AC Milan vs Arsenal Prediction & Betting tips
What sounded like finals in the Champions League just a few years ago is now round of 16 in the Europa League. The duel between AC Milan and Arsenal is certainly the high-carats in the round of the last 16. But in fact the success of the two clubs is limited and this season too, the two clubs largely disappointed that they could shine. But at least in the AC Milan was in the last few weeks and months, a huge increase in performance can be seen, so that the Italians go for me as a favorite in the race.
AC Milan:
If you realize that AC Milan has been unbeaten in 13 competitive games, of which he has won ten, there can be no question of disappointment. Last week Milan even reached the final of Coppa Italia. After also 0-0 in the semi-final second leg at Lazio Rome after 120 minutes, the Rossoneri prevailed on penalties and now meet in the final on Juventus. In this sense, the success in Rome was the sixth competitive win in a row. And not only that: in none of these last six victories AC Milan conceded a goal! It is fair to say that the handwriting of Gennaro Gattuso, who took over the helm at AC Milan in early December, is now clearly legible. That would also mean that what prevents those responsible from being satisfied with the season so far: The yield under former coach Vincenzo Montella.
In Serie A, AC Milan are only seventh despite their last eight undefeated games and 20 out of a possible 24 out of those games, who do not even qualify for participation in qualifying for the Europa League in Italy next season. At the weekend, AC Milan were expected to play in the city derby against Inter Milan, but the match was postponed like all Sunday games due to the tragedy surrounding Fiorentina captain Davide Astori. In the last Serie A match on the penultimate weekend, AC Milan set a further fragrance with a 2-0 win at AS Roma. In the Europa League, the Italian had no problems in the sixteenth finals and prevailed against Ludogorez Razgrad sovereign. After the 3-0 win in Bulgaria in the first leg, AC Milan made it easier for them to win 1-0 at home.
Arsenal:
The pressure on Arsene Wenger is getting bigger! Arsenal lost his fourth competitive game in a row at the weekend. After the still bearable 1: 2 in the second leg of the European League semi-final against Östersund (Arsenal had won the first leg away 3-0), the Gunners lost 2-0 against Manchester City twice within five days. In Wembley Arsenal lost first the final of the Carabao Cup, a few days later at home in the Premier League. Their negative climax took the previous defeat series on Sunday, when Arsenal lost in promoted Brighton & Hove Albion with 1: 2. The hit for the Gunners scored Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who is not eligible to play in the Europa League for Arsenal. In the Premier League Arsenal is only in sixth place and will be content in the upcoming season probably only with the Europa League. Because the gap to Tottenham in fourth place is already thirteen points and will be no more catching up with eight remaining matchdays.
The only chance is winning the Europa League, but after the last appearances of the Gunners that seems unlikely. Away from his last eight competitive games Arsenal has won only the mentioned game at Östersunds. There were also two draws and five defeats! In the Premier League Arsenal is with only a meager three wins, four draws and already eight bankruptcies in fifteen away games only ranked 10 of the away table. And another disastrous statistic: Arsenal lost eight of his last thirteen competitive matches. It is not unlikely that the next bankruptcy will be added in Milan.
