AC Milan vs. Catania, 13 April, round 33 of the Italian Serie A.
AC Milan finally started to play some football after they were eliminated from Champions League by Atletico Madrid. Milan has 3 consecutive wins in the Serie A for the first time this season and will fancy making it 4 in a row when they host the red lantern Catania. Milan beat Fiorentina, Chievo and Genoa in the last 3 rounds. In the last match it was 2-1 vs. Genoa on the road. Team news for Milan say that Muntari, Essien, De Sciglio and Petagna are out. El Shaarawy is doubtful. Milan is healthier than a couple of weeks ago so maybe that also has an impact on their form.
AC Milan lineup: Abbiati – Bonera, Mexes, Rami, Constant – De Jong, Montolivo – Honda, Kaka, Taarabt – Balotelli

Catania has lost all hopes of salvation. They are on the last place and 7 points away from safety with 6 rounds to go. Mathematically they have a chance, but with their form it looks absolutely impossible for them to have any hope to avoid the drop. Catania lost 5 games in a row and 7 of the last 8. In the last round it was 1-2 at home vs. Torino. The visitors are traditionally a poor away team but this year they broke all records with only 2 points in 16 road matches and 7-35 goal difference. Team news for Catania say that Almiron and Peruzzi are out of this game.
Catania lineup: Andujar – Bellusci, Spolli, Rolin – Izco, Rinaudo, Lodi, Plasil, Monzon – Barrientos – Bergessio
Looking at the lineup of Milan it really looks really good, with no improvisations like it was often the case this season. Milan still has a chance to play european football this season but they need to win games and this match vs. Catania is of course the best chance they will ever have to get the three points. I still do not think Milan is a top team in Italy even if they won the last 3 games but looking at their good football lately and especially looking at this dirt poor Catania side, Milan should have it easy today. Especially at home, where they played well even when they were in poor form – and Catania is the worst away team in Serie A by far. My tip will be Milan to win with 1,5 handicap. Correct score prediction: AC Milan – Catania 3-0.
Pick: AC Milan (-1,5)
