The twelfth round of the top Italian football competition will conclude with the Derby Della Madonnina on Sunday evening.
Background information, news and team form
The Derby Della Madonnina is always a big footballing feast in Italy, which can split entire families for a day. The two clubs are eternal rivals, yet they share a stadium together. Moreover, this year's 229th derby will be very important for both clubs, as the defending champions Inter would like to defend the Scudetto and the Rossoneri, on the other hand, would like to steal the trophy from their eternal rivals and, after 10 years, return it to Ac Milan.
The Rossoneri have entered this season in the best possible way. They haven't lost in Serie A so far, and thanks to that they share first place with Napoli, where both clubs have the same 31 points with Napoli having the better score. The Rossoneri boast the second-best defence and second-best attack this season. Strangely enough, Ac Milan's top strikers still include seasoned matadors in Olivier Giroud, who transferred from Chelsea London in the summer and already has 4 goals to his credit, and the now-healed Swede Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who has 3 goals and 1 assist. If the Rossoneri stay in this form until the end of the season they can really win the Italian Scudetto, everything is now in their hands. The only blemish on Ac Milan's performances is the matches in the Champions League, where they have returned after a few years. From their 4 games so far, they have only managed to add a single point to the table after a home draw with Porto, and their progression from the group is already almost impossible. Inter changed manager in the summer when Italian manager Antonio Conte left after two years, after being unable to find common ground with the owners on the future of the club and buying reinforcements. Antonio Conte did a tremendous job with Inter when he was able to unseat the then-dominant Juventus after just two seasons, who had managed to dominate Italy's top competition for nine years in a row. Funnily enough, Antonio Conte was the man who helped launch Juventus' dominance back then. Inzaghi became Inter's new manager, coming from Lazio of Rome and bringing with him his favourite striker Correa, who along with Edin Džeko now form Inter's main attacking duo after Inter's star Romelu Lukaku left for Chelsea of London. Inter are now 7 points behind Ac Milan in third place, and if Inter wants to defend the Scudetto, the Italian coach's charges will have to manage this duel. Inter may not be as dominant in the Italian top flight this season, but unlike Ac Milan, Inter are at least doing well in the Champions League, and so far it looks like Inter can make it to the knockout stages.
