Are Milan back on track?
After a difficult few weeks in Serie A, Milan battled back to beat Lecce 3-2 last weekend, a possible sign that their dip in form has come to an end.
The Rossoneri found themselves 2-0 down away from home with an hour gone, before a Lecce own goal halved that deficit, followed up with a brace from Christian Pulisic.
I have to congratulate the squad,” boss Sergio Conceição told reporters after the match. “For their attitude and the work they did during the week, because these are the foundations we can build on.
“We so rarely have had any chance to work during the week, but it helps to create those foundations and then it is easier to have the right attitude from the start in the match.”
Milan will of course had another blank calendar this week to build on those foundations the boss mentioned in his interview, and this time will be on home soil and are unbeaten in their last 12 Serie A games against Como.
Many of Serie A’s newly promoted teams fail to avoid an immediate drop back into the second tier, but Cesc Fábregas has so far done a remarkable job with Como, currently sitting in a reasonably comfortable 13th place in Serie A, seven points above the drop zone.
What’s more, the Lombardy club have taken two big scalps in recent weeks, defeating title-chasing Napoli by a 2-1 scoreline, while also pulling off a 2-0 win over Fiorentina away from home.
The Lariani are unbeaten in three of their last four Serie A games, their two wins and a draw seeing them pick up as many points as in their previous eight league encounters, however the aforementioned win against Fiorentina was their only win in their last 10 away from the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia.
Rafael Leão is set to make his 250th appearance for Milan this season, and should have a point to prove after being relegated to the bench for the win over Lecce.
The striker has weighed in with 68 goals and 50 assists in those 249 appearances so far, including having created a goal in his 45 minutes of action as a substitute last weekend.
He may sometimes be a divisive figure among the Rossoneri faithful, but since his debut in 2019-20, he is the only Serie A player who has contributed with at least 50 goals and 50 assists in all competitions for their club.
