The first of two crucial games within four days will see AC Milan visit regional rivals Atalanta BC on Saturday evening.
Aiming to stay in touch with Serie A's pace-setters and also progress in Europe, Milan must tackle La Dea ahead of next week's Champions League clash against Newcastle United.
Christian Pulisic was among the scorers at San Siro, moving on to five goals and two assists from his first 12 Serie A games, and following their 1-0 win against Fiorentina a week earlier, the Rossoneri seem to have steadied the ship for now.
In between the two triumphs, Pioli's men had slipped to last place in this year's Champions League 'Group of Death' with a 3-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund, meaning they must now beat Newcastle next week - in addition to already-qualified Dortmund overcoming Paris Saint-Germain.
The seven-time European champions still hold slim hopes of reaching the last 16, but first they resume domestic duties sitting behind both city rivals Inter Milan and rejuvenated Juventus in the Serie A standings.
