The long-awaited derby between Milan and Inter has been brought forward to Friday, April 29 at 6pm. The Nerazzurri won the first league game 2-0 this season, are two points ahead of Milan in the standings and so can even draw the game. If Milan win, the team coached by Nava would take the league leadership before a tough game with Cagliari in the final round.

Both Milan and Inter won their last games in the league: the young Nerazzurri edged 1-0 Udinese at home, while the Rossoneri returned from Bologna with a 2-0 success. Inter have the best league defence, having conceded 17 goals in 24 games, while Milan have the best league attack with 56 strikes. On Friday the first spot in the league is at stake, which secures the qualification to the Final Eight. However, both teams have to beware of Atalanta, who can enter the race thanks to a what is on paper an easier calendar.
