Match Preview: AC Milan vs Benevento

Welcome to the AC Milan against Benevento match preview! Here you will read the analysis, team news, predicted score, key players and more!

AC Milan:

The home side AC Milan have one memory of Benevento, it is when Alberto Brignoli,  scored a last-minute header to get their first Serie A point in the history of the club.

 The Rossoneri don't want the same fate as the last time they faced, which was Gattuso's first game in charge of the club. Milan is on 6th place at the moment, 10 points away from the Champions League spot that they were working so hard for. They aren't only worrying about that, but also Atalanta who is only 2 points away from them. Il Diavolo has drawn their last 4 matches, some to inferior opponents such as Torino and Sassuolo.

Calahanoglu was not called up for this match as he's injured. Conti will be injured until around September. Davide Calabria is back in the squad and will most probably start. Romagnoli is still injured and will most likely miss out on this match.

Milan Predicted Lineup:

(4-3-3): Donnarumma, Rodriguez, Zapata, Bonucci, Calabria, Bonaventura, Biglia, Kessie, Borini, Cutrone, Suso. Coach: Gennaro Gattuso

Milan Key Player: Patrick Cutrone

Benevento:

The away side had a miraculous journey while climbing to Serie A. This season has been a very difficult one for them and they are set to relegate back to Serie B.

They have nothing to lose and are going all out on the match in the San Siro.

Benevento Predicted Lineup:

(4-3-3): Puggioni, Letizia, Tosca, Djimsiti, Sagna, Duricic, Sandro, Cataldi, Lemmello, Diabate, Guilherme. Coach: Roberto de Zerbi

Benevento Key Player: Cheick Diabaté
