AC Milan coach Sinisa Mihajlovic hopes victory over Chievo can lift their self-belief.

Milan made it two wins on the bounce with a 1-0 triumph over Chievo last night.

“Once again we barely allowed a shot on goal for our opponents and the second half was considerably better than the first," said Mihajlovic.

“We kept a clean sheet and after 10 rounds of always conceding at least one goal that is already an achievement. We had numerous shots on target and it's a shame we were unable to convert more of them.

“We picked up some points and climbed up the standings, so this should help shake off some of that fear we've been carrying from previous seasons."

He added: “This was a fundamental win to boost confidence and I compliment Chievo for their performance. Now we have another difficult match against Lazio coming up."
