On Saturday night against Empoli, AC Milan will play their 29th game of the season meaning they have moved into the final 10 rounds, with so much still to play for.
As our colleagues at SempreMilan.it write, Milan will follow up this weekend’s game with quartet of games that are simple on paper but can never be underestimated: Cagliari (A), Bologna (H), Torino (A) and Genoa (H), before the last five fundamental clashes with Lazio (A), Fiorentina (H), Hellas Verona (A), Atalanta (H) and Sassuolo (A).
Here are the rivals’ fixture lists as a comparison, with the head to head clashes in italics…
➤ Inter: Torino (A), Fiorentina (H), Juventus (A), Hellas Verona (H), Spezia (A), Roma (H), Udinese (A), Empoli (H), Cagliari (A), Sampdoria (H), Bologna (A – game to be recovered).
➤ Napoli: Hellas Verona (A), Udinese (H), Atalanta (A), Fiorentina (H), Roma (H), Empoli (A), Sassuolo (H), Torino (A), Genoa (H), Spezia (A).
➤ Juventus: Sampdoria (A), Salernitana (H), Inter (H), Cagliari (A), Bologna (H), Sassuolo (A), Venezia (H), Genoa (A), Lazio (H), Fiorentina (A).
➤ Atalanta: Genoa (H), Bologna (A), Napoli (H), Sassuolo (A), Hellas Verona (H), Venezia (A), Salernitana (H), Spezia (A), Milan (A), Empoli (H), Torino (H – match to be recovered).
Winning against a big team but dropping points against a team that is at a lower position, only shows how Milan players still have a bit of “overconfidence”.
Not to mention the issue of Mr Pioli’s inability to formulate a team strategy against a team that defends too deep.
Lack of running and lack of enthusiasm. That’s how Milan looks at the moment
Hopefully, we win all! Yes, we can!❤️🖤
