AC Milan vs Alessandria Betting Tips and Predictions

AC Milan have put a rocky start to the Serie A season behind them and are now unbeaten in their last 11 matches, a run that has seen them climb to sixth in the table, a point and a place behind city rivals Inter, as they chase down a continental qualification place. Sinisa Mihajlovic’s position as Milan’s head coach was seriously under threat earlier in the season, but things are now looking rosy for the Rossoneri.

This Coppa Italia semi-final seems to have acted as a distraction for Lega Pro outfit Alessandria, who were in contention for promotion from the third tier of Italian football but have stumbled in recent weeks, winning only one of their last seven matches in all competitions. Coach Angelo Gregucci is without one of his best defenders with Alex Sirri serving a ban, so overturning a 1-0 deficit from the first leg is even more of a challenge for the minnows.

A Milan win on the night looks like a certainty and there is little value in backing Mihajlovic’s men to book a place in the final, where the victors in this tie will take on either Juventus or Inter, who play their second leg on Wednesday. With Milan 14 points behind league leaders Juventus, the Coppa – which they have not won since 2003 – is their best chance of glory this season. Mihajlovic has promised his team will not underestimate Alessandria and there should be no serious risks taken with his team selection. We are therefore tipping Milan to Win to Nil at 4/5 with bet365, while backing 2-0 at 9/2 with bet365 looks like a solid correct score prediction.
