Champions League, played Tuesday, September 17th, 2024
Here is our AC Milan v Liverpool tip and game preview. Based on our detailed analysis of statistics listed below and other factors, we predicted both teams to score in this game, over 2.5 goals, and a Liverpool away win. Our confidence in this tip was low relative to other tips.
AC Milan collected their first win of their new season on the weekend when they registered a resounding 4-0 home win against newcomers Venezia in the domestic Serie A and this victory will serve as a timely boost in morale for Paulo Fonseca's side as they prepare for the visit of Liverpool to their Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on Tuesday night.
The Italian hosts had previously been held to disappointing and frustrating draws by the likes of Torino 2-2 at home and Lazio 2-2 away from home while also being dealt a surprise 2-1 defeat on the road at Parma, so the jury may still be out as to whether AC Milan have turned the corner in the early stages of this new season.
The bigger picture seems to further emphasise this as AC Milan have managed to capture just six wins in their last 19 matches in all competitions along with being handed six defeats within this period as well, so the hosts' prospects do seem to hang in the balance somewhat for Tuesday night's encounter.
In addition, AC Milan have registered just two wins in their last nine Champions League ties, slipping to four defeats.
Liverpool's impressive three-match winning streak in the domestic English Premier League was brought to a sudden halt on Saturday when Nottingham Forest stopped The Reds in their tracks as they beat their merseyside hosts 1-0 at Anfield.
Previously impressive wins against Ipswich Town, Brentford and Manchester United, the latter being a resounding 3-0 win at Old Trafford, should still give Liverpool plenty of reasons to be upbeat about their chances at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on Tuesday night especially as the visitors have suffered just one defeat in their last 13 matches in all competitions.
Having picked up nine wins within these previous 13 games, Liverpool's momentum should still stand Arne Slot's side in good stead and an away game in the Champions League probably won't faze The Reds as they have been dealt just two defeats in their last 14 away games overall.
AC Milan v Liverpool Verdict
Liverpool have won five of their last seven ties in the Champions League along with recording wins home and away against their upcoming hosts, AC Milan, back in the 2021 Champions League as well.
Therefore, our main bet will be Liverpool win @ 1.90
Other side bets worth considering:
Liverpool win & Over 2 goals @ 2.50
Correct Score: Liverpool 2-1 @ 8.50
