Milan’s Scudetto challenge risks falling apart because of two big problems, the inability to score goals and dropping points against minnows.
The Rossoneri have seen their lead at the top of the table cut to just one point from Napoli, while Inter are four points behind with a game in hand.
They were held to a 0-0 draw by Bologna at San Siro this evening, despite having 33 attempts on goal.
That is a record for the Diavolo in Serie A matches since Opta began gathering these statistics in 2004-05.
It’s part of a wider trend too, as in the last two games against Cagliari and Bologna, they scored only one goal from 54 total attempts.
There is also another big concern for Stefano Pioli, specifically their inability to beat the smaller sides who put 10 men behind the ball.
When it comes to facing teams in the bottom half of the table, Milan have dropped 14 points this season.
The giants were held twice by Udinese, lost to Spezia, drew away to Salernitana and now with Bologna.
In comparison, the San Siro giants did better than anyone else in the head-to-head clashes, taking four points off Inter, three from Napoli – with their only defeat – held Juventus twice, beat Roma home and away, with victories over Atalanta and Lazio.
