Four games without a win for Milan, in all competitions, and a 3-0 loss last time they played in the Champions League, tonight’s game against PSG could be a make or break moment for their 2023/24 campaign. Sitting last in the table behind Newcastle, Dortmund and table-toppers PSG, 2 draws and a loss could leave them out of the running if they fail to beat Paris St Germain at the San Siro and if either Newcastle or Dortmund take home all 3 points. But do AC Milan have what it takes to overcome the Ligue 1 champions, or will this be the moment that their Champions League dream ends early?
Having reached the semi-finals in last years Champions League, Stefano Pioli is no stranger to the competition. Despite Milan’s disappointing start to the campaign, he will be fighting to ensure the Rossoneri finish the game a win, but at present, it seems that the bookmakers do not agree when it comes to the latest AC Milan vs PSG betting odds. According to BetVictor, at the time of writing, the PSG odds have them at slight favourites to win, at 13/10, meaning a £10 bet would payout £23. The AC Milan odds, however, are at 19/10, so a £10 wager would return a more lucrative £29. Perhaps more comforting for Milan is the fact that two of the top three highest predicted goalscorers are theirs, with both Olivier Giroud and Rafael Leao only beaten by French superstar Kylian Mbappe. So what about player selections?
AC Milan go into the game without Pierre Kalulu, Simon Kjaer and Ismail Bennacer, although could have Theo Hernandez, Pulisic and Chukwueze available after various knocks and injuries. For PSG, Danilo Pereira’s recent knock means he will be out of action and will be joined by Nuno Mendes, Presnel Kimpembe and Marco Asensio. Lucas Hernandez might be available, however, for a match that could see him face his brother. No matter the players on the pitch, both teams will be sure to be playing to their best abilities in order to secure a win for their team.
With not long to go before both teams go head to head, be sure to keep an eye on the football betting markets for the latest odds and updates.
BV Prediction: If Milan can hold off Mbappe and rally the crowd behind them at the San Siro, this could be their chance to get their Champions League campaign back on track. Expect a game with lots of emotion and plenty of crunch tackles, but if PSG can’t get the ball to Mbappe easily, we expect Milan might just want this more tonight.
