It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Milan and Salernitana.

It's quite the trip for Salernitana when visiting Milan as the cities are 800 kilometers apart.

Milan form and stats

16 points is a decent return from 7 Serie A games here at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza for Milan. The data says 5 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss.

Milan are returning here after visiting Genoa in a Serie A game and winning with a 3-0 scoreline. Junior Messias (2) and Zlatan Ibrahimović scored the goal(s). Defender Fikayo Tomori got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 8.13/10. Tomori won 9 of 10 duels.

Preceding that match was the home game against Sassuolo that was lost 1-3.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Liverpool are coming to town in three days.

The Milan manager S. Pioli has got the team scoring with 14 from 7 home games in the league. 7 goals have been conceded.

Salernitana form and stats

There's been little loot from Salernitana's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 7 away games in the Serie A. Salernitana only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 1 draw.

Salernitana failed to get anything from their last game, a Serie A home match vs Juventus (placed 7th) that ended with defeat 0-2. Attacker Federico Bonazzoli got a player rating of 7.01 in the game. "Man of the match" Bonazzoli dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 22 successful passes (of 26 total).

A 1-1 draw at Cagliari's stadium before that.

The attacking power of Salernitana when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 7 league matches away. The Salernitana manager S. Colantuono has some worries about the defense as 15 goals have been conceded in these travels.
