Match Previews

Milan had an easy time at home against Chievo Verona: they won 3-1. Expected by a tough away derby against Inter. Strinic and Montolivo should miss out. Conti with the group but will not be considered. Romagnoli and Cutrone overcame slight doubts. Caldara trying to recover on time.

Profiting from Chievo Verona passive attitude, Milan immediately took the initiative, creating several scoring chances. Having taken a 2-goal lead, they went on attacking also in the second half, when they scored also a third goal. Then, they started slowing their rhythm down and so they found themselves conceding once but did not have to worry any further.

Higuain scored two more goals: he is the new leader of the team. Suso feels at ease with the Argentinean and he served him two assists. Biglia is always in the right place at the right time. Kessie holds some responsibilities for giving the way to Chievo Verona goal. Calhanoglu made too many mistakes and he did not look bright enough.

Milan won the last 2 Serie A games played and they are currently sitting among the top 10, with one game still in their hands. They are next expected by a tough away derby against high-flying Inter.

The longtime injured Strinic and Montolivo should still be missing out while Caldara could return. Conti has resumed regular training and he could return anytime soon: however, he should join the junior team for the next couple of weeks. Romagnoli and Cutrone have overcome muscular issues and they should be fine.

Calabria should be preferred to Abate at right-back. Rodriguez should prevail over Laxalt at left-back.

Milan scored more than two goals against Inter on the road only once in the last 15 years. In that stretch of time, they failed to score any goals in 4 occasions while they did not concede only 3 times.
