2022-23 Italian Serie A week 13 preview: AC Milan vs Spezia

AC Milan will be having a hectic week ahead. It is because they are set to play three Italian Serie A matches in eight days.

Up first is Spezia Calcio on 6 November. This will be followed by an away fixture against US Cremonese three days later. Finally, they will cap it off with an encounter opposite ACF Fiorentina at home on 14 November.

Milan find themselves tumbling to third on the domestic table after suffering a surprise 1-2 defeat to Torino FC. They made it up for it with a 4-0 thrashing of FC Red Bull Salzburg.

On the other hand, the Aquile are currently at 16th place with nine points.

What to expect in AC Milan vs Spezia Serie A match

It would be an awkward reunion if Daniel Maldini gets fielded in as he would be wearing Spezia’s kit. Other than that, there is nothing worth pointing out aside from the fact that at first glance this looks like a mismatch.

This could appear to be easy pickings for the red and black. However, one lesson that was learned in the battle against Torino is to never take anyone lightly, even if Milan are playing on a different level right now.
