The race for a Champions League finish in Serie A continues this weekend, as AC Milan look for maximum points against Spezia. There will also be pressure on the hosts, as they look for a vital win in their battle to avoid the drop.
Serie A Preview
It will be a busy week for AC Milan, as they have their focus shifted between Serie A and the Champions League. After their semi-final first leg with Inter Milan, AC Milan must shift their focus back to domestic matters on Saturday, as they look to enhance their chances of qualifying for the Champions League next term.
Milan come into the weekend sitting fifth in the standings, and only a victory would take them above Inter in the standings. They have been hard to beat in recent months, but they have picked up just two wins from their last five matches. It has been a damaging second half of the season for Milan, as they have picked up just 46% of their points since the restart. Meanwhile, they have only won fewer points in the second half of the season in the 2016-17 season,
This will be a crucial game for Spezia, as they are still battling for points at the bottom of the standings. They remain in the bottom three places in the standings, but they could move level on points with 17th-placed Hellas Verona with a victory this weekend. But, Spezia come into this match after losing four of their previous five.
Scoring goals has been a big issue for Spezia throughout the season, as they have failed to score in ten of their 19 matches played this calendar year. Recently, they have gone eight without a win. This is currently their longest winless streak since January 2021.
Spezia vs AC Milan Head to Head
There is yet to be a draw in the previous six clashes between Spezia and AC Milan. Milan holds the narrow advantage in previous meetings, as they have won on four occasions, which includes three wins in Serie A. Both of Spezia’s two previous wins against Milan were secured in the league.
Spezia vs AC Milan Prediction
This could be a good time to come up against Milan, given that they have Champions League semi-finals either side of this clash. Therefore, a chance could be taken on Spezia to land victory in their hunt to ensure their Serie A status.
