AC Milan vs Club Brugge KV Prediction & Betting Tips (22 October)

AC Milan are in a worrying state in this Champions League having lost their first two matches against the Liverpool Reds at home 1-3 and at Leverkusen on matchday 2 1-0. With 0 points on the clock, the Rossoneri are finally obliged to win this evening to still hope to have a chance of finishing in the top 8 at the end of the league phase. In the league, the 7 times winner of the Champions League was in good spirits with three successive successes against Venezia 4-0, in the Madonnina derby against Inter 1-2 and in demonstration against Lecce 3 -0. Just before the break, the Milanese will have tried to remain undefeated on the pitch of Fiorentina to follow and upon returning from the break, there are three days against Udinese to follow.

Defeated sharply by Borussia Dortmund during J1 at the home 0-3, Club Bruges got back on track perfectly by gleaning the 3 points from Sturm Graz on the smallest of margins 0-1. The reigning Belgian champion, on the other hand, has shortcomings in putting himself in a position in the elite since apart from his four victories in a row before the start of the Champions, the Gazelles subsequently had two days without success including a defeat against La Gantoise 2-4 and sharing the points on the Charleroi pitch 1-1. Like AC Milan, the Belgians will have played two championship matches between the two days of Champions, against Union Saint-Gilloise in the shock before the truce to follow and last weekend on the pitch of the KVC Westerlo to follow. 

Injured for a few weeks now, Bennacer will once again be absent like former PSG right-back Florenzi and replacement goalkeeper Sportiello, both of whom are also injured. While we could have expected a boy like Morata against Bayer Leverkusen, it was Tammy Abraham (ex-AS Roma) who started in front of a support duo made up of Leao (1 goal, 3 assists in the league) and from Pulisic (4 achievements, 2 cakes in SA). Absent since the start of the season, the young Dutchman Bjorn Meijer is expected to forfeit once again.

For the rest, the group should travel in full, including the striker recruited this summer at the expense of Fortuna Düsseldorf, Tzolis (2 goals in the league), sole scorer against Sturm Graz. Note also the presence of Skov Olsen (4 goals), Vanaken (3 goals, 2 assists) and Nilsson (3 goals, 4 assists), surprise absence against Sturm Graz.
