"After the draws against Genoa and Fiorentina, many ruled Milan out of the Scudetto race. While that may prove to be correct still, Inter's draw against Napoli means the Rossoneri are just three points behind their rivals. And today, the Nerazzurri have Udinese away from home. In short, Allegri and his men are still in the running for the trophy."
"They have the second-best attack and defence in the league, which suggests the gaffer has found something that works, and points have been collected for 19 games straight. As the Como game showed, it's not always pretty from Milan but at the end of the day, to remain at the top of the standings, you just need to collect points."
Milan remain in Scudetto contention, sitting three points behind Inter after Inter drew with Napoli and face Lecce next. Allegri's side have registered points in 19 consecutive matches. Milan possess the league's second-best attack and second-best defense, suggesting a balance between scoring and solidity. Recent matches such as the Como game have shown pragmatic and occasionally unattractive football that nonetheless secures results. Inter can widen the gap to six points depending on their away fixture at Udinese. Contract talks are advancing for goalkeeper Mike Maignan, and the club aims to pursue Filip Kostic with a proposed wage of €7m per year until 2031.
