Inter Milan and AC Milan, both undefeated in Serie A so far, are set to clash at San Siro on Saturday evening, competing for the top spot in the league. This highly anticipated match marks the first Derby della Madonnina of the season, where these two Italian football giants will go head to head.

Inter Milan holds a remarkable record of four consecutive wins against AC Milan without conceding a single goal, establishing a club record. Now, they are aiming to secure a fifth consecutive victory in the Milan derby for the very first time in their 114-year history. More importantly, Inter is vying for the top position in Serie A and hoping to make an early impact in the title race.

Despite losing the Scudetto to AC Milan in 2022, Inter has bounced back impressively with four consecutive wins, notably taking the lead in each of their last 10 derbies across Serie A, Coppa Italia, and the Champions League.

Simone Inzaghi's team has also had an impressive start to the 2023-24 season, winning all three of their opening fixtures without conceding a single goal. Their last such strong start dates back to 1966, and they haven't allowed a single Serie A goal since May, when Atalanta scored in stoppage time.

This resilience positions Inter as strong contenders for regaining the Scudetto, an achievement that has eluded them during Inzaghi's tenure, and possibly advancing further in the Champions League, where they narrowly missed out on the title last season.

While Inter will begin their continental campaign against Real Sociedad next week, their focus now lies squarely on dominating the Derby della Madonnina.

AC Milan, despite facing setbacks in recent derbies, particularly in last season's Champions League semi-final, has won three of their last six league meetings with Inter, as many as in the previous 19 combined.

Milan's strong start to the season, with three consecutive wins, mirrors their performance in three of the last four seasons. Their midfield overhaul during the summer has contributed to this success. Even with a red card against Roma, Milan managed to secure a gritty 2-1 victory, showcasing their determination.

The duel between Inter's captain Lautaro Martinez and Milan's ageless striker Olivier Giroud will be a key factor in determining the outcome of this week's derby. Martinez has a track record of eight goals against Milan in all competitions and has already scored five times in three club games this season.

As both teams prepare for this high-stakes match, the San Siro promises to be a stage for intense football rivalry and a battle for Serie A supremacy.

Inter has secured victory in their last four meetings with Milan, not conceding a single goal - a club record. They now aim for a historic fifth consecutive Milan derby win, a feat never before accomplished in the 114-year rivalry. Additionally, they're determined to lead Serie A and make an early mark in the title race this year.

Despite losing the Scudetto to Milan in 2022, Inter has rebounded strongly, winning four consecutive matches. Impressively, they've taken the lead in each of the last 10 derbies across Serie A, Coppa Italia, and Champions League.

Simone Inzaghi's squad has made a sharp start in the 2023-24 season, winning their first three fixtures without conceding a goal. Their last such impressive start dates back to 1966. They haven't let in a single Serie A goal since May, showcasing formidable defense.

Milan, despite their recent misfortunes in derbies, have managed to win three of their last six league encounters with Inter, matching their total from the previous 19 meetings. Nevertheless, they fell short in their most recent Serie A clash, losing 1-0. This time, they enter the match tied on points with Inter, a scenario not seen since May 2001.

Coach Stefano Pioli, after revamping his midfield, has witnessed a strong start from Milan this season, securing three wins in as many games. Their most recent victory, a gritty 2-1 win against Roma, even came with ten men on the field.

Both teams are likely to field unchanged starting line-ups, with minor injury concerns for Acerbi and Cuadrado. Notably, summer signings Frattesi and Arnautovic are anticipated to make cameo appearances.

In this highly anticipated clash, the Argentine striker Lautaro Martinez, who has already netted five times this season, will look to add to his impressive tally against Milan. Meanwhile, Milan's Giroud, returning from an ankle injury, aims to emulate Oliver Bierhoff's 1998 feat of scoring in the first four fixtures of the season.
