"AC Milan will largely decide its fate in the next three weeks. It's an old principle: it won't be clear who will win the Scudetto, but we'll understand who can't. Massimiliano Allegri sees high stakes on the horizon. Fiorentina, after months of drama, are in better form. Como are stronger than ever before in their history. Roma have won five of their last six at home. Bologna are struggling but are always a real nuisance to Milan."
"In this first half of the season, Milan have won five of eight away games (Lecce, Udinese, Inter, Torino and Cagliari) and have not lost, at least in the league. The average is 2.25 points per game, higher than the 2.10 for home games. How often does a team perform better away from home? Not often, but with Milan, there's a possible explanation. Allegri has no problem preparing games where Milan can sit back and wait for their moments."
AC Milan will play four away games in three weeks — Fiorentina, Como, Roma and Bologna — with only a home fixture against Lecce interrupting the run. The next three weeks could largely decide Milan's season by revealing teams that cannot challenge for the Scudetto. Milan have been stronger on the road this season, winning five of eight away league matches and averaging 2.25 points per away game versus 2.10 at San Siro. Allegri configures the team to absorb pressure and counter, which suits away setups. San Siro offers emotional support but can create pressure and impatience for some players. Transfer window closure and rivals' fixture congestion increase the period's importance.
