"After the international break, Milan will resume matters with two games that they should win (at least on paper), before raising the difficulty a little. Although Massimiliano Allegri's men didn't head into the break with a win, drawing 0-0 against Juve, the mood is still good as Milan sit in third place. They are just two points behind Napoli and thus remain in the Scudetto race."
"Fiorentina are up next for the Rossoneri and while that would usually be considered a tough game, La Viola have had a very tough start to the season. After six games, under Stefano Pioli's guidance, they have claimed just three points after failing to win a single game, while drawing against the likes of Cagliari, Pisa and Torino. In short, they have many problems and Milan are thus big favourites."
"It should be noted that Curva Sud will be back in action fully against Fiorentina, so that is another boost for the Rossoneri. In any case, Pisa's start to the season has been even worse than Fiorentina with just two points claimed. Once again, Milan will be massive favourites in the game and certainly have the quality to secure six points across these two games."
Milan return from the international break with two winnable home fixtures against Fiorentina and Pisa, then face a much tougher sequence including Atalanta, Roma, Parma, Inter and Lazio. Milan occupy third place, two points behind Napoli, and remain in the Scudetto race. The team must respond to attacking waste and inconsistent individual displays after a goalless draw with Juve, although the clean sheet and defensive showing were positives. Fiorentina and Pisa have struggled early in the season, making Milan clear favourites to collect six points, while subsequent away and high-profile matches will raise the challenge.
