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.
"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."
