Lots of Chieva players have left the club on loan or on transfer, due to bad clubs situation this season. Sergio Pellissier will miss next match due to injury and Nicola Rigoni due to yellow card suspension.
Of course, the Yellow-Blues have much more weaknesses this season, than strengths, however, they are great at stealing the ball from the opposition and match against Genoa showed they can defend strongly, especially playing at home. They are looking bad at defending against through ball attacks, defending set-pieces, counter attacks and against long shots. In addition, they are facing problems at finishing scoring chances and keeping possession of the ball.
AC Milan

As a result, they took 3rd position in Serie A and have 1 point difference with Internazionale. AC Milan is continuing their fight in Coppa Italia and will meet with Lazio in the second round. If their perfect form will continue until the end of the season, they will have chances to fight even for 2nd position. During the transfer windows, Milan did a good job, as a result, new players gave good results.
Young Polish Krzysztof Piatek joined Milan from Genoa and already scored 5 goals and in total this season have 18 goals in Serie A. He was a changing person after G. Higuain joined Chelsea on loan. Unfortunately, G. Bonaventura and C. Zapata will miss the next match due to injuries. All other main squad players are fit and ready to fight for one more victory.
Milan club is very strong this season at attacking down the wings, creating long shot opportunities and defending set-pieces. However, they are showing weaknesses at aerial duels and protecting the lead. Very likely that even at away pitch, they will play possessional football, non-aggressively and take long shots.
