There has been a lot said about the direction of AC Milan recently, and the stats also back these claims up, as a report shows.
No one wants to get carried away just yet; however, it is growing difficult not to at this point. Ultimately, Milan are sitting in a position of great strength, and whilst they still have tests to come, confidence is growing.

Best of the bigs
The Derby della Madonnina is the last game that the Rossoneri have to face inside the top six, and so far their record is almost flawless. They have gotten 10 points from a possible 12, only dropping points away to Juventus.
Milanisti Channel, though, only looks at the games against Napoli, Roma and the Old Lady, and this still is fantastic. Seven points from a possible nine is better than any other ‘big team’ in Serie A, and it only further cements to Scudetto statistics.
Last season, there was a real issue against the teams around the European places, but this has not been the case with Allegri. Instead, there have been suggestions that the struggles are against sides towards the bottom.
Either way, all that matters is that the Diavolo are in a position to be in the Scudetto discussion. Something that will hopefully be further proven this weekend.
There are no struggles to sides at the bottom.
Cremonese was a throw-away match for Max, who needed to convince Furlani that he needed an extra midfielder (Rabiot) and another striker option (Nkunku).
Pisa was at the start of our injury crisis, and Max was using untested bench players like Bartesaghi and Athekame (he also had to play Saelesmaker as an SS for god’s sake).
With a full healthy squad, mid-to-lower table teams will be as easy to beat as Udinese or Bologna.
great and all . but the points remain in the small team where we have to beat them , if we beat the top 6 every season thats 36 points,if we beat the remaning teams thats roughly 75 points.
Yea but the flip side of that Coin is uncertain results against bottom dwellers.
