Overview

AC Milan are set to welcome one of Serie A’s struggling sides to the iconic San Siro, in what is anticipated to be the final match for their current manager, Stefano Pioli. The match promises to be an emotionally charged occasion, as Pioli’s tenure concludes. AC Milan’s form has been a cause for concern, with only a handful of victories marring an otherwise bleak series of performances in recent fixtures, the latest being a defeat at the hands of Torino.

Salernitana will come into the game with little to celebrate, having endured a difficult season with only a couple of wins. A series of managerial changes have marked their campaign, with Stefano Colantuono now at the helm. Despite their recent efforts, they are already relegated.
