Milan are desperately trying to keep up with Inter and Juventus but it is really difficult for them. Because they lost so many points in the first half of the season which caused the point gap to be opened very much. But at least Milan have started getting positive results in the recent times which is good. Maintaining this look would be nice for securing the third place at least.
Inter and Juventus really don't look like any of them will drop down sharply from the title competition this season. I can say this especially for Inter considering the big scores they have been getting. For taking three points it doesn't matter how you win of course. But it is more reassuring to see your team being able to get big wins.
This season's competition for the championship seems to be between Juventus and Inter. Because currently these two teams have succeeded in increasing their points with 3rd place with a difference of 7 points from 2nd place. And I think Milan will only be able to secure a ticket to the Champions League by being ranked 3rd. Because it looks like 3rd place will already be successfully secured. by Milan. Because the difference in points for ranks 3 and 4 is currently quite large, namely around 8 points. So it can be said that 3rd place will belong to Milan this season.
In tomorrow's match, Milan will even face Udinese and I think in this match Milan will again get full points and will strengthen their position in 3rd place. But still, this season is still long. And it could be that Inter or Juventus experience a decline and allow Milan to catch up with them. It's just that this possibility is very small.
Milan stood alone without being able to put pressure on Inter and Juventus and not getting pressure from Fiorentina and Atalanta who were below them. The points gap created by the current competition does not bother Milan, and that is why Milan can secure a ticket to the Champions League next season. At the start of the campaign, Milan appeared consistent, but in their journey so far they have become increasingly far from title contenders, also being eliminated in the Champions League, Coppa Italia and Super Italia Cup, and having to fight again in the Europa League via the play-off route. Now there are only two opportunities for Milan to win the competition, the European League and Serie A, but in my opinion Milan chances of winning the trophy in these two competitions are very low.
There is a possibility that Inter will be shaken in the future by the tight competition schedule, but I think this possibility is very small, and even if it happens Juventus will be the one who will take advantage of the momentum, because their position is only 2 points behind. Milan needs to maintain consistency in the second half of the season, if there is a possibility of being able to compete again to win the Scudetto then they can take advantage of it, at least Pioli fleet can secure tickets to the UCL without having to come under pressure from other teams. In the European League itself, we know that Liverpool and Leverkusen are the favorites there, it looks like Milan needs a miracle to win the trophy, it won't just enliven the competition.
Milan next match is against Udinese, Pioli's team will have the ambition to atone for their sins in the first leg, where in the first half of the season Milan lost 1-0 to Udinese. In this match, Milan is still in the lead, but personally I will avoid betting on this match, because Milan performance is difficult to predict this season. However, I feel Milan will be able to secure full points, and continue their positive trend by beating Udinese. Finishing in third place in the standings is quite good for Milan, because last season the Milan was only able to finish in fourth place in the standings with 70 points.
