"AC Milan have found themselves in the midst of a title race as we head into 2026, with just over half of the season remaining. It is a case of so far so good for Milan in the league. They have racked up 35 points from 16 games thus far, with 10 wins, five draws and just the one defeat which came all the way back in round one."
"That means that they have gone 15 games in the league without a defeat, and impressive feat in itself. Moreover, their record in the head-to-head games against other sides in the European places is the best of any team. Milan have already had to negotiate some tough back-to-backs in the league. They played Napoli and Juventus consecutively, as well as Atalanta and Roma, then Inter and Lazio. The fixture list is quite kind on paper early in the new year. A trip to Cagliari is followed by a home game against Genoa and then an away match against Fiorentina."
"Then comes a very difficult run: Inter in the home derby, followed by Lazio away, Torino at home and Champions Napoli away takes the Rossoneri from March into April. Getting down to the business end, matches versus Udinese (H) and Hellas Verona (A) precede a big one against Juventus on 26 April. Then, the season finishes with not too bad a run: Sassuolo away, Atalanta at home, Genoa away and Cagliari at home."
AC Milan have 35 points from 16 Serie A games, comprising 10 wins, five draws and one early defeat, leaving them 15 matches unbeaten. The team holds the best head-to-head record against other sides in European places. Milan already navigated several tough back-to-back fixtures, including Napoli-Juventus and Inter-Lazio sequences. The early new-year schedule looks favourable with Cagliari, Genoa and Fiorentina, but Como, Roma and Bologna present tougher short-term tests. A challenging March-to-April run features Inter, Lazio and Napoli, with a key Juventus fixture on 26 April. The final weeks offer opportunities to build momentum toward the title race.
