AC Milan vs Salernitana prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2024-05-24 18:45.
[p]While a second-placed finish in Serie A certainly represents progress for AC Milan, a dreadful run of form to finish off the campaign looks set to trigger a change. Manager Stefano Pioli, who has overseen a run of just one win from eight matches across all competitions (D3, L4), is reportedly set to be axed in the summer, with ex-Brighton boss and Milan fan Roberto De Zerbi lined up as a replacement.[/p]
[p]The Rossoneri faithful may well have grown tired of defeats such as the one they suffered at Torino last time out (3-1), and their form at the San Siro hasn’t been much better, with their last four home outings producing just a single victory (D1, L2). A visit from rock bottom Salernitana is perhaps the perfect tonic then, plus Milan have lost just one of the nine previous H2Hs between the sides (W5, D3).[/p]
[p]A season of untold misery is finally at its end for Salernitana, whose measly haul of 16 points is the joint-lowest among Europe’s traditional top-five leagues. All Stefano Colantuono’s men can achieve on the final day is a famous victory at the San Siro, something they’ve never previously managed against AC Milan, but there may be a shred of confidence in the travelling camp as they’ve lost just one of the last four H2Hs (D3). [/p]
[p]However, Salernitana are astonishingly yet to win in 2024 across all competitions (D4, L16) since beating Hellas Verona in December, with the Granata losing the reverse fixture last time out. But the Salernitana players showed they can mix it on their last trip when they were only denied a victory over Juventus by a stoppage-time equaliser![/p]
[p]Players to watch: Milan winger Christian Pulisic has rediscovered his form in recent weeks, netting a brace on his last appearance at the San Siro, a 5-1 thumping of Cagliari. Salernitana midfielder Giulio Maggiore has scored three times in his last six appearances – each strike arrived after half-time, with two in the 90th minute or later.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Salernitana have scored first in six of their 18 Serie A away games, yet they’ve managed to win just once (D5, L12).[/p]
