AC Milan vs Liverpool Tips

Tip 1

Liverpool have transitioned from Jurgen Klopp’s relentless pressing team into a more controlled unit under Arne Slot. The latter’s first four matches have seen the Reds focus on their organisation outside of possession in order to restrict counter attacks and limit the former’s chaotic approach to proceedings.

They’ve played very cautiously in the first half of games with Slot in charge – something they’re likely to adopt on the road in Europe this term – clearly evidenced by two of these fixtures going into the break goalless.

Milan have had it far from their own way in the infancy of Paulo Fonseca’s reign, however, the fact that they’ve only faced 28 shots within their first four matches tells you that the first half at the San Siro is unlikely to be heavy on the action.

Tip 2

Since five of the eight goals scored in Liverpool games have been recorded after the half-time whistle, we’re siding with the Reds to get the job done in the second half of a tight game in Milan.

Banging four goals in against a likely relegated Venezia doesn’t accurately portray the kind of offensive muscle Milan have, while LFC only had their perfect clean sheet record blemished by a magnificent Callum Hudson-Odoi strike last Saturday.

AC Milan Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

A decisive 4-0 victory over newly-promoted Venezia isn’t going to endear boss Paulo Fonseca to the Milan faithful, however, it did help him record his first win in charge of the Italian outfit.

Ismael Bennacer, Alessandro Florenzi, Marco Sportiello, Malick Thiaw and Davide Calabria are all absent for the hosts.

AC Milan Predicted XI: Maignan; Emerson, Gabbia, Pavlovic, Hernandez; Reijnders, Fofana, Loftus-Cheek; Pulisic, Abraham, Leao.

Liverpool Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

Saturday’s 1-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest was a bitter pill to swallow for the dominant Reds, who now look to assert themselves on the European stage under their new Dutch head coach.

With sustained uncertainty over Federico Chiesa’s full fitness, a homeland debut is unlikely for the Italian winger.

Liverpool Predicted XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Endo, Gravenberch; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Nunez.
