Derby Decider: Inter's Shot at Serie A Glory

November, 23, 2025 - Inter Milan are gearing up for one of the most crucial matches of their season as they look to overtake Napoli at the top of the Serie A table. Simone Inzaghi’s men currently sit just one point behind the leaders, and a victory in the upcoming Milan derby could see them take control of the title race.

However, the challenge will be anything but easy, as AC Milan is also pushing for a return to the top three and sitting only two points behind Inter in fifth place. The Serie A title race this season has been one of the tightest in recent years. Only five points separate first and fifth positions, meaning that a single weekend of results could dramatically change the standings.

Napoli, Inter, Juventus, Roma, and AC Milan are all within touching distance of each other, setting up a thrilling battle as the campaign heads into its decisive months. For Inter, consistency has been their main strength so far. Under Inzaghi, the team has displayed strong attacking form, with Lautaro Martínez leading the charge, supported by Ange-Yoan-Bonny and Nicolo Barella.

Their defensive organisation, led by goalkeeper Yann Sommer and veteran centre-back Francesco Acerbi, has also been key to securing valuable points. Yet, they know that AC Milan poses a serious threat, especially with Rafael Leão and Olivier Christopher Nkunku capable of turning games around with moments of brilliance.
