Exclusive Prediction from 1xBet: A crucial match for both teams

The global betting company 1xBet tells about the ½ final first matches, which will occur on May 10. The number of contenders for victory in the main European club tournament has been reduced to four, and each struggle will have its special subtext.

Milan vs Inter

For 20 long years, Inter and Milan's fans have been waiting for the paths of these great clubs to cross again in the Champions League semi-final, and the time has finally come.

The teams’ game form looks no less mysterious than the Glazer family attempts to sell Manchester United. After winning the Scudetto last season, Milan does not find motivation in matches against Salernitana or Udinese. Still, they always tune in to fights with teams from the top 7 in a unique way – out of 8 games, only 3 defeats from Lazio, Inter and Napoli. The result is fifth place in the standings with a zero gap from Inter.

Nerazzurri’s situation is very similar. In 2023, Inter lost to Empoli, Bologna and Spezia in Serie A while beating future champions Napoli and Milan (twice). But then a rehabilitated Juventus suddenly appeared at the top of the standings (the team was returned 15 points removed due to allegations of financial fraud in January) and pushed Simone Inzaghi's team out of the top four. And now, both teams need not only to get to the final but also not to lose a place in the Champions League zone.

And what about Stefano Pioli, Milan's coach? There’s no manager against whom Inzaghi would play more often – they met 18 times. For Inter’s allenatore, the counterpart is quite convenient: 9 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats, but it was all in Serie A. The Champions League is a different tournament that lives by its own laws. Everything can change.
