AC Milan are back in action with another Serie A fixture this week as they take on Spezia on Monday. The Rossoneri have been impressive this season and hold the upper hand going into this game.
Spezia are in 16th place in the Serie A standings and have struggled to impose themselves this season. The away side edged Genoa to a 1-0 victory last week and will want to bounce back in this fixture.
AC Milan, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have been a resurgent force under Stefano Pioli. The hosts eased past Genoa in the Coppa Italia this week and will be confident ahead of this match.
