Milan vs Spezia Prediction: Hosts to prove their status at home

Milan return to their arena after an away defeat. On Matchday 13 of the Italian championship, the reigning champion takes on Spezia at home. Luca Gotti's squad has poor away statistics, a goal drought for six straight matches. Should we expect the Rossoneri to win to nil? Let's find out! 

Last week Stefano Pioli's team disappointed with a weak away performance against Torino. The Rossoneri conceded two goals towards the end of the first half. After the break, the club scored one goal but could not pull out a draw, losing 1-2. Milan are sitting third in the Serie A standings with 26 points. At the moment the Rossoneri are six points behind leading Napoli.

On Matchday 12 of Serie A, Luca Gotti's opponent was Fiorentina. Spezia didn't display their best qualities at home and lost 1-2 to Fiorentina. The club's last win in Serie A was as long ago as mid-September when the team beat Sampdoria 2-1. Spezia sit 16th in the standings with nine points.

At the moment, the Rossoneri are one point behind Atalanta and six points behind Napoli. The Bergamo and the Neapolitans will face off this weekend. This means that Milan have an excellent chance of either beating Atalanta or cut the gap to the Serie A leader. Spezia is waiting for a very difficult match in Milan, and the team is extremely unlikely to break the goal drought on the road. There will be no surprises in this game: the hosts will justify their status as favorites.
