"Next week's clash against Pisa will be AC Milan's first shot at revenge, following four now infamous games earlier in the season. Just as Milan's strong record against the top rivals has been highlighted this season, the same can be said for their struggles against the bottom-half sides. It all stems from four games, really: the defeat against Cremonese, as well as the draws against Pisa, Parma and Sassuolo."
"While the Sassuolo return leg will take place at the end of the season, the Cremonese and Parma returns will follow pretty quickly after the Pisa game. This means that Milan will have a chance of redeeming themselves in consecutive games, which can only boost confidence. Pisa-Milan: February 13, 20:45 Milan-Como: February 18, 20:45 Milan-Parma: February 22, 18:00 Cremonese-Milan: TBA"
"Shifting focus back to the Pisa game, they changed managers earlier this week, hiring Oscar Hiljemark to replace Alberto Gilardino. He has already spoken about the game and for him, snatching points from the Rossoneri could send a huge signal. As such, Milan will be hoping to get the job done and Massmiliano Allegri might also be able to rely on Christian Pulisic. The American has been on the sidelines lately due to an injury, but his goal is to be recovered for Friday's action."
AC Milan has strong results versus top rivals but repeated struggles against bottom-half teams trace back to four matches: a defeat to Cremonese and draws with Pisa, Parma and Sassuolo. The opening San Siro loss stung because it cost a possible unbeaten start. Milan will face Pisa away on February 13, then Como and Parma soon after, with Cremonese return to be scheduled, offering consecutive redemption chances. Pisa appointed Oscar Hiljemark to replace Alberto Gilardino and aims to take points, while Christian Pulisic hopes to be fit for the upcoming match.
