AC Milan vs Carpi Betting Tips and Predictions

AC Milan coach Cristian Brocchi got off to a winning start with a 1-0 victory at Sampdoria on Sunday night, but his team’s season is virtually over as AC Milan are seven points behind Fiorentina – who occupy the final European qualification place – with just five games to play. Brocchi’s task will be motivating his players with so little at stake, while the opposite is true for Thursday’s visitors to San Siro, relegation-threatened Carpi.

A stunning 4-1 home win against Genoa at the weekend ensured Carpi remain out of the bottom three, but Frosinone’s win against Verona keeps up the pressure at the bottom of the table. Three wins from five games mean Carpi are among the form teams in Serie A despite their lowly standing in the table, but they have only triumphed once in their last nine away trips. Carpi have never played at AC Milan in the league but pushed the Italian giants hard in a Coppa Italia tie in January.

The new manager bounce might well see AC Milan record successive wins after their victory at the weekend, but Carpi looked full of confidence in their thrashing of Genoa and will be out to boost their survival hopes with another positive result. AC Milan’s form does not deserve their status as short-priced favourites, which makes it easy for us to side with the outsiders for this clash. Carpi Double Chance at 13/8 with Betfair is our tip and we also recommend the 15/2 on offer for the 1-1 Draw, also with Betfair.
