Why Bet on PSG?
PSG have steadied the ship since their torrid experience on Tyneside, overcoming Rennes before the international break before beating Strasbourg 3-0 on Saturday.
Kylian Mbappé played a starring role, converting an early penalty before teeing up Carlos Soler for PSG’s second goal, while Fabián Ruiz added a late third as PSG closed in on the Ligue 1 summit.
They are in the second spot in Group F, but it was quite a surprise for them to lose in such a way to Newcastle in their previous match. Now they have to pick up the pace, as they are no longer the leaders in the group, and their opponents are not far behind.
Why Bet on AC Milan?
Milan must find a route to goal if they are to have any chance of replicating last season’s run to the last four. Across the first two Champions League matchdays of 2023-24, only Man City (55) and Real Madrid (50) attempted more shots than Milan (39), but the ‘Rossoneri’ failed to make the breakthrough in goalless draws with Newcastle and Dortmund.
AC Milan’s run has not been outstanding so far, but they are just picking up the pace as they go, and they are likely to put it all on the line in this match. Their tough opponent has been fragile recently, and they could take the shot at ripping them open.
Final Betting Analysis: PSG vs. AC Milan
PSG have not faced Milan in the Champions League since the teams drew twice in 2000-01’s second group stage, but they have started to enjoy success against Italian teams lately.
Aside from their implosion in the Derby della Madonnina, Milan knows how to keep things tight when required and came close to posting a fourth straight clean sheet in all competitions last weekend, even conditioned with one man less.
Therefore, even PSG’s attacking stars may find it tough to score more than once, and a share of the spoils would perfectly set up next month’s second leg.
If you place $100 on a draw, you could get $310 for a total payout of $410.
