Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for AC Milan vs. PSG at UEFA Champions League
The Rossoneri have to win this one, otherwise, they are very close to being eliminated from the Round of 16 contention. Milan is not in a good spot, and we need to say their performances disappointed us a little bit. Paris Saint Germain experiences some turbulence, and they are mostly about Mbappe and his status. Though, the Saints have been on the rise over the past few weeks, improving their results.
AC Milan
Rossoneri didn’t score a single goal throughout 270 minutes of playing in the Champions League, and that’s a big, big failure for Stefano Pioli’s unit. Yes, in certain situations, they didn’t have luck, but overall, Milan’s performances are beneath the expectations.
Only two points in three events have set off the alarm at San Siro. The team needs to do something to win and stay in the race for the knockout stage. They are four points behind PSG with three games left, and this is the key game for their ambitions.
Milan has been good at home this year, with them posting just one loss, against Juventus, 0-1. So far, the defense has been a better part of the team in front of their own crowd, because Rossoneri already have three clean sheets.
PSG
The situation with Mbappe is frustrating for any PSG fan, and we believe the same goes for the owners. Yes, the Frenchman is among the best in the world, if not the best, but still, this is becoming hard to watch.
However, we need to say that the team is on the rise, despite all the talks, speculations, and actions, and that’s because of Mbappe. Coming into last weekend, PSG’s attack had four straight games in a row, all wins, in which they’ve scored at least three hits.
Luis Enrique is a demanding head coach, and we know his system needs some time before the results come. It appears right now, that the players only recently began adapting to his tactical demands and that as time goes by, it will be even better.
AC Milan: Maignan; Calabria, Tomori, Thiaw, Hernandez; Musah, Krunic, Reijnders; Romero, Giroud, Leao
Paris Saint-Germain: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Skriniar, Hernandez; Zaire-Emery, Ugarte, Vitinha; Lee, Mbappe, Kolo Mouani
PSG blew away Milan some two weeks ago. The result in Paris was 3-0 for the home unit, who dominated throughout the entire meeting. Mbappe, Mouani, and Lee scored each for the home unit.
From what we saw in that game in Paris, Milan’s defense doesn’t have the capacity to keep up with Mbappe. On the other side, Rossoneri will need to attack and open up a bit, which is why we pick over 2.5 goals as the safest pick. The Italians have to take certain risks, which is a great reason to bet on high efficiency here.
Our verdict: Over 2.5 goals
