Sunday evening at the Meazza will host the first chapter of this season’s Derby della Madonnina. A win would allow Inter to push Allegri’s Milan down to five points behind, while a Rossoneri victory would mean overtaking the Nerazzurri in the standings.
Pre-match statistics: Cristian Chivu versus Massimiliano Allegri
On one side, Inter’s firepower, on the other, Milan’s solidity, which has conceded 9 goals compared to Chivu’s men’s 12. Different paths lead to the same goal, and the results against top teams have varied: Milan has earned 7 out of 9 points against Juventus, Napoli, and Roma. Inter struggled against Juventus and Napoli but performed better than Milan against mid- and lower-tier teams.
This will also be the derby of Chivu and Allegri:
The Livorno coach returns to the city derby on the Rossoneri bench: he won his first three matches against Inter, then recorded one draw and four losses. He needs to reverse this trend, relying on his experience, against the young but ambitious Chivu, whose Inter has won seven of eight home matches in official competitions this year, as relayed via Milan News.
