The 2021-22 Serie A title race looks set to be an all-Milanese affair in the final weeks of the campaign, as Milan and Inter go head-to-head for the Scudetto. The Rossoneri have kept themselves on course to push the defending champions all the way in 2022, thanks to a solid run of form since the start of the calendar year.

Pioli’s charges have mirrored Inter in picking up tight wins to fend off their rivals. Despite sharing goalless draws in their last two games, Milan come into this tie on an unbeaten run of five, claiming 11 points from a possible 15.

The home team have seen their goal output dip either side of the international break, despite keeping themselves out in front in the title race. Based on their last five matches, Milan have scored three goals at an average of just over 0.5 per game in Serie A action.

That has also impacted total goals in games, both scored and conceded, with under 2.5 total goals converted inside 90 minutes in all of their last seven outings. Pioli’s side have also reacted to a mixed defensive record at the start of 2022. They now boast the strongest defensive form in Serie A, with a brilliant return of five straight clean sheets heading into this fixture.

Milan have not conceded a goal since February 26, with successful shutouts against Napoli, Empoli, Cagliari, Bologna and Torino. The hosts will be confident of another positive rearguard action in this game, as they look to extend this streak of defensive solidity.

A narrow win in this game would ensure the Rossoneri stay neck and neck with local rivals Inter in the title scrap, with neither side able to miss a step in the run-in.
