Milan had a great start in the championship, justifying their status as one of the main contenders for the Scudetto. Stefano Pioliv’s team is currently on the second line in the table with 25 points, lagging behind the leader Napoli only due to additional indicators. In nine rounds they have already managed to break away from the third Inter. Seven points of advantage allow them to play without any special nerves. In the last round, Milan had serious problems in the match with Bologna, although the first half did not bode well, the Rossoneri had a numerical advantage and two handicap goals. However, in the second half, Bologna unexpectedly added and evened the score, but then lost another player due to sending off. In the end Milan realized a huge advantage and won 4:2, earning their fifth victory in a row in the championship.

In the English Premier League tournament, the Whites started off quite confidently, but the starting fuse was not enough for a long time, which led to a loss of concentration and the corresponding results. On account of the “peacocks” there is only one victory over “Watford” (1:0) and four peaceful outcomes, which brought seven points and 17th place in the standings. In the last match, Marcelo Bielsa’s wards conceded from Wolverhampton already in the 10th minute, but in the end they managed to resist. Moreover, in the fourth minute added by the referee, Rodrigo equalized the score from the penalty spot and brought an important draw. Firpo, Eiling, Koch and Bamford, who has an ankle injury, will not be able to play today.
