Inter Milanvs.AC Milan

Inter, who held Manchester City to a goalless draw in the Champions League on Wednesday night, are currently third in the Serie A table, two points behind the leaders Udinese.

Meanwhile, Milan are 10th, having only picked up five points from their first four games of the season, and the Italian giants will enter the match off the back of a 3-1 home loss to Liverpool in the Champions League.

Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides ahead of what is one of the biggest matches in world football.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 239

Inter Milan wins: 91

Draws: 69

AC Milan wins: 79

These two giants of Italian football have met on 239 occasions throughout history, and it is Inter that lead to head-to-head record, having won 91 times to Milan's 79, while there have also been 69 draws.

In Serie A, the pair have locked horns 180 times, with Inter posting 70 wins to Milan's 54, while there have been 56 draws between the two teams in the top flight of Italian football.

Andriy Shevchenko is the all-time leading goalscorer in this fixture, having scored 14 times against Inter during his time with Milan, with eight of those goals coming in Serie A.

This is a fixture that has recently been dominated by Inter, with the Black and Blues incredibly winning each of their last six meetings in all competitions, including a 2-1 Serie A success towards the end of last season.

Inter beat Milan 5-1 in their 'home' Serie A fixture in 2023-24, meanwhile, and they were also winners over their rivals home and away in the semi-finals of the Champions League in 2022-23.

Milan have not actually managed to overcome Inter since a 3-2 success in the league back in September 2022, which is their only victory in their last nine Milan derbies.

Going back further, Milan have beaten Inter just three times since December 2017, which is an indication of the size of their task when it comes to collecting all three points this weekend.

That said, Milan have managed to triumph in two of the last five Serie A clashes between the two sides, while they have lost only four of the last eight top-flight encounters.

Milan's best recent run against Inter came between November 2002 and February 2004, when they won four straight league games, but they will enter Sunday's game having lost their last three Serie A encounters with the Black and Blues, conceding eight times in the process.
