Milan will battle it out against Carpi at the San Siro on Thursday night and the match should be an interesting encounter between the two sides.
Milan Match Betting News
Cristian Brocchi got his tenure as manager of Milan off to a winning start with a hard fought 1-0 victory over Sampdoria away from home last weekend and the result was certainly a big boost for the 40-year old boss.
With a relatively negotiable final few weeks of the campaign, Brocchi will surely be targeting a Europa League finish but one should not look too far ahead and the novice manager will just be urging his players to follow up the victory over Sampdoria with another good result when Carpi pay a visit to the San Siro on Thursday night.
Luiz Adriano and Mbaye Niang are struggling with injuries ahead of the clash while Juraj Kucka will not be available due to suspension.
Carpi Match Betting News
Carpi have exceeded all expectations with their brilliant performances this season and the recent 4-1 victory over Genoa meant that the Biancorossi were able to remain outside of the relegation places.
With relegation rivals Frosinone also picking up points though, Fabrizio Castori’s men still have a lot of work to do in order to be able to allay fears of the drop and with a very difficult set up fixtures coming up, doing so will certainly not be easy.
Carpi now prepare for a daunting trip to the San Siro to square off against Milan and the minnows will have to put in a valiant effort in order to claim anything from the clash. Igor Bubnjic and Eddy Gnahore are injury doubts for Carpi while Riccardo Gagliolo will not be featuring due to suspension.
Milan vs Carpi Match Prediction
Carpi held Milan to a 0-0 draw in the corresponding fixture earlier on in the season and Castori would surely be very happy with another similar result.
However, it has to be said that Milan are a completely different kettle of fish at the San Siro and Carpi will most certainly find it very tough to earn anything from the clash on Thursday.
Given the bravery Carpi have shown in recent times, one should suspect the clash to be a close encounter but Milan are likely to emerge victorious.
