Reigning champions AC Milan entertain 19th-placed Cremonese at the San Siro in Serie A on Wednesday (May 3).
The hosts are unbeaten in five league games and are unbeaten in seven matches across competitions. In their previous outing, Milan drew 1-1 against Roma. Alexis Saelemaekers scoring the decisive goal in the seventh minute of injury time, just three minutes after Tammy Abraham had broken the deadlock.
Milan are tied with arch-rivals Inter Milan, who are fourth, with 57 points, ahead only on goal difference.
Cremonese, meanwhile, drew 1-1 draw against 17th-placed Hellas Verona in a bottom-of-the-table clash on Sunday. David Okereke gave Cremonese the lead in the ninth minute, but a red card for Giacomo Quagliata eight minutes after he came off the bench gave Verona the numerical advantage. They made the most of that, with Simone Verdi bagging a 75th-minute equaliser.
