The battle for Champions League qualification will go all the way to the final weekend of the Serie A season in 2022-23, with two or three spots still up for grabs.

While wins in Serie A have been rare beasts for Milan over the past few weeks, Stefano Pioli’s side have at least maintained a strong strike rate, scoring at least once in 11 of their last 12 matches in the division.
