AC Milan is back in league play with the goal of regaining their footing in Serie A and applying pressure to their rivals Spezia.
The Rossoneri defeated FC Salzburg 4-0 in midweek to advance to the round of 16 of the Champions League, quickly putting the loss to Torino behind them. And this evening, Coach Pioli’s team will play Spezia at home. The Aquilotti are still a difficult team to play against despite their recent poor form.

The final week before the World Cup break brings the game against Spezia. The Rossoneri will be hoping to repeat their outstanding performance against FC Salzburg in Europe in order to get back to winning ways in the league following the defeat in Turin.
Coach Pioli will likely be forced to rotate his team as a result of the team’s Champions League efforts, keeping in mind the upcoming match against Cremonese on Tuesday as well. Gabbia, who will free up Kjaer to rest, along with Kalulu, Tomori, and Theo Hernández are likely to make up the Diavolo’s backline.
Pobega and Vranckx are vying for midfield supremacy in an effort to split up Tonali and Bennacer’s partnership. Origi might start again, supported by Messias and Leo on the flanks, with De Ketelaere and Brahim Dz vying for the spot behind the striker in the Rossoneri’s 4-2-3-1 formation.
LATEST FROM SPEZIA
The Ligurian team’s 2-1 comeback victory over Sampdoria on September 17 was their last Serie A triumph. They lost to Fiorentina 2-1 at home in their most recent game. They have a particularly dismal away record thus far, losing all six of their contests while also going scoreless.
Greek centerback Dmitri Nikolaou will be suspended for the game at San Siro after receiving a red card against the Viola. He’ll probably be replaced by Hristov. Bastoni’s injury status is up in the air, but Ekdal, with all his experience, is expected to play a significant role in the opposition’s midfield. Holm and Reca will be placed on the wings in Luca Gotti’s 3-5-2 formation, with Nzola once more being chosen to start up front.
