Inter vs Milan Bet Builder Tips: Tuesday, May, 16th

The San Siro plays host to the fifth Derby della Madonnina of the season with a place in the Champions League final up for grabs and we have you covered for Inter vs Milan bet builder tips.

With a tidy two-goal cushion, Inter are primed to progress with Tuesday’s hosts as short as 1.08 to meet either Manchester City or Real Madrid in Turkey.

Simone Inzaghi’s side could have put the tie to bed in the first leg, but their lead is not insurmountable, a consolation Rossenari will cling to.

Champions League Semi-Final, Tuesday, May 16th, 20:00 (UK)

Stefano Pioli is blighted by injury. His squad has been decimated.

Not risking Rahael Leao in the first leg could prove a fatal mistake. Milan’s manager left it until as late as possible to see if the Portuguese winger could feature before deciding against it.

Last season’s Scudetto winners were already 2-0 up when things went from bad to worse and Ismaël Bennacer hobbled off, leaving Tuesday’s away side with a mountain to climb on Tuesday.

Rossoneri’s meeting with Spezia on Friday was hardly a priority- depicted by the four changes- but a 2-0 defeat is not ideal preparation. Milan have lost their last two games, shipping four goals and failing to score.

In stark contrast, Inter extended their winning streak to seven games with a 4-2 victory over Sassuolo in Serie A.

Francesco Acrebi, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Federico Dimarco were the only survivors from the victory on the continent.

Joaquin Correa and Romelu Lukaku came in upfront for Edin Dzeko and Lautaro Martinez with the big Belgian staking his claim to start here, bagging a brace.

Even so, Inzaghi looks set to name an unchanged side from the one that won last Wednesday.

Given the magnitude of this game, and what is at stake, Leao has to play. Even if he is not 100% fit.

His speed and directness make him a nightmare to defend. He has averaged 2.1 dribbles and drawn 0.8 fouls across all competitions this season. In the Champions League alone though, that dribbling average rises to 3.7

On the European stage, he has drawn cards from his direct opponents in 40% of his appearances.

When Milan played Napoli in the quarters, Giovanni Di Lorenzo was booked in both games.

In the round prior, Tottenham’s Cristian Romero was carded in each of the two legs, picking up a red card in the second.

Considering this, Denzel Dumfries looks good value at 4.00 for a card.

The bet does not hinge entirely on the fitness of his opponent though as the Dutch international has notched up five cards this campaign.

Last Wednesday was his second appearance against Milan, over which time, he has committed four fouls and picked up a card.

I get the feeling Inter could rue chances missed in the first leg.

They rattled the woodwork in the 15th minute, already two goals to the good, and then Edin Dzeko missed a one-on-one in the second half.

After blowing their local rivals away for the majority of the game, Milan clawed their way back into the game and even had chances of their own to reduce the deficit.

Junior Messias squandered his side’s best opportunity and Sandro Tonali rattled the post with his deflected effort. Two examples of where Milan carved Inter open.

I think at the odds available, siding with a Milan double chance makes sense here.
