Inter Milan are out for revenge against struggling rivals AC Milan after their shock Supercoppa Italiana final collapse in Saudi Arabia.
The Italian champions blew a two-goal lead in Riyadh last month as Milan produced a miraculous second-half comeback to emerge 3-2 winners. It was the second successive derby defeat the Nerazzurri had suffered this season, having also crashed to a 2-1 loss in September. Now, title-chasing Inter will be desperate to make amends as they aim to keep within touching distance of leaders Napoli, who they trail by three points having played a game less.
The Rossoneri, on the other hand, have endured a miserable Serie A campaign and languish seventh in the table, two points adrift of a European spot. Results have slightly improved since Sergio Conceicao replaced sacked Paulo Fonseca in December, although they did fall to a shock 2-1 Champions League defeat away to Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday. There’s always plenty of goals and drama when these two European giants meet and here, Record Sport tells you everything you need to know ahead of this weekend’s showdown.
