"There are four weeks and many games until the next instalment of the Derby della Madonnina, but it is already looking like an approaching watershed. Massimiliano Allegri has repeatedly spoken in the media about the notion of getting to March and seeing where Milan are, above all with regards to the race for the Champions League places, but also with an eye on that forbidden dream: the Scudetto."
"In a piece published on Saturday, we provided a comparison of how Milan and Inter's schedules are shaping up before the big game. Since writing that, Inter have crossed one of their commitments off, beating Sassuolo at the MAPEI Stadium on Sunday evening. So, the nine games (four for the red side, five for the blue side) that await between now and the return derby are as follows:"
Four weeks separate the next Derby della Madonnina and the teams face a congested run-in that could define both seasons. Massimiliano Allegri has framed March as a checkpoint for Milan's Champions League ambitions and Scudetto hopes. Milan sit eight points behind Inter with 12 points available before the rematch, while Inter have nine points potentially obtainable. The run includes nine fixtures combined: four for Milan and five for Inter. Milan enjoyed an unexpected three-day break because of a postponed home game against Como caused by the Winter Olympics; that match is now scheduled at San Siro on 18 February.
