Champions League tips for today didn’t end in AC Milan vs Tottenham alone. I have previously made my prediction on PSG vs Bayern Munich’s game. You can see it here.
Today marks the start of the Champions League knockout phase, with AC Milan hosting Tottenham Hotspur for the first leg of their last-16 match.
Friday’s narrow victory against Torino helped Milan get back on track, but the visitors still need to get their act together following last weekend’s humiliating 4-1 loss to Leicester City.
Match Facts
- AC Milan have lost 4 of their last 5 matches in all competitions
- Tottenham have won 3 of there last 4 matches in all competitions
AC Milan hopes to build on their victory against Torino
With both teams barely outside the Champions League spots in their respective leagues, AC Milan hosts Tottenham.
This season, AC Milan has struggled with some incredibly dubious outcomes, managing just one league victory out of six, which came last Friday at home against Torino.
Tottenham will play without their first choice goalkeeper
After defeating Manchester City 1-0 in their previous match, Tottenham lost to Leicester badly 4-1, and Rodrigo Bentancur’s long-term injury only made matters worse.
For their opening leg contest at the San Siro, they will be without the Uruguayan and Hugo Lloris.
Both of these teams will be lacking in confidence, but Spurs should be pleased with a successful first leg even if the match ends in draw.
Head to Head comparison
In AC Milan’s last four games across all competitions versus Tottenham, they have seen under 2.5 goals.
AC Milan’s team news
Due to injuries, Mike Maignan, Sergino Dest, and Alessandro Florenzi are unable to participate.
Despite their uncertainties, Ismael Bennacer and Fikayo Tomori could play.
Tiemoue Bakayoko and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are unable to participate since they are not listed on the AC Milan UCL roster.
Tottenham’s team news
Due to an injury, both Ryan Sessegnon and Hugo Lloris will miss this game.
Rodrigo Bentancur scored one goal for Tottenham in their 4-1 loss to Leicester but will miss the remainder of the season with a severe knee injury.
Due to Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s suspension for receiving too many yellow cards during the group stage and the absence of Yves Bissouma, Eric Dier and Oliver Skipp may start in midfield together.
Match Verdict
Since neither team wants to take too many risks with a second leg still to play, we believe today’s match might end in a tie.
Conte is entrusted with motivating his players in preparation for a match against an AC Milan team that hasn’t exactly been at their best in 2023.
Prediction
Well, I will stake on under 3.5 goals @1.29 as my best bet since both teams will play cautiously while under 2.5 goals @1.76 is my valuable odd prediction.
