The teams are in very mixed form, with Inter Milan, who will be in the home dressing room on Sunday, having won eight of their last 10 matches, losing only once.
Simone Inzaghi’s side climbed to second place during that spell, while remaining 13 points behind title favorites Napoli, and won the Supercoppa final in Saudi Arabia against local rivals AC Milan with a 3-0 win two and a half weeks ago.
The Nerazzurri are fresh after beating four rivals Atalanta to reach the Coppa Italia semi-finals on Tuesday night.
Stefano Pioli’s Milan side had a six-point cushion between second- and fifth-placed Roma just a month ago after their win at Salernitana.
But the Rossoneri have since gone six games without a win and have lost four of their last five games in all competitions, exiting the Coppa Italia and losing in the aforementioned Supercoppa Italiana final.
Back-to-back 3-0, 4-0 and 5-2 defeats, including the most recent at home to relegation-threatened Sassuolo, have derailed their slim hopes of a title challenge and now leave the club in fifth place.
Milan can cheer themselves up knowing they are just two points behind their city rivals and will take them back into the top four with a win on Sunday night.
The teams have won two each in their last six meetings in all competitions, although Inzaghi leads head-to-head against Pioli 8-5 before Sunday, and the 46-year-old side are favorites to open the gap between the sides. two to five. points.
