AC Milan showed the best and worst of their capabilities over the past week with the defeat against Torino and the win over Red Bull Salzburg, and now they must continue the positive signs from midweek.
As Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews) reports, there is history in the games between Milan and Spezia at San Siro, particularly the game back in January when the Ligurians were coached by Thiago Motta. After domination for 90 minutes and several saves by Provedel, Milan saw a goal chalked off from Messias at the end because Serra had whistled early for a foul and did not play advantage.

Not long after, Gyasi’s goal that gave Spezia three points and it must be said that the anger after the game was transformed into a turning point of sorts given the team went on to win the Scudetto. There is the desire to avenge that defeat but also to fully get back on track after losing in Turin last weekend.
Milan are six points away from the leaders Napoli and must get three points to take advantage of the fact that Spalletti’s side play Atalanta – who are second in the standings – while tomorrow is the Rome derby and then the game between Juventus and Inter.
The paper claims there will be several line-up changes compared to Wednesday with Gabbia alongside Tomori, Diaz and Messias likely to start, as well as Origi being the centre-forward.
