Milan-Pisa is approaching and the tension is palpable. In tonight’s match, which will take place at San Siro in front of about 70,000 spectators, Milan aims to maintain its position at the top of the Serie A standings. Coach Massimiliano Allegri’s probable line-up could feature a 3-5-2, a tactical choice that includes several changes from recent outings.
In goal, Mike Maignan will be the man between the posts, continuing to be a guarantee for the Rossoneri. However, the defense will see significant changes: Koni De Winter will replace Fikayo Tomori, alongside Matteo Gabbia and Strahinja Pavlović. This decision could reflect Allegri’s desire to provide greater solidity and freshness to a department that has shown vulnerability in recent matches.
In midfield, a quintet is set to take the field, featuring Alexis Saelemaekers, Youssouf Fofana, Samuele Ricci, Luka Modrić, and Davide Bartesaghi, the latter stepping in for Pervis Estupiñán, absent due to non-selection. In attack, a quick-changing duo composed of Rafael Leão and Santiago Gimenez will lead the line. New signings like Christian Pulisic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, both injured, are absent once again.
A victory today would allow Milan to look more serenely at upcoming fixtures while consolidating their position at the top of the standings. However, the absence of several key attackers makes this task more complicated, and the management is already considering potential reinforcements in the winter market.
