SPAL come into the game having lost both their previous fixtures, against Napoli and Udinese, although it must be noted that they put up a solid fight in both the matches. AC Milan, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning streak, which holds them in good stead heading into the final game of the season.
The home team have nothing left to play for, whereas Milan are battling for a place in the top four, which provides them with the added motivation ahead of the match. It will be a closely contested encounter, but we at The Hard Tackle are backing Gennaro Gattuso’s men to come out on top at the Paolo Mazza.
The visitors have been in mixed form on the road in 2019, but they have scored in seven of nine away trips in Serie A since the turn of the year. They come here looking to edge out a SPAL side who have the fourth-worst home record in the league. Despite that, the hosts have managed to score in their last seven here, during which they’ve faced Napoli, Juventus, Lazio and Roma. SPAL have scored in their last 10 league games, so we expect them to find the net against this desperate Milan outfit. We’re backing both teams to score when these two meet on Sunday.
AC Milan’s Krzysztof Piatek (currently on nine goals with the Rossoneri) could become the first player in Serie A history to score at least 10 goals with two different teams in the same league season (scored 13 with Genoa). He hit one of those Genoa goals against SPAL in the first half of the campaign, while he returned to form last weekend with a goal. We see Milan relying on the forward in this trip, so we’re backing Piatek to score here.
