Brescia Calcio – AC Milan: Cassano and Robinho to star: Serie A preview
AC Milan will hope to continue their winning form and strengthen their position at the top of the Serie A table when they take on Brescia Calcio. The two teams will meet on Saturday, April 23 at Stadio Mario Rigamonti.
Brescia Calcio
The White-Blues are reeling in the relegation zone as they are 19th in the League table with 30 points and would ideally want to win in order to get themselves a chance of getting clear of the drop zone. Brescia’s home form has been decent as
compared to their away form; of their seven wins this season, six have come at home. Where their losses tally racks up to a mammoth 17, only 6 have come at home.
The White-Blues have not enjoyed a decent goal scoring form as they have scored just 28 goals as compared to 43 that they have conceded. In their last five games, Brescia have achieved just one win to go along with two losses. The two remaining matches against
Cagliari and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan ended on level terms.
AC Milan
AC Milan will start the game at the top of the table and Massimiliano Allegri would be hoping to grab all the three points in order to extend his lead over title contenders SSC http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 and arch-rivals Inter Milan. The Rossoneri have launched up 21 wins this
season so far, with ten of them coming away from home. Two of the four losses have also come while playing on away turfs.
Milan have also drawn four out of the eight games on the away strips. The Red and Blacks have been lethal in front of the goal as they have scored 59 goals so far in the campaign. Better still, they have been outstanding in defence, having conceded just
23 goals so far. In their last five games, Rossoneri have bagged three wins to go along with just one loss. The remaining game, the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final against Palermo, ended in a 2-2 draw.
Team News
Brescia Calcio
The Little Swallows will go in with a 3-2-3-2 formation. Andrea Caracciolo and Eder will be forming a partnership upfront. Michele Arcari will be controlling Brescia’s net. The only concern for Lachini is the suspension of defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Davide-c10638 Zoboli, who will
be missing from the Swallows line-up.
AC Milan
The Rossoneri are likely to go in with a 4-3-1-2 formation. Robinho and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Christian-Abbiati-c9046 will be starting in goal. There are no major injury concerns for Allegri and the manager will have the privilege of fielding
a full strength squad. The only absentee will be Swedish superstar, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029, who is suspended for this encounter.
Players to Watch
Brescia will certainly be looking upon the striking capabilities of their striker Caracciolo, who has 10 goals in the campaign so far from 28 appearances. The Italian would love to add to his tally against the League leaders, which could prove to be a blessing
at the end of the game for the White-Blues.
AC Milan, on the other hand, will pin all their hopes upon Cassano who has 4 goals in the competition so far from 14 appearances. Milan would be hoping that the striker can find his golden touch and stretch the Rossoneri lead at the top.
Prediction
Considering Milan’s consistent and terrific run throughout the entire season, the Red and Blacks are clear favourites to win against struggling Brescia side and are highly likely to emerge as 3-1 winners on the night.
