Around 75,000 Spectators Expected At San Siro For AC Milan Vs Inter Milan Serie A Derby Clash

Over 75,000 spectators are expected at the San Siro this evening for the Serie A derby clash between AC Milan and Inter Milan.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report that the fixture could very well set a gate receipt record for Italian football.

Inter and Milan face off in the derby this evening.

The Nerazzurri and the Rossoneri are meeting for the third time this season. They’ve already played derby matches in Serie A and the Supercoppa Italiana.

Milan won both of those matches. They have taken hold of the derby after having lost six straight matches in the fixture previously.

Therefore, the stakes will certainly be high. Inter Milan will want revenge in addition to three vital points in the title race.

And AC Milan will be determined to get a statement result in what’s been a turbulent season.

Naturally, this evening’s match has sold out.

Therefore, the Gazzetta report, there will be over 75,000 spectators at the San Siro.

This derby is nominally a “home” fixture for Milan. Therefore, the majority of the fans in the stadium will be Rossoneri supporters.

Moreover, Milan will cash in on the gate receipts for the match. And according to the Gazzetta, these could be record-breaking.

Meanwhile, the Gazzetta confirm that Milan ultras the Curva Sud will be back in full voice after some recent protests against the club ownership.

And Milan should present the signing of striker Santiago Gimenez from Feyenoord prior to kickoff.
