There’s a big Champions League clash taking place at the San Siro, with this fixture likely to be highly significant when it comes to determining which side qualify for the last sixteen stage of the competition. Milan gave a strong account of themselves at Anfield when losing 3-2 a fortnight ago although another defeat would have them looking at Europa League participation.
Stefano Pioli’s side finished second in the Serie A standings last season and they have looked impressive domestically, with three consecutive victories being recorded before a 1-1 draw at Juventus, with Ante Rebic having scored in back-to-back games and the defence looks strong with Simon Kjaer and Fikayo Tomori operating centrally.
Atletico Madrid were thwarted against Porto in their opener when drawing 0-0 and it was the same scoreline a few days later when clashing with Athletic Bilbao, with Diego Simeone’s side only mustering two shots on target in both clashes as they continue to operate a pragmatic approach under their manager.
Therefore, we’ll side with a low-scoring game due to the fact that neither team will want to lose the game, with two goals or less likely to be on the cards in this game.
