Milan is gearing up for an important match against Cremona following a disappointing loss to Parma, marking their second defeat at home this season. Coach Allegri acknowledged the team's struggles, mentioning that the team is still feeling the effects of the recent defeat. The primary aim in this upcoming away match is not just to chase down rivals Inter but to fortify their second place position in the league, particularly as Napoli is closely contending for the same spot. The objective of securing a Champions League place has been a target since September, intensifying the importance of the upcoming games.

Historically, Milan has faced challenges when playing in Cremona, with their last victory in the city dating back to 1993 when Fabio Capello was managing. The team has struggled to score against Cremona, with even the past few meetings yielding disappointing results, including a mere draw under previous coach Pioli. This long-standing lack of success might be contributing to Allegri's cautious approach, as he opts to retain his striking duo of Leao and Pulisic who have been underperforming, especially Pulisic who has not scored since December.

With limited choices and pressure to deliver results, Allegri is looking for reinforcements and has hinted at considering Fullkrug as a potential addition to bolster the attacking lineup. The stakes are high for Milan as they strive to not only secure their top position against Napoli but also to regain confidence ahead of subsequent matches in the league and approaching Champions League aspirations.
