"It will be an important derby , one that could influence the outcome, but not be decisive. And, beyond the next match, Milan has already shown signs of being able to compete. The derby is always an unpredictable match. "Let's look at what happened last year, when Milan always came in as the underdog and never lost, winning three out of five matches. Inter, however, remains the strongest team in the league, it will be a good test.""
"Will the Pulisic-Leao pairing be used? "I think it's an ideal match for the two, although there's a question mark over their compatibility as a pair, especially when facing tight defences. That shouldn't be the case for Inter-Milan, however. Do you have any doubts about them? "Without a true centre-forward, it's an unknown quantity in more tight games. In my opinion, Leao isn't a centre-forward, and I don't know how comfortable he'll be in certain matches.""
Inter and Milan meet in a pivotal derby that could alter the standings with Inter two points clear. Milan drew 2-2 with Parma after squandering a two-goal lead, exposing inconsistency against lower-ranked teams despite strong results versus top opponents. The Pulisic-Leao pairing could suit open matches, but compatibility questions remain, especially against compact defenses. The absence of a traditional centre-forward creates uncertainty in tighter games, with Leao viewed as ill-suited to play as a focal striker and potential discomfort compared to alternatives like Nkunku.
