, will take his place. Meanwhile, Franck Kessie and Rade Krunic will compete with Brahim Diaz for a more advanced starting place.

Indeed, Stefano Pioli faces a variety of selection dilemmas ahead of his latest meeting with his former club, as Olivier Giroud, the Coppa Italia's joint-top scorer this season, has been consistently leading the line for Milan in the absence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and may require a rest.

'Ibra', another ex-Inter player, is currently out with an Achilles problem and is expected to miss out again, although in-form striker Rafael Leao could be asked to fill in through the middle instead.

Inter Milan news

Inter coach Simone Inzaghi is likely to recall both Lautaro Martinez and Milan Skriniar this week after resting both on Friday. Inzaghi can also call on January acquisition Robin Gosens after welcoming back Matias Vecino from injury last week.

Despite being out since September, the latter signed on loan from Atalanta and is now set to make his debut. The German winger may possibly do it right away, assuming Ivan Perisic's long-held left-back position.

After Friday's stalemate against Genoa, Martinez is on the verge of having his worst Serie A drought in over two years, having gone goalless in his past eight league appearances. Nonetheless, the Argentina striker will compete for a starting spot in the front two alongside Alexis Sanchez and Edin Dzeko, while another attacker Joaquin Correa is not due to recover from injury until the weekend.

AC Milan vs Inter Milan predictions

 Milan have started to wobble in the league since cruising to this stage with wins over Genoa and Lazio in the previous rounds, but they now face an Inter team that has had an even worse case of the February blues.

However, Inzaghi's players should win due to a desire for vengeance following their recent Derby setback and the improbability of their winless streak extended to a fifth match.
