LATEST FROM MILAN FUTUROThe Rossoneri head into the big match in strong form and with the right mentality. The 1-0 win over Breno and the convincing 3-0 victory away in Veneto against Caldiero Terme have strengthened their third-place position and added consistency to a team that is clearly growing, especially in game management and high pressing to win the ball back. There are no major absences, and the group is responding with unity and cohesion. Against the league leaders, intensity, balance and personality will be key.

They boast the league’s best attack with 41 goals scored and the best defence with just 18 conceded.
