AC Milan have won only two of their last nine points and is in the sixth place of the Italia Serie A standings, outside the European competitions spots. Is AC Milan in crisis? No way, at least not yet, still is too early in the tournament (five fixtures played so far) to affirm that; however, they need to start winning soon. Next Saturday, October 4, they will have a good test against Chievo Verona. The game will be at 14: 45 ET in the San Siro Stadium.

In the history, Chievo has been easy to beat for the Rossoneri’s. They have played in 24 occasions, and Milan dominates with a big margin the series (18 wins, four draws and only two losses). For next Saturday’s game, the odds are also in favor of AC Milan that is -250 for a win, while Chievo has +600. In the case of a draw, the odds pay +375.

Milan has a certain urgency to win, not only for their sixth place so far, but to erase the awful campaign they did last year. At least, the Rossoneri’s did have a promising start, and they showed they could compete this year and have in off talent to be in a better position. However, after losing against Juventus in the third fixture, they stagnated in their performance, and their fans are still waiting for the takeoff.

AC Milan arrives at the game with eight points (2W, 2D, 1L) and +2 in their goal difference. In front, they will have Chievo, who is in the 15th place of the Calcio with only four points (1W, 1D, 2L), and a goal difference of -2.
