AC MILAN v INTERNAZIONALE
With only two points separating table-toppers AC Milan from fierce rivals Inter Milan in the Serie A, the exciting derby takes greater significance as the season draws closer to a finish.
Head to head:
Inter's main attacking thrust will be Cameroonian star Samuel Eto'o , who is the third top scorer in the league and is in fantastic goal-scoring form.
Eto'o has racked up 19 goals and seven assists over 2273 minutes played, meaning he creates a goal or scores one every 87 minutes.
Hosts AC Milan will sorely miss former Inter powerhouse Zlatan Ibrahimovic due to suspension after the Swede was dismissed against Bari. This is a cause for worry for the Rossoneri, who fell to a 1-0 defeat against Palermo last weekend without their marquee striker.
In Ibrahimovic's place, Brazil striker Alexandre Pato - who has clocked up 11 goals and an assist over 1211 minutes - will likely become his team's primary attacking outlet if he will be fit for the match.
Latest derby outcomes:
In the last decade, AC Milan and Inter have been pitted against each other on 23 occasions, with Milan claiming 12 victories to Inter's eight. Three fixtures ended in a draw.
Inter have also won six of the last nine derby games, but AC Milan came out on top last November as they chalked up a marginal 1-0 win.
As both teams play at the San Siro, the home ground effect does not apply here; but throughout history, AC Milan recorded 107 victories over their fierce rivals, while Inter registered 95 successful derby results.
It's also worth noting that Inter have won more Serie A games than Saturday's opponents, with 64 league wins to AC Milan 's 59.
