Hellas have long established themselves as survival specialists in the Italian championship. Last season, they even managed to finish fourteenth with 37 points. But now their results are frankly poor – their victories can be counted on one hand. They also lost their last match against Torino, 1-2.
The ‘San Siro’ giants won the Supercup last season, but overall the year was a failure, with an early Champions League exit, eighth place in Serie A, and, to cap it off, a loss in the cup final. This season under Allegri, things are also far from perfect. However, in the league, they are the ones putting pressure on the leader – neighboring Inter. Yet they lost to a direct rival, Napoli, missing out on second place. And, sensationally, they were beaten 0-3 by Udinese!
The league’s outsider scores only 0.72 goals per match, while conceding 1.72 on average. The title contender, meanwhile, averages 1.47 goals scored and concedes significantly fewer – just 0.84.
Previous Matches: Verona vs Milan
The 3-0 win before New Year was the tenth consecutive victory for Pulisic and company.
The ambitious visitors simply cannot afford another slip-up! They should beat such an opponent away (odds – 1.60).
