--------------------------------
AC Milan start their Coppa Italia run against Bari at San Siro after a turbulent 2024-25 season. Despite past struggles, including a cup final appearance and winning the Supercoppa Italiana, they aim to compete for more trophies this year.
Team Analysis:
AC Milan had a difficult season, finishing eighth in Serie A and changing coaches twice before reappointing Massimiliano Allegri. They won the Supercoppa Italiana but exited early from the Champions League and lost the Coppa Italia final. New signing Luka Modric aims to boost midfield control.
Milan’s preseason included tough friendlies against top English clubs, ending with a heavy defeat at Chelsea. They now begin their Coppa Italia campaign against Bari, who recently replaced their coach after a mid-table finish in Serie B. Bari seeks to reach the playoffs under Fabio Caserta, making their first meeting with Milan in 14 years at San Siro.
Player Situation:
Max Allegri is expected to rotate his squad for the Coppa Italia match, possibly giving chances to new signings like Ardon Jashari, Pervis Estupinan, and Samuele Ricci, while some key players have left the club. Milan’s attack may rely on Rafael Leao, Christian Pulisic, and Santiago Gimenez.
Bari will likely feature striker Christian Gytkjaer, with coach Fabio Caserta highlighting Giuseppe Sibilli and Anthony Partipilo as important attacking options. Bari may miss Vincenzo Colangiuli and Sheriff Kassama due to separate training issues.
Result Prediction:
Milan are expected to comfortably advance to the second round against Lecce or Juve Stabia, with Bari unlikely to challenge the Rossoneri under their new management.
Predicted Result: AC Milan 3-0 Bari.
