Serie A, Milan-SPAL: probable line-ups at San Siro

Pioli will necessarily have to make changes in his training. Too many players are disappointing and therefore a different Milan will be against Spal. There should be at least one news per department. As for the defense, it seems that Leo Duarte can be employed as a right-back given that both Andrea Conti and Davide Calabria have disappointed. The rearguard will be completed by the usual Mateo Musacchio, Alessio Romagnoli and Theo Hernandez.

In midfield there will be the entry of Ismael Bennacer as the central pivot in place of Lucas Biglia, author of too many errors in Rome. The use of the Algerian should allow the team to play a more vertical game. Together with him there will be Lucas Paqueta and Franck Kessie as mezzalos, both called to redemption after the bad performance of the Olimpico.

Chapter attack. The only certainty of a place looks like Hakan Calhanoglu. Jesus Suso seems certain to sit on the bench, in his place as an external right offensive there will be one among Samuel Castillejo is Giacomo Bonaventura. While for the role of central point Krzysztof Piatek is favorite on Rafael Leao.

The SPAL of Semplici should oppose Milan with a 3-5-2. Cionek-Vicari-Tomovic defensive trio in front of Berisha. Jacopo Sala or Gabriel Strefezza on the right and Arkadiusz Reca on the left in midfield. The interiors will probably be Jasmin Kurtic, Simone Missiroli and one between Alessandro Murgia and Mattia Valoti. In attack the pair composed by Andrea Petagna and Sergio Floccari.
