Analysts favor Inter
On May 16, in the return leg of the semi-final of the Champions League, Milan will play with Inter in a nominal away match. According to experts of bookmakers, Inter is the favorite for the match and confrontation.
Inter chances to win in a match are evaluated as 1×2.28. The probability of Milan winning is 1х3.55. A draw is evaluated with a chance of 1×3.5. Wherein, the probability of Inter reaching the final is estimated as 1×1.1. Milan’s chances for a similar achievement are 1×8.4
There is nothing surprising in such assessments. A 2-0 win in the first leg gives Inter a very comfortable lead in the second leg. Plus, the Nerazzurri are in great shape now: Inzaghi’s team is approaching the match on a series of seven victories in a row, with a total score of 21:3. As a result, Inter climbed into the top three of Serie A, five points ahead of fifth-placed Milan. We do not forget about the exit of the Inzaghi team to the final of the Cup of the country.

Inter
Milan is getting worse. Yes, the team had a nine-match unbeaten streak, but there were few victories – only four. Plus, the defeat from Inter in the semi-final seems to have broken the team: after losing to their neighbors, Milan lost in the La Spezia championship.
Another headache for Milan is the injury of team leader Rafael Leau (13 goals and 11 assists this season). The Portuguese seems to have recovered from his injury and is ready to play today, but will he have enough form and strength to save the confrontation. Especially considering the fact that Milan lost to Inter last three head-to-head matches without scoring a single goal down and conceding six.
But still, Milan should not be written off in advance. Suffice it to recall that the Rossoneri were considered underdogs in the quarterfinals of the confrontation with Napoli, however, they knocked out the newly minted champions from the tournament. So today Pioli will probably come up with something.
We’ll have to break the head mentor of Milan and over the replacement of midfielder Ismael Bennacer. The injury received by the Algerian in the first match against Inter turned out to be serious and, most likely, the player will miss the rest of the season.
Milan needs to go ahead and score. And the defense of the team is by no means flawless. Not surprisingly, the likelihood that “both teams to score” bookmakers evaluate as 1×1.81. And the chance that Inter will not lose, and the total of the match will be more than 2.5 “- like 1×2.87.
