Milan is buzzing ahead of the derby tonight despite the grey drizzle across the city. Inter fans have been out in force all day, as have the riot police. Much of the newsprint has been taken up with news that Inzaghi could be out for the season but the 'Derby of Change' could be critical for both teams tonight. Milan are second two points of Lazio (who beat Napoli earlier today) and could go top with a win tonight. Inter are a further 3 points back in fifth.
Sneijder was the stand out Inter player in the two games against Spurs with 93 and 121 points. Eto'o, Lucio and Zanetti were the next strongest players and Coutinho weighed in with a 96 in the game at the San Siro. I'm not considering anyone outside of those 5.
For Milan a lot rests on whether Pirlo starts. He racked up 29 points in 34 minutes in his last Picklive appearance for Italy. Expect a similar scoring rate if he plays tonight. Passing stats from the Champions league flag up Bonera, Seedorf and Nesta as possibilities. Zambrotta and Gattuso are also close.
The bookies are finding this game hard to call and a draw is a distinct possibility. For that reason I'm suggesting 3 from Inter and 2 from Milan. Sneijder and Pirlo are dead certs and then any 3 from the 9 mentioned above. Easy!
Buona fortuna!
