Inter vs AC Milan

Inter have won the last six Milan derbies in all competitions by an aggregate score of 14-2, a record for consecutive wins for the Nerazzurri against the Rossoneri. Overall, neither team has ever achieved seven straight wins in the history of the Derby della Madonnina in all competitions (Milan also 6 between 1911-1913 and 1946-1948).

The first Milan Derby of the season is being played on one of the opening five matchdays for the fifth time in the last six seasons, as many times as across the previous 46 Serie A campaigns played in by both teams. Milan are unbeaten in each of the last seven derbies played on matchday 5 (W5 D2), the last of which came in 2022/23 (3-2 in September 2022).

Inter have won nine of their last 14 games against Milan in Serie A (D2 L3). In the same period (since 2017/18), only against Udinese (10) and Hellas Verona (10) have the Nerazzurri achieved more wins, and only against Genoa (31) and Sampdoria (30) have they scored more goals than versus the Rossoneri (29) in the top-flight.

Milan have won as few as five points from their opening four Serie A games of a season for the first time since 2018/19 (W1 D2 L1 in both), but they haven’t failed to pick up more than five points after five games of a campaign since 2013-14 under Massimiliano Allegri (W1 D2 L2).

Inter have drawn four of their last six Serie A games (W2), as many draws as they had across their previous 28 matches in the competition (W23 D4 L1).
