AC Milan – Tottenham : Preview & Prediction
Milan comes to this tie after recovering the smile in Serie A, where they had three consecutive defeats against Lazio, Sassuolo and Inter, but this Friday they got back the 3 points in Torino’s visit to San Siro.
A 1-0 win for the Rossoneri, scored by Olivier Giroud, helped Milan to stay on the same points as Atalanta and Roma in the fight for a place in next year’s Champions League.
In the group stage they did not have much of a problem as they were placed in Group E along with Chelsea. Even if they were a bit weak in the last two matchdays, they were able to win with 4-0 wins over Dinamo Zagreb and 4-0 against Salzburg.
Goalkeeper Mike Maignan will be absent, while Ismael Bennacer, Fikayo Tomori and Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be back, although their conditions will have to be assessed in order for them to take part in the match.
Milan could start with Tatarusanu; Pierre Kalulu, Simon Kjaer, Fikayo Tomori; Saelemaekers, Bennacer, Sandro Tonali, Theo Hernandez; Brahim Diaz, Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud.
This weekend they suffered a tough setback in the Premier League, where they are aiming for a place in the Champions League, when they were defeated in the visit to Leicester by 4 goals to 1. Possibly the result is related to the immediacy of this tie, especially when the previous day they were able to beat Manchester City.
Tottenham’s starting eleven could consist of Fraser Forster; Cristian Romero, Eric Dier, Ben Davies; Emerson Royal, Pape Sarr, Oliver Skipp, Ivan Perisic; Kulusevski, Heung-min Son and Harry Kane.
