High-flying AC Milan travel to Stadio Alberto Picco on Saturday to face Spezia in Serie A.

The Rossoneri are looking to continue their unbeaten start to the campaign, having won four and drawn once from their opening five games.

They're level with city rivals Inter Milan on 13 points, but sit a position adrift on second courtesy of an inferior goal-difference.

Spezia, in their second consecutive year in the top-flight, find themselves hovering above the relegation zone.

With a sole victory in five games, the Eagles are just one point above promoted side Venezia in the league table.


Spezia vs AC Milan Head-To-Head

There have been only three clashes between the sides before.

While the Rossoneri won the first two, including a 3-0 vanquish at the San Siro last season, Spezia got their revenge with a sweet 2-0 victory at home in February this year.

Spezia vs AC Milan Prediction

Spezia, despite their lowly standing in the league, have looked impressive lately. Even Juventus had to work hard to beat them in their last game.

But the Rossoneri are still a better side. They may be missing out on a lot of their key players, but have a strong squad who can make up.

It's going to be difficult, but a narrow victory for the away side appears likely.

Prediction: Spezia 1-2 AC Milan
