AC Milan seeking a fifth match without defeat against Salernitana in Serie A
Salernitana vs AC Milan - 22/12/2023
2342
AC Milan will begin Serie A matchday No. 17 in third place but nine points off first-place Inter. If Stefano Pioli’s team wants to make a run at the title, they will need to become more consistent.
A win over Salernitana could be the start of a revival for the Rossoneri.
Salernitana are the ideal team for AC Milan to face this weekend. The Granata are last in Serie A, with just eight points from six games.
They lost each of their last three matches in the league. Salernitana won just one match this term.
These teams faced off four times previously in Serie A, with AC Milan going unbeaten in those encounters.
The Rossoneri posted a record of 2W-2D-0L across four fixtures. Pioli and company will expect another victory on mathday No. 17.
The last three matches between the clubs finished with both teams scoring goals. Two of the three fixtures saw over 2.5 goals scored.
Milan took 10 points from the last six matches in the league. They outscored their last six opponents 11-7. Each of Milan’s last three matches finished with over 2.5 goals in Serie A.
Granata’s recent games also saw plenty of goals. Eight of the Granata’s last 10 fixtures finished with more than 2.5 goals.
Salernitana took four points from the last six games. They conceded 14 times to their opponents during that time.
No team has conceded more goals than Salernitana’s 34. Only Empoli scored fewer goals in the opening 16 matches than Salernitana. The Granata scored just 12 times. The club’s stay in Serie A is under threat.
Olivier Giroud leads Milan in goals with eight. The former Arsenal and Chelsea player scored 28% of the Rossoneri’s goals in the opening 16 games.
Pioli has a long injury list ahead of the match. Midfielder Tommaso Pobega is out with a hamstring problem. Striker Noah Okafor will also miss the game thanks to a hamstring injury.
Defender Malik Thiaw will sit out with a hamstring strain, and defender Pierre Kalulu is still recovering from a tendon injury. Defender Marco Pellegrino could miss the match following a heel injury.
AC Milan have never lost to Salernitana in Serie A, and they won’t start this weekend. The Rossoneri should ease to a victory away from home 3-1. Giroud could get on the scoresheet and get his ninth Serie A goal of the campaign.
