Why bet on Real Madrid?
Reigning Champions League titleholders Real Madrid face the pressure to defend their crown in this new format, but their European performances thus far have been less than stellar.
The Blancos managed a 5-2 home victory over Borussia Dortmund, with goals from Antonio Rüdiger, Lucas Vázquez, and a hat-trick by VinÃcius Jr. Despite the decisive win, the Spanish side’s performance raised concerns, especially after conceding two first-half goals.
Carlo Ancelotti’s team didn’t play over the weekend due to natural disasters in Spain. Their last outing was a humbling 0-4 defeat to Barcelona.
Both the coach and players are facing heavy criticism, particularly Kylian Mbappé, who has yet to showcase the qualities that place him among the world’s best. With 13 appearances, seven goals (most by penalty), and two assists, his contributions are under scrutiny.
Conversely, Vini continues to prove he’sthe key asset for Madrid, despite again missing out on the Ballon d’Or.
Real Madrid currently sit 12th in the Champions League standings with six points, positioning them to qualify for the round of 16.
For this match,they’ll be without injured players Thibaut Courtois and Dani Carvajal.
Why bet on Milan?
AC Milan is a sleeping giant in the Champions League, having not claimed the title since 2007 or reached a final since that year. The Rossoneri are in urgent need of improving their performance, as they are currently on the verge of being left out of the race for titles early on.
In the previous round, they managed a 3-1 victory over Club Brugge, Belgium, with goals from Christian Pulisic and a double from Tijani Reijnders.
However, the Italian side sits 25th in the standings, which is concerning as the Champions League progresses. They have only three points, having lost to Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen.
This struggle in Europe is reflected in their Serie A campaign, where they currently hold seventh place with 17 points, trailing eight behind leaders Napoli.
American star Pulisic leads the team in scoring with seven goals.
Several players are sidelined due to injuries, including Davide Calabria, Matteo Gabbia, Ismael Bennacer, and Luka Jovic.
