The Serie A title race is wide open with Milan master of their fate and with three games that will probably be decisive for the Scudetto.
Inter‘s 1-1 draw against Torino yesterday means that the Rossoneri are now four points clear of their city rivals, who would not reach the Rossoneri even beating Bologna in a game that was rescheduled in January. Inter currently sit third with a game in hand, with Napoli second, just three points behind the Rossoneri.
Stefano Pioli’s men are now the masters of their fate, with nine games remaining before the end of the season. Milan haven’t won the Serie A title since 2011, with Massimiliano Allegri in charge.
The race is still long and anything can happen in the last nine matches. Milan will visit Cagliari next weekend and, after the break, they will host Bologna and travel to Torino.
On paper, there are three crucial games left for the Rossoneri. The away match against Lazio and home games with Fiorentina and Atalanta.
The other meetings are against teams in the second part of the table, which is no guarantee of success as Il Diavolo has only won three matches from the last seven against teams ranging from 10th to 20th.
