The visiting Milan side should be favourites in this visit to Spezia, as the away team holds a 28 point advantage from their 21 league games this season.
- Milan has the most clean sheets (8) in Serie A
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Spezia form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Serie A this season. Spezia have only managed 1 win, 3 draws and 6 losses from their games here at Stadio Alberto Picco.
A good away victory last time out for Spezia, who won 2-1 against Sassuolo (placed 8th). Before that game, the home loss against Udinese with the scoreline 0-1.
The Spezia fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 10 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Spezia defense is not exactly impregnable. 19 goals conceded from 10 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Milan form and stats
The strength of Milan, who have the most clean sheets (8) in Serie A, on their travels this season is incredible with 28 points collected from 10 Serie A away games. Milan has 9-1-0 on the road, with 21 goals scored and 8 conceded. Long winning streaks away are a rare occurrence in football, which only makes Milan's record of four away victories in a row even more impressive. They last lost points away in the Genoa game.
The supporters enjoyed Milan's previous game versus Crotone (placed 20th), a Serie A 4-0 win played at home. Preceding that game was the away victory against Bologna with the score of 2-1.
As you can tell from the results above, Milan was very dominant against Crotone, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with Zlatan Ibrahimović (2) and Ante Rebić (2) providing the goals.
Milan have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 21 goals from 10 away matches. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (8 so far).
