Inter to win and both teams to score

Edin Dzeko to score anytime

Both teams to score

Inter have won seven matches in a row in all competitions.

Inter have won 10 of their last 15 derbies against AC Milan.

AC Milan have won just two of their last eight matches in all competitions.

Edin Dzeko has scored in three of his last four games vs AC Milan.

AC Milan's last eight games in all competitions have produced exactly two total goals.

Inter will head into the rematch without Dalbert and Milan Skriniar. Joaquin Correa remains a doubt.

Milan's injury list is a tad longer. Ismael Bennacer and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are both out for the match.

Alessandro Florenzi and Junior Messias are both struggling with muscle injuries and are doubts. There are also questions around Rade Krunic, who picked up a knee injury.

Inter are primed to qualify for their first Champions League final since 2010.

Simone Inzaghi's side not only powered to a 2-0 victory in the opening leg, but they also continued their momentum at the weekend with a 4-2 win against Sassuolo.

Milan, on the other hand, saw their issues compounded by Spezia on Saturday as the relegation-threatened side pulled off a shock 2-0 success.

With Stefano Pioli's men two goals down in the semi-final and hopelessly out of form, their European ambitions appear in tatters.

Inter are enjoying a seven-match winning run, with the side bagging 21 goals along the way.

Inzaghi's men also boast a solid recent record over their rivals, winning 10 of the last 15 derbies.

Striker Edin Dzeko has also enjoyed playing against AC Milan, having stamped his name on the scoresheet in three of the last four meetings.

In truth, there's not a lot of good news or positive stats in favour of Milan ahead of the second leg.

This is a side which has posted just two wins from their last eight matches in all competitions.

What's more, they haven't won a Champions League knockout game as the designated away club since the 2006/07 campaign.

However, there is some good news. Should Pioli's men miraculously force the match to extra time, AC Milan boast an 83% success rate after the regulatory 90 minutes in UEFA competitions.

Considering Milan's woeful recent run, we're not expecting the match to require an additional 30 minutes. With that in mind, we're backing Inter to continue their good form and get the job done without too many dramas.

Inter to win and both teams to score is our tip ahead of the much-anticipated Derby della Madonnina.
