(Football news) Milan is currently outside of Italy’s top two after their most recent 2-2 tie with Bologna, while their hosts are more focused on stopping a steady decline down the standings.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek scored his second goal and third goal in two games last week, but he was unable to celebrate his victory because Milan missed two penalties, which allowed Bologna to grab a point from San Siro.
After recent recruit Filippo Terracciano handed away a stoppage-time penalty that was successfully scored by Riccardo Orsolini, City rivals Inter Milan surged farther ahead at the top of Serie A. Once again, the Rossoneri let struggling opponents off the hook.
Of 25 goals conceded in the league this season, 17 have been shipped during the second half, compared to just eight before the break; Milan’s inability to retain an advantage has seen them left in the wake of Inter and Juventus, who are surely set to scrap it out for the Scudetto.
Stefano Pioli’s side – who sit 10 points clear of fourth place – are unbeaten in the league for nearly two months and do still possess one of Serie A’s best home records, but they are less reliable on the road.
While Milan have won their last two away fixtures, beating Empoli and Udinese, on Saturday they will aim to post three consecutive away wins for the first time since late 2022.
The second-city giants will do so against opponents they have never lost to in the Italian top flight – and they also average over two goals per game versus Frosinone, who were dispatched 3-1 in December’s reverse fixture.
