Milan eye their fourth straight league victory when they welcome Spezia to the San Siro on Monday night. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

Milan edged Spezia 2-1 when both sides locked horns back in September and although Spezia did secure a 2-0 win against Milan in the 2020/2021 season, Milan still has the better head-to-head record as they won the two games prior to the defeat.

Chance for Pioli's troops to go top

Following Inter's draw against Atalanta on Sunday evening, Milan are now just two points behind the league leaders and could leapfrog their city rivals- temporarily- if they get the better of Spezia. Their recent form says they're in a great position to do exactly that as they head into this game off the back of four straight victories in all competitions. In their most recent game, they were given a good workout by Genoa in the Coppa Italia who took the cup tie to extra-time. However, Pioli's troops replied with two goals in the extra 30 minutes to secure progression to the next stage. Would we see them secure yet another win this Monday?

Spezia, on the flip side, look like a side on the ascension as they head into this game with two wins in their last three Serie A games. The most recent ended in a win for Thiago Motta's troops as they soared to a 1-0 win away at Genoa courtesy of an early Simone Bastoni strike. This six-point return from their last three league matches has seen them move into 16th position and although they're still in 16th place, three points off the drop zone, a positive result would do them a world of good as they look to preserve their top-flight status.
