Only six more rounds are left to be played in the 2023-24 Italian Serie A, so the chance is slim that the second-placed AC Milan will be able to leapfrog the table leader Inter Milan even with a win in the Derby della Madonnina. After all, Inter has a 14-point advantage right now.
However, AC Milan does have huge motivation to win the game on Monday. As Juventus is relatively close with just six points behind (ahead of the 33rd round), the Rossoneri need a win to secure the No. 2 place in the standings.
And even if that wasn’t the case, they want to win the Derby della Madonnina to get one over their arch-rivals.

AC Milan Going All-In on Monday’s Game
This game is important for AC Milan for several reasons, the biggest being that losing on Monday could get the Rossoneri in trouble. Juventus is dangerously close, and AC Milan will have to play against that team in the next round. And that game will be played on Juve’s turf.
The one on Monday will take place at Stadio Guiseppe Meazza, with most of the tickets being allocated to AC Milan fans as this team is labeled as the home side. With the help of their fans, the red-and-blacks are expected to give all they’ve got on the field. And they’ve got a lot of talent this year!
AC Milan is a great team with some really good offensive players, including Olivier Giroud, Rafael Leao, and Christian Pulisic. Their defense, however, hasn’t been too impressive, conceding 37 goals in 32 games. There’s just one team in the Top 10 of the Serie A that’s allowed more goals than them (Napoli with 40).
Inter Has a Chance to Win the Serie A Title on April 22
If Inter wins the Derby della Madonnina on Monday, these guys will secure the Serie A title. In that case, it won’t matter what happens in the remainder of the season as AC Milan (or any other team) won’t be able to catch up with them.
So, can they pull it off? Well, Inter Milan is the best Italian team in 2024, the evidence being that Nerazzurri are at the top of the table with a 26-5-1 record and a score differential of 77-17. They’ve scored more goals than any other team in the league, while also conceding the least number of goals.
Inter Milan’s striker Lautaro Martinez is the league’s top-scorer with 23 goals to his name, while Marcus Thuram and Hakan Calhanoglu have scored 11 goals each so far.
AC Milan vs. Inter Milan Prediction
The last time they met, Inter Milan beat AC Milan 5-1. Although we don’t expect to see another blowout win, we do think Inter will win again. But this time, we expect AC Milan to put on a better fight.
