Pescara v AC Milan Match Preview – 14:00 Kick-Off at the Stadio Adriatico – Giovanni Cornacchia, Pescara

With just 12 points and 2 wins from 29 Serie A games, Pescara are firmly rooted to the bottom of the table and the Biancazzurri look set for a swift return to Serie B. The home side have lost 10 of their previous 11 league games and are on a run of 1 win in 27. They have conceded the most goals in Serie A (66) and experienced manager Zdenek Zemen has found it impossible to plug the gaps in their leaky defence.

AC Milan have had a mixed domestic campaign, but the Rossoneri are making a late push for European places. They have won 7 out of their last 9 in Serie A, suffering just 1 defeat to league leaders Juventus. Despite their goalscoring problems, Vincenzo Montella’s young guns have been winning plenty of plaudits for their adventurous football and the former Italian international will hope they can maintain their recent resurgence.

Pescara last beat Milan way back in the 1980/81 season and in the reverse fixture this season, Milan could only manage a 1-0 win at the San Siro thanks to a first half Bonaventura goal. Pescara's top-scorer Gianluca Caprari is a major doubt for Sunday’s game with a calf injury, making the home side's chances even slimmer.

Pescara v Milan Predictions

Pescara’s wretched form means their players may very well have already checked out mentally, resigning themselves to their impending relegation. AC Milan, just 4 points off 4th spot, still have everything to play for. That difference in ambition coupled with the gap in class all points to an away win. Pescara have won once at home all season. It would be a huge shock if they double that count on Sunday. Read our Pescara v AC Milan betting tips below and beat those bookies!

NetBet’s give Milan odds of 1/2 to win Sunday’s game outright and that looks great value for what should be a complete mismatch. They give Pescara odds of 19/4 to win but the clever money will steer well clear of that offer. William Hills have odds of 6/5 for AC Milan to win and top scorer Carlos Bacca to register again anytime during the game, which is another tempting looking offer.
