Season ticket holders at Stadio Paolo Mazza haven’t seen too many victories this season, with SPAL languishing in the 20th position so far. The guesting Milan will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
It's no vacation for neither SPAL nor Milan as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
SPAL form and stats
SPAL's results here at Stadio Paolo Mazza in the Serie A have been very modest with 2 victories, 2 draws and 9 defeats. SPAL are slowly digging their own grave here at Stadio Paolo Mazza with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in nine attempts. The last victory here came in the Parma match.
In their previous game, the manager L. Di Biagio led his SPAL to a defeat in the Serie A match away at Napoli. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Paolo Mazza. Preceding that match was the home game against Cagliari that was lost 0-1.
There will be little rest for SPAL after this match as they are travelling to Sampdoria for a Serie A game in only four days.
SPAL have scored 11 league goals here from 13 matches, not a lot. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 21 goals have been conceded.
Milan form and stats
As the visiting team in Serie A matches, Milan have produced an overall stat of 7-1-6 so far.
Milan won their last game, 2-0 versus Roma played at home. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Lecce at their stadium, the result 4-1.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Milan manager S. Pioli as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Lazio.
Milan find the net regularly in their away games. 19 goals from 14 away fixtures in the league. Milan have conceded 20 goals in these away matches.
