LiontipsAC Milan vs Spezia. Prediction and Betting Tips for Serie A (January 17, 2022).
Command Analysis
AC Milan are in 2nd place in the league table at the moment with a total of 48 points. The Rossoneri are one of the main contenders for the Scudetto this year, and at the start of the tournament they mounted a 12-game unbeaten streak, which allowed them to instantly secure a place in the top-3.
Stefano Pioli's charges are losing one point to the current leaders, Inter Milan, and the defending champions have a game in hand. Napoli are in 3rd place, 5 points behind the Rossoneri. In the last round of Serie A, the Rossoneri crushed Venezia (3:0), which was their third victory in a row. Pioli's men also reached the quarter-finals of the Italian Cup after defeating Genoa (3:1).
Spezia successfully debuted in Serie A last year, having demonstrated high quality attacking football. This year, the Little Eagles play under the management of Thiago Motta, and so far they haven't been able to deliver the same level of performance as in 2020-2021 season.
The visitors are occupying the 16th line in the table with a total of 16 points. In the last round of games, the Little Eagles recorded a narrow victory over Genoa (1:0).
Trends
This score was recorded in 2 of the last 6 home games of AC Milan.
This bet played in the last 4 games of AC Milan.
In the last 2 away games, Spezia scored in the first half.
Tip and bets
The hosts are going into this game without several key players. Sandro Tonali is suspended, Fode Ballo-Toure, Ismael Bennacer, and Franck Kessie are on international duty, and Alessio Romagnoli, Fikayo Tomori, and Pietro Pellegri are injured. At the same time, the Rossoneri looked great in recent matches, and we doubt that Spezia will upset the Serie A giants.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (-1.5) to AC Milan
Earlier this week, AC Milan played 120 minutes against Genoa in the Coppa Italia match. We doubt that this will have a strong impact on the team today, as Pioli used rotation for the cup game. However, the Rossoneri probably won't be able to crush Spezia. We suggest betting on Milan's confident victory by a margin of two goals.
Our second prediction - AC Milan to win by 2 goals
