AC Milan vs Palermo detailed match preview, prediction and betting tips. AC Milan chasing 3 points in the race for European qualification.
Match Preview – 14:00 Kick-Off at San Siro Stadium, Milan
7th placed AC Milan are locked in a battle to qualify for the Europa League next season. Vincenzo Montella’s young stars would have been aiming higher before the season started, but given their sketchy form since the turn of the year, finishing in a European spot would represent a decent season in Serie A for Milan. Having won just once in their last 3 outings, AC Milan will see Sunday’s opponents as an ideal adversary in their attempts to get back on track.
Palermo are cut adrift in the bottom 3 of Serie A, 7 points from safety and destined to be relegated. They have won just once in their last 13 league games – that victory came over fellow relegation certainties Crotone. The islanders have won just 3 league games all season and are already planning for life in Serie B.
In the previous league meeting between the sides, an 82nd minute Gianluca Lapadula goal handed AC Milan a narrow 2-1 win in Palermo. The away side have kept 1 clean sheet in 25 Serie A games, defensively they are a mess – they have the 2nd worst defensive record in the league. AC Milan have no excuses here.

AC Milan vs Palermo Predictions
AC Milan will be desperate to avoid a repeat of their 1-1 draw at Pescara last time out. A howler from young goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma allowed Serie A’s bottom club to snatch a point that day. The odds are hugely stacked in the home side’s favour – Palermo have conceded at least 3 goals in 6 of their last 7 games. This should be an enjoyable days’ work for AC Milan.
As always with one-sided contests, finding value in the markets takes a little more creativity. Bet365 have odds of 19/20 for both teams to score, which might seem a strange bet for this mismatch, but it’s interesting to note that Palermo have managed to score a goal in 6 of their last 7, despite losing all but 1 of those. Over 2.5 goals at 1/2 with the same bookies are also odds worth considering.
