Statistics indicate that set pieces may play a decisive role in the Italian derby between Milan and Inter Milan, scheduled for today, Sunday, at San Siro Stadium at 9:45 PM Cairo time, according to what was published by 'Football Italia'.

The match brings together the battle for the Italian league title and fierce local competition, as Inter tops the Italian league standings with a 10-point lead over Milan, which ranks second after collecting 57 points from 27 matches, the same number of points the Rossoneri achieved at the same stage of the 2021/2022 season when they won the title, according to the same source.

Statistics reveal that Inter has scored 21 goals this season in the Italian league from set pieces, including 15 goals from corner kicks alone, making this style of play one of its effective weapons. The team ranks second in Europe in terms of set-piece effectiveness after Arsenal.

On the other hand, this aspect represents strength for Inter and weakness for Milan, as Allegri's team conceded 50% of its goals from set pieces, with 10 out of 20 goals scored against them in 27 matches coming from set pieces, including five goals from corner kicks. This increases the danger of this strategy for the Rossoneri, according to the same statistics.

These numbers highlight the importance of focusing on set pieces for both teams, as they may be the decisive factor in a match that could determine the shape of the competition for the Italian league title this season.
