With Sunday night’s win over Roma, thanks to Strahinja Pavlovic’s goal, Milan now sit second with 21 points, just one behind Napoli, who lead the Serie A Enilive table.
After ten rounds, and considering last season’s trend, this is already a strong start for the Rossoneri. Adding to the sense of progress is the fact that Allegri's team has already faced several of the league’s top sides.
In ten league matches, Milan have faced six teams that finished in the top ten last season.
The record against those opponents is strong: four wins and two draws. Milan have beaten Bologna, Napoli, Fiorentina, and Roma, while drawing against Juventus and Atalanta.
The only teams from last year’s top ten still to face are Inter, Lazio, and Como. Meanwhile, Milan have earned 14 points in six games against direct rivals.
What should AC Milan work on?
The only real issue has come against the smaller sides, with just one point collected from the matches against Cremonese and Pisa.
