AC Milan vs Liverpool Prediction & Betting tips
The UEFA Champions League starts in the new format where 36 teams will be in the same group, abandoning the format with eight groups in which four teams played in round-trip matches. In this new format, the round-trip format has been abandoned and each team will play eight matches, with eight different opponents, four matches at home and four away. The derby of the first round is played at the Stadio San Siro, where AC Milan will play against Liverpool, this evening from 20:00. In the 2021-2022 season, there were the last direct confrontations in the UEFA Champions League, in group B, and then Liverpool won both games as well as the group with the most points. The last direct confrontation took place in 2022 in a friendly match that Liverpool also won 4-1. The most famous direct confrontations are the 2005 and 2007 UEFA Champions League finals, Liverpool winning the 2005 one and AC Milan the 2007 one.
AC Milan:
AC Milan comes to this match after the 4-0 weekend victory against Venezia, this being the Rossoneri’s best match at the start of the season, but also the first win after two draws and a defeat. With the five points accumulated in four rounds of Serie A, AC Milan is in 9th place in the ranking, but Fonseca’s team hopes for more. In the previous season of the European Cups, AC Milan stopped in the quarterfinals of the Europa League after being defeated in both legs by AS Roma. However, AC Milan reached the Europa League after being eliminated from the UEFA Champions League groups, where it took 3rd place after Dortmund and PSG, but in front of Newcastle. In the next match, AC Milan will play away, the derby with Inter, and in the UEFA Champions League, the next opponent will be Bayer Leverkusen, last season’s Bundesliga champion and Europa League finalist.
Liverpool:
On the other hand, Liverpool also started the season with a new coach, after the end of Jurgen Klopp’s contract, bringing in the Dutchman Arne Slot from Feyernoord. The beginning of the season was perfect with three consecutive victories, without conceding a goal, one of which was away against rival Manchester United, score 3-0. After this victory, however, there followed the competitive break caused by the UEFA Nations League matches of the national teams, and now at the weekend, Liverpool lost at home 0-1 against Nottingham, thus missing the chance to be the leader in the ranking with maximum points alongside rival Manchester City. Liverpool missed qualifying for the UEFA Champions League last year, but did a good job in the Europa League, where they were also eliminated in the quarter-finals by Atalanta, after losing the home match 3-0, and in the return the 1-0 victory was no longer enough. For Liverpool, the Premier League home match against Bournemouth will follow, and the next opponent in the UEFA Champions League will be another Serie A team, Bologna.
