A winning run very crucial for AC Milan 

After a three-match winless spell, AC Milan recovered and registered an important victory in the last round. Moreover, the Rossoneri had their first clean sheet in four games as they beat Genoa 3-0. With that win, Milan kept their pressure on Napoli who drew at Sassuolo and closed the gap to one point at the top. And playing Napoli in two weeks at the SanSiro, Stefano Pioli wants to be as close as possible to the leaders.

Certainly, Milan will try not to slip up as they did last season when they led the Serie A for long periods of the season. To do so, however, the Rossoneri must put on a winning streak before December 19 when they host Napoli. As a result, the next two matches at home to Salernitana and away to Udinese will be crucial to build-up for the big game. In the meantime, Pioli will hope the injuries he has in the team will recover in time to have a full squad ready.

Salernitana’s trip to the San Siro is in the worst time

In contrast to Milan, Salernitana’s main aim this season will be to survive in Serie A. However, with eight points sitting at the bottom of the table, the Garnets have a mountain to climb. Moreover, a trip to San Siro is not what coach Colantuono prefers at this stage of the season. Surely, the reason for that is Salernitan’s incapability of competing with the big teams.

To illustrate, the Garnets lost to all of the top seven teams to nil. Nevertheless, in recent games, Colantuono’s team showed some fighting spirit still their defense is letting in too many goals. With 31 goals conceded in 15 games, Salernitana have the weakest defense in Serie A. Thus traveling to San Siro a very compact defensive strategy is needed by Colantuono.

AC Milan vs Salernitana Prediction

Stefano Pioli will be very happy with his team’s last performance but there is still a lot of work to be done. And Saturday against Salernitana Milan will have a chance to further enhance their chances of clinching the top spot.

That said, however, the Rossoneri suffered to win against teams from the lower ranks apart from the last match. Hence, Pioli needs his attack to be decisive in front of the goal. 

Obviously, Milan are the favorites with low odds of 1.23. Thus looking at other markets, over 2.5 goals stands out as a choice for our prediction. Indeed, Milan’s last three games saw three or more goals. While Salernitana’s 71% of away games had over 2.5 goals scored.

In conclusion, with Milan’s urgency to press for a win and have a better goal average, we think we will see over 2.5 goals in this match. As for our second prediction, we will back Milan to win the first half to nil.
