As already mentioned, AC Milan can’t afford to drop points between now and the end of the season, and while this might be factually incorrect, it’s a fair hypothesis given that Inter probably won’t drop a huge amount and have a seven-point cushion with 10 games remaining.
This means AC Milan will need to be progressive and attacking in their approach. Discounting their anomaly game against Inter Milan last week, which was a very cagey affair, the visitors have managed 4+ shots on target in four of their last five games.
The hosts have only conceded under four shots on target in one of their last six Serie A games, a 0-0 draw against Cagliari at the start of February. Motivation levels could be dwindling for the hosts, there’s no threat of relegation, and European football looks a longshot.
