Where it pulls both ways. It pulls both ways: Inter are the stronger side on form and the table, but the meetings favour AC Milan.
The case against. AC Milan's record still gives them 33% to win. The meetings do not back them.
The read. Inter or the draw. A draw is live. An open game. Inter are the stronger side on form and the table; the meetings favour AC Milan. Their goals for and against point to an open game. Their records put over 2.5 goals at 62%. Five of the last nine meetings went over 2.5.
The bets. Best bet: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.19, 77% on the records (AC Milan: over 1.5 goals in 7 of 7; Inter: over 1.5 goals in 7 of 7). Backup: 2nd Half - Over/Under: Over 0.5 at 1.19. It often rescues the bet, but it is no guarantee. Leave: Under 4.5 Goals (no unders on an open read); Under 5.5 Goals (no unders on an open read). Predicted score: AC Milan 1-2 Inter (9% chance).
Every score's chance from both teams' checked games, never cut or rescaled. The lit square is the likeliest score that fits the read (the call and an open game).
