The San Siro giants last season were limited to only the Super Cup. However, they exited the Champions League playoffs early and lost in the cup final, eventually dropping to eighth place in the final standings. Now, under Allegri, the team has shown improvement, although setbacks have become more frequent in the spring. For example, after a draw with Juventus, they even lost to Sassuolo.
The club from Bergamo finished third a year ago. But after that, Gasperini left, and his successor, Juric, did not meet expectations. Palladino, who replaced him, quickly achieved progress. Thus, the team made it to the Champions League playoffs and even knocked out Borussia, while in the cup they lost to Lazio in the semifinals only on penalties. On the other hand, in Serie A, they lagged behind the group of leaders. Recently, their results have been dire, with defeats like the one against Cagliari or a draw with Genoa standing out.
Pulisic and company average 1.37 goals per match, conceding almost half as many—just 0.83. Their next opponent is similar: scoring 1.34 goals per match and conceding 0.91.
