The Sardinian club earned just 36 points last season, but that was enough to “survive” again in the country’s top division—finishing fifteenth, in fact. Not much has changed this season: nearly half of their matches end in defeat, but so far they have managed to stay above the relegation zone. Recently, they surprised everyone with a win over Roma. However, they only managed a 2-2 draw against Pisa. On the other hand, they unexpectedly took three points against Torino.
The San Siro giants only managed to win the Super Cup last season. However, they were quickly knocked out of the Champions League and finished just eighth in Serie A. To cap it off, they lost to Bologna in the cup final. This time, Allegri and his new squad were immediately eliminated from the Super Cup in Saudi Arabia after a 0-2 defeat to Napoli. Nevertheless, they are fighting for the top spot in Serie A. They also secured a confident 3-0 victory over Verona. However, they lost to Lazio in the cup in November.
The islanders score an average of 1.12 goals per match and concede 1.41. Nkunku and his new teammates have a much better ratio: 1.69 goals scored per match and only 0.81 conceded.
