AC Milan vs Spezia Prediction

AC Milan have managed to recover from their mid-season slump over the past month and will need to work hard to give Inter Milan a run for their money this season. The Rossoneri have grown in stature under Stefano Pioli and will look to win the league title this season.

Spezia have a poor record against AC Milan and have not been a particularly potent force in the Serie A. AC Milan are the better team on paper and should be able to win this game.

Prediction: AC Milan 3-1 Spezia
