Milan Form & Balance Check
That AC Milan even have to enter the upcoming top-of-the-table match with a defeat behind them is grotesque. Against Spezia, Milan scored the all-important 2-1 winner shortly before the end. However, the referee overlooked the advantage from which the goal was scored and decided on a free kick instead of a goal. Hard to believe and as fate would have it, it became even more absurd. In the 90+5 minute Spezia counter-attacked again after a Milan corner, which meant the 1-2 defeat for Milan.
Milan must put this game behind them and can still be positive against Juventus. The Rossoneri, just two points behind arch-rivals Inter at the top of the table, still have every chance in the fight for the Scudetto.
Milan have won three of their last five games.
Offensive works
Even though Milan’s most creative player with Kessie is currently at the Africa Cup, Milan are not short of ideas to play forward. Against Empoli, the Rossoneri scored four times. They were just as attacking in their two subsequent victories against Rome and Venice. Milan scored three times each. The 1-0 defeat against Napoli was the only match of the last five in which Milan did not score.
