"Inter are tied for first place with Roma, and are leading the league despite defeats against Udinese, Juventus and Napoli. Milan are in third and two points back despite stumbles against Cremonese, Pisa and Parma. The Nerazzurri have struggled in the two big matches so far, while the Rossoneri have been the best in the league. Chivu's side are beating the 'lesser' teams with regularity, while Allegri's team continue to drop frustrating points due to defensive lapses."
"Inter have had an extremely positive performance in the Champions League: four wins out of four, eleven goals scored and only one conceded. Milan are not in Europe, but given there has been an international break, there is no advantage in this sense. Injuries Dumfries and Calhanoglu left their national teams with 'injuries' that merely appear to be excuses to make the most of the full week before the derby."
Inter and AC Milan prepare for the Derby della Madonnina with Inter tied for first alongside Roma and Milan two points behind in third. Both clubs underwent summer coaching changes: Cristian Chivu replaced Simone Inzaghi at Inter, and Massimiliano Allegri succeeded Sergio Conceicao at Milan. Inter have struggled in major domestic matches but dominate lesser opponents, while Milan have been strong overall yet prone to dropping points through defensive errors. Inter boast four wins from four in the Champions League, scoring eleven and conceding one. Several players are returning from injury and the squads may be near full strength by Thursday.
