Milan vs Salernitana Prediction: Will the home team be able to cope with fatigue and win?

Milan reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League after a 0:0 draw with Tottenham in London. Now the Rossoneri face a home league game against Salernitana. Will Stefano Pioli's team be able to cope with fatigue and win?

Milan lost their previous match in the Italian championship, failing to cope on the road against Fiorentina (1:2), but you can hardly blame the team for this defeat. After Milan went to London immediately after its departure to Florence, they won a challenging game against Tottenham (0:0). Since the first meeting in Italy ended in a 1:0 win for the Rossoneri, the away draw was enough to reach the Champions League quarterfinals— a magnificent achievement by the team of Stefano Pioli, the reigning Serie A winner.

Salernitana has improved dramatically since the transfer of Davide Nicola to Portuguese Paulo Sousa a couple of weeks ago. In their first game under the new coach, the Salernitana lost 0:2 to Lazio but then played their best game of the season, completely demolishing Monza 3:0 on home soil. In the previous round, Salernitana kept their goal locked for the second time in a row, although they did not score this time too: 0:0 to Sampdoria. The team's progress in defense can not be encouraging because Salernitana is the second from the end in terms of conceded goals.

Milan had a tough match against Tottenham, so it's not worth expecting the Rossoneri to beat Salernitana in the upcoming game, which is motivated by the fight for survival. That is why we will take neutral betting options - total. Milan at home and Salernitana on the road in this championship are purely high-scoring teams so they may play a productive match between them. In addition to the total, we can also look for a Salernitana goal. Again, Milan's fatigue after the Champions League match will not allow the team to remain focused on their goal for 90 minutes.
