LATEST FROM PUMA HOUSE OF FOOTBALL Things don't seem to have changed much since the draw at home to Napoli, but the Rossonere have edged closer to third place, now just three points off the Champions League spots.

The team looks sharp and determined, and from here on every match will really matter. Away to Inter, theyāll need focus, intensity and a desire for revenge after the heavy defeat in the return fixture.
"A derby isn't just played, itās experienced", Suzanne Bakker's words before the clash. "The rivalry, the tension and the pride make this a match of its own, but we must not forget that there is also a lot at stake from a sporting perspective. We are focused, well prepared, and determined to give everything for our club and our supporters."
The match is scheduled to start at 18:30 CEST.

LATEST FROM INTER The Nerazzure are the second-strongest side in the league (on 40 points) and have by far the most prolific attack in the competition (45 goals). Their Scudetto hopes, however, are slim, but still possible. Piovani's side come into the game off a 2-1 away win in Genoa - far from straightforward as they had to come from behind thanks to a second-half brace from MilinkoviÄ. Their main threat remains Belgian forward Wullaert. She is Interās top scorer and the leading scorer in Serie A Women (19 goals and nine assists).
"We're heading into the derby with the right mindset. We need to give our everything and then some. The occasion itself creates the intensity, but we still have to work hard, especially tactically," said Gianpiero Piovani, head coach of the Nerazzurre. "We're ready. We'll need to stay focused because AC Milan are a very strong team."
