"AC Milan play four games between now and the derby against Inter on March 8, and the objective is simple: win them all. As MilanNews writes, Inter have moved eight points clear at the top again after hammering Sassuolo 5-0 on Sunday. Milan have a game in hand, but they cannot concern themselves with the title race, because a top four spot remains the main objective for the season."
"On paper it is four winnable games, but do you remember how those first-leg matches ended? A 2-2 home draw to Pisa, a 2-2 away draw at Parma, a 3-1 away win against Como and a 2-1 home defeat - the only one so far - against Cremonese. The result: five points out of 12 available, a number far too low for a team aiming for a top-four finish. The points lost in Parma still cry out for revenge, after a two-goal lead blown."
AC Milan must win four upcoming Serie A matches against Pisa, Como, Parma and Cremonese to build momentum before the March 8 derby with Inter. Inter lead the table by eight points, and Milan have a game in hand, but the primary objective remains securing a top-four finish. First-leg results against these opponents yielded only five points from twelve, including a blown two-goal lead in Parma and a home defeat to Cremonese. Milan have performed well in big matches but have dropped points against lower-ranked sides; the team needs to be ruthless to reverse that trend and approach the derby confident.
