"After games against 17th and 18th in the league, AC Milan will face a team in the top half tonight in Como. The record so far suggests that might be a good thing. As Corriere dello Sport (via MilanPress) write this morning, Milan's performances against teams in the bottom half and the top half are equally inexplicable. Why? The Rossoneri have won most of the games they should have found difficult, and not beaten the teams fighting relegation."
"So far, Milan have won against Inter, Napoli, Bologna, Roma, Lazio and drawn away from home with Juventus and Atalanta. In September, truth be told, nobody would have expected this, especially after the home defeat against Cremonese in their Serie A debut. Milan's performance against smaller teams continues to be astonishing. The Diavolo have so far earned 20 points in eight matches against top 10 teams, with the only remaining opponent being Como tonight."
AC Milan faces Como tonight, a top-half opponent, after matches against the 17th and 18th teams. Milan has an inconsistent pattern: stronger results against top-half opponents and weaker displays versus bottom-half sides. Milan has beaten Inter, Napoli, Bologna, Roma and Lazio, and drawn away with Juventus and Atalanta. A home defeat to Cremonese marked a surprising September result. Milan has earned 20 points from eight matches versus top 10 opponents, averaging 2.5 points per game, and 20 points from ten games against bottom 10 opponents, averaging 2.0. A win today would cut Inter's lead to three points.
