The fifth team of the past season in Serie A in the current championship is one of the contenders for a set of medals. For 26 rounds of the Major League tournament, the capital’s team managed to get 15 victories and drew five times, which brought 50 points and the fourth position. The breakaway is already 12 points from the leader, but only six points to the second Milan. Moreover, Roma was defeated by Milan on the last day of winter (1:2). Paulo Fonseca’s charges met the spring on a positive note, having a success with Fiorentina (2:1) and Genoa (1:0). The team’s performance indicators are third in the league. 51 times the team hit the opponents’ goal. In the first playoff duel the Wolves beat Braga on aggregate 5:1. Today Veretu, Dzeko, Zaniolo and Calafiori, who has a muscle injury, will not be able to enter the field.
Milan found themselves in a rather difficult group of the Europa League, where they had to fight against Celtic, Lille and Sparta Prague. Initially, Stefano Pioli’s team was considered the favorite of the quartet, which ultimately proved in practice. With 13 points in assets the Rossoneri stepped into the playoffs, being two points ahead of the second Lille. The draw was supportive for Milan and Crvena Zvezda were their rivals, in the confrontation with which the Rossoneri were considered the clear favorite. However, the favorite could not win in any of the two matches and made it to the 1/8 finals only due to the fact that they scored more goals away. In Serie A Milan were in the lead for a long time, but then slowed down a bit, which Inter managed to take advantage of. At the moment, the Rossoneri are in second place in the table with 56 points and are already six points behind Inter. The risk of losing the second line is definitely present. Juventus has four points less and at the same time has a match in reserve.
