The “Rossoneri” played their last match away against “Frosinone,” which is particularly dangerous on their home turf this season. AC Milan had a tough time, but Stefano Pioli’s team managed to secure three points. Trailing 1-2 in the middle of the second half, the “Red and Blacks” leveled the score with Matteo Gabbia’s effort and then clinched the victory with a goal from Luka Jovic in the 83rd minute. With a 3-2 win, Milan has triumphed in five of the last six rounds, extending their unbeaten streak in the league to eight matches. Recent successes, along with Juventus’ stumbles, have opened up new tournament prospects for Milan. Only four points separate them from the second-place, and they have a significant 10-point lead over the team in fourth place.
Napoli played their last match at home and once again faced difficulties against a lower-ranked opponent. Walter Mazzarri’s team was trailing 0-1 against Verona in the second half but managed to avoid defeat. An own goal by Pavel Davidovich in the 79th minute and a late goal from Hvicja Kvaratskhelia secured a 2-1 victory for Napoli. As the match against Verona showed, Napoli still faces numerous issues, and there are no clear tournament prospects for the southern team, both in the domestic league, where they currently occupy seventh place, and in the Champions League, where they will soon face Barcelona in the Round of 16.
