Fotball Prediction
Inter Milan hosts arch rivals AC Milan for the second leg of the Champions League semi final on Tuesday at San Siro.
Inter Milan who have a healthy 2-0 lead warmed up for the clash with a 4-2 win over Sassuolo on Saturday while their city rivals floundered 2-0 at Serie A strugglers Spezia. A Romelu Lukaku brace on his 30th birthday, a further strike from Lautaro Martinez and an unfortunate Ruan Tressoldi own goal were enough for Inter to claim a seventh straight win in all competitions to boost their chances of qualifying for next season’s edition of Europe’s top club competition.
Two second-half goals secured lowly Spezia a shock 2-0 home win over AC Milan in Serie A on Saturday, condemning Stefano Pioli’s side to their first league loss in two months and denting their top-four hopes. It remains to be seen how they will bounce back against Inter on Tuesday as they try to reach the Champions League finals.

Verdict
While Inter has been cruising in recent games where they have won their last seven games, Milan has only registred one win in their last five games. Goals haven’t been a problem for Inter too and while they have been prowling, a derby is always a different ball game but since Milan are down, they have no option but to come out and try score goals.
Verdict: Over 2.5 ❌
Anytime Goalscorer
Romelu Lukaku❌
The Belgian is just returning into the first team after sometime in the cold and wants to prove a point. He already scored over the weekend in preparation for the game and should he start, he would be doing everything to ensure that Inter make it to the finals of the competiton for the first tme sicne 2010.
Olivier Giroud❌
Milan needs goals and are likely to parade an attack minded side in this tie. Giroud operated on a lone striking role in the first leg but more attacking players in the squad should give him the support he requires to trouble Inter defence. Having a tendency of scoring goals when least expected, ignoring him would be Inter’s mistake.
