Analysis:

Milan comes into this match on the back of a defeat in the Champions League to Manchester United. They will face Bari who have lost two games in a row and will be keen to inflict their third straight defeat here.

At the moment Bari are nine points away from the relegation spot and only five points off the last Europa League spot. Coach Giampiero Ventura insist that safety and staying in the division is their main aim this season.

Bari however have suffered since the injury to young defender Andrea Ranocchia they have lost three of their last four games. The injuries to the likes of midfielder Sergio Almiron and striker Vitali Kutuov have further weaken the side and they faces a tough task to get anything against Milan.

Milan on the other hand, comes into this match knowing thet must put their defeat to the English side away and get a win here. The good news is that Alexandre Pato have fully recovered from his injuries and will partner Ronaldinho in the side. Marco Borriello will start this match as well as he is ready and raring to go.

At the back, Coach Leonardo has some problem as Luca Antonini injured his hamstring against United and will be out for few games at least. Gianluca Zambrotta could start for Milan against the side he layed with in the 1990's. But he is expected to start on the bench with either Marek Jankulovski or Giuseppe Favalli filling in at left-back, with Jankulovski being preferred here.

Christian Abbiati could start in goal after Dida were poor against United.

Take A.C Milan to win this match.

Cheers and good luck,
Cruiser
