Sky: Milan have five-point advantage over Inter despite reversed table suggestion

Despite Inter being clear at the top of Serie A by five points, it appears AC Milan are actually the team with an advantage. 

The table rarely lies, but with Milan, there may be a chance for a quick reversal. Of course, the current gap is not impossible to overcome, and things can change very quickly. Additionally, the scheduling may start to play a part.

Now, though, there could be another suggestion that the Rossoneri hold the cards in the title race.

Advantage Milan?

As Sky reports, Massimiliano Allegri’s team have the best head-to-head record in the league this season, with 21 points collected in nine games. So far, they have only dropped points against Juventus, Atalanta and Roma.

However, this could be a bit of a headstart in the latter stages of the season, given they hold victories against Roma and Napoli, who are both chasing the Champions League spots.

Most interestingly, though, they have already claimed three points against Inter, and this could hold huge weight. The Nerazzurri have only managed 16 points in these games so far, creating a five-point gap, and with the H2H disadvantage against the Rossoneri, things could continue to go in their favour.

Currently, Napoli sit behind the Diavolo with 17 points in 10 games, whilst Inter have collected 16 points in nine games.
