Why Bet on AC Milan?
Not the first team to succumb to a Warren Zaire-Emery masterclass this season, AC Milan were run ragged by the highly-rated 17-year-old when they butted heads with PSG a fortnight ago. Kylian Mbappe and Lee Kang-in both benefitted from assists from the talented teenager on the evening.
Randal Kolo Muani also breached the Milan backline in a comprehensive 3-0 trouncing of Stefano Pioli’s side. Their domestic fortunes have also suffered a nosedive as winter draws nearer, with no wins in any of their last three Serie A battles either.
Milan could be forgiven for losing to Juventus via a deflected Manuel Locatelli goal. However, Pioli’s men later threw away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with under-performing champions Napoli before succumbing to a Roberto Pereyra penalty in a shock 1-0 home loss to Udinese at the weekend. Thus, consolidating what has been a terrible month for the team since their last win at the beginning of October. Now their Champions League round of 16 qualification is in great danger.
Why Bet on PSG?
Making amends for their 4-1 humiliation at the hands of Newcastle United, PSG (who also have a two-goal success against Dortmund to their name) can officially eliminate Milan from top-spot contention by repeating their previous success over the off-color Italian troops. The form book weighs heavily in the visitors’ favor.
After setting up two goals versus the ‘Rossoneri’ and blasting home a rocket of an opener against Brest, Zaire-Emery made Europe stand up and take notice once again during Friday’s visit of Montpellier HSC, netting his side’s second goal either side of efforts from Vitinha and Kang, who is equally proving his worth to Les Parisiens since his summer arrival.
Betting Analysis: AC Milan vs. PSG
A slice of unwanted history appears destined to be written for Milan on Tuesday night. Another fruitless evening in the Champions League is in store against a goal-happy Paris Saint-Germain crop.
A handful of changes from Saturday’s dampening defeat could help Milan keep PSG at bay for a while. However, the Ligue 1 holders should find their way through on more than one occasion to maintain or increase their advantage at the top of Group F, while keeping a rare Champions League away clean sheet to boot. Go for a 0-2 victory for the visitors.
If you place $100 on PSG, you could get $123 for a total payout of $223.
