AC Milan vs Salernitana
TV: BT Sports 1 (7:45pm)
Both teams to Score, No
AC Milan were rarely troubled in their recent outing at Tottenham in the Champions League, making it five clean sheets in their last six games in all competitions.
Milan’s record of 32 goals conceded in 25 games is nowhere near the best in Serie A, but they have made significant improvements to their defence in recent weeks and should have little problems adding another clean sheet against Salernitana.
Salernitana have failed to score in four of their last six Serie A games and have failed to score in half of their away league games this season. It is unlikely that they will score against a much-improved AC Milan rear guard.
Rafael Leao to Score Anytime
Rafael Leao is decent value to score on Monday considering he is AC Milan’s top scorer in the league. The Portuguese forward has scored eight goals in the Serie A this season but has not scored in his last seven outings in the league in a run stretching back to mid-January.
However, he has produced a series of excellent performances in that run and has just been unable to get his name on the scoresheet. Leao scored in Milan’s win over Salernitana at the beginning of January and can break his duck against the same opposition on Monday night.

Girona v Atletico Madrid
TV: Premier Sports 2 (8pm)
Atletico Madrid to Win
It has not been a vintage Atletico Madrid season by any means. Dumped out of the Champions League in the group stages and 17 points off the top of the table in Spain, Diego Simeone appears to be going out with a whimper.
However, there have been signs of life in recent months. Atletico are unbeaten in their last eight league games, winning five of them. They enjoyed a 6-1 win over relegation-threatened Sevilla last time out and can strengthen their grip on a Champions League place with a win over Girona on Monday night.
Girona have blown hot and cold in recent weeks, winning four and losing four of their last eight games in the league. They are no mugs and will provide a stern test for Atletico on Monday night. However, Atletico’s newfound form should see them over the line.
Memphis Depay to Score Anytime
Memphis Depay started for the first time since joining Atletico in the win over Sevilla and scored twice in the opening 26 minutes. The Dutch forward has struggled for minutes since joining from Barcelona in the winter transfer window but has scored three goals in five La Liga appearances, which is nothing to be sneered at.
Depay scored a late winner in Atletico’s last away win, popping up in the 89th minute to give Simeone’s side a 1-0 win over Celta Vigo. At almost 2/1, he is good value to score again on Monday night.
Over 2.5 Goals
Goals have been a hallmark of recent Girona games. In their last three games, Girona have scored 11 goals and conceded seven for a combined total of 18 goals – an average of six goals per game. Only Sevilla and Elche, who are currently rock bottom, have conceded more goals in La Liga than Girona this season.
On the other hand, their record of 38 goals scored is the joint third-best attacking record in Spain along with Monday night’s opponents Atletico Madrid.
Only Real Madrid and Barcelona have scored more goals than Girona in the league this season and it wouldn’t be surprising if they managed to score on Monday. Atletico may have to score at least twice if they are to make it three wins in three games.
