AC Milan vs Salernitana Prediction
AC Milan are currently fifth in the league and have won three of their last five league games. They are 21 points behind league leaders Napoli, who have played a game more. It would not be controversial to say that AC Milan will not be retaining the Serie A title.
There are some question marks regarding some of the club's summer acquisitions. Belgian midfielder Charles De Ketelaere was a big-money arrival from Club Brugge and came with a growing reputation, but the 21-year-old has found the going tough so far. The likes of Aster Vranckx and Yacine Adli have also made limited appearances this season.
Salernitana, on the other hand, are 16th in the league and have won only one of their last five league games. They are seven points ahead of 18th-placed Hellas Verona. Paulo Sousa, formerly the manager of Swansea City, Fiorentina and the Poland national team, was appointed as the club's manager recently.
The clubs have now entered the final run of this season, and Salernitana will hope that they are able to avoid the drop. On the basis of the difference in points between 16th and 18th-placed clubs, Salernitana should be fine, but their current form raises questions and concerns.
We expect AC Milan to win this game.
Prediction: AC Milan 2-0 Salernitana
