Inter Milan will have the opportunity to climb at the top of the Serie A table with a win against arch rivals AC Milan, who have struggled to make an impression so far.
Inter showed some improvement last season after Mancini took over and with the new transfers in the summer, the Nerazzuri really seem a different team than in the past couple of years. Signing like Kondogbia or Jovetic proved crucial so far, with the Montenegro star leading the line in attack and scoring all of Inter’s three goals (Atalanta, Carpi). Inter dominated both of those games with an average of 65% possession + a lot of chances and fully deserved to win even by bigger margins – despite both victories coming late and only by one goal.
AC Milan also made a number of signings, rejuvenating the offensive lineup with Bacca, Luiz Adriano and most recently Balotelli, but the visitors weren`t able to produce anything resembling good football in the first two rounds. A clear 0-2 defeat at the hands of Fiorentina was followed by an unimpressive 2-1 home win against poor Empoli – a match that Milan could not dominate and in which they barely had more chances than their opponents – a really weak performance overall.

Team news & lineups:
Vidic, Dodo and Mirand will not be available for Inter, while AC Milan will miss Bertolacci, Menez, Antonelli and Niang – with Balotelli set to start on the bench, likely making an appearance in the second half.
Inter Milan: Handanovic – Jesus, Murillo, Ranocchia, Santon – Brozovic, Medel, Kondogbia – Perisic, Jovetic, Icardi
AC Milan: Lopez – Abate, Romagnoli, Zapata, De Sciglio – Kucka, De Jong, Bonaventura – Honda – Adriano, Bacca
Inter clearly looks to be the more solid team right now, better organized and surely playing better football right now. While they are still not world beaters, they play against a side that is out of form and still doesn`t look to have any cohesion or tactical consistency. Inter failed to beat AC Milan since 2013, so this looks like the perfect chance for them to break that run.
My tip is Inter Milan to win with a -0,25 asian handicap, it should be a close match but the hosts should just have too much in the end – they are the better team, in better form, play at home and are high on confidence. Prediction: Inter Milan – AC Milan 2-1.
Pick: Inter (-0,25 Asian Handicap)

I disagree with this tip.
Both teams changed almost half their squads, and it’s true that Inter looks a lot better after the first 2 rounds.
But truth be said, Inter’s coach Mancini is 0, he never won anything important, and usually all of his teams underperformed..
I respect that, but Inter looked pretty good to me, creating chances with ease, particularly against Atalanta. AC Milan looks unchanged from the last season. The loss with Fiorentina was one thing, but to play an even match with Empoli at home, like you were Frosinone or Bologna, that just proved Milan`s struggles right now.
