Slovan Bratislava vs AC Milan Prediction & Betting Tips (26 November)

Slovan Bratislava hits rock bottom in the Champions League. The six-time reigning Slovakian champion lost his first 4 matches on the European scene and is logically in last place in the ranking with the second worst defense of the year, as evidenced by his 15 goals conceded. During the last days of C1, the Slovak team was dominated in Girona 2-0 and on home ground by Dinamo Zagreb with a score of 1-4. At the same time, she looks much better in the championship. Slovan Bratislava is at the top of the standings and went to Kosice on Friday to keep or increase its 3-point lead over its runner-up. AC Milan got off to a bad start to its European campaign, being dominated by Liverpool 1-3 and Leverkusen.

1-0 but knew how to react during the following days. Indeed, the Lombard club first took its first points against Club Bruges 3-1 and continued its momentum, surprisingly, on the pitch of Real Madrid 1-3 before the international break. With 6 points on the clock, the Milanese are 20th at halfway and therefore virtually qualified for a play-off to the round of 16. On the domestic stage, Paulo Fonseca's team hosted Juventus on Saturday. 7th in Serie A, it was imperative to win over the Turinese to reduce its delay in the qualifying places for a continental competition. 

Among the locals, striker Adler, who has been suffering from an injury for several months, is out again, as is seasoned midfielder Kucka (37). It remains to be seen whether the essential Wimmer in the defensive sector, absent for the matches which preceded the international break, will be restored. If they stand out in the Slovak championship with 10 and 8 goals respectively, attackers Barseghyan and Strelec have more difficulty making the difference in the Champions League. Strelec, however, scored one of his club's only two goals midway through the match. It was on the last day against Dinamo Zagreb. Slovan Bratislava has the former Bordeaux player Ignatenko in its ranks. The Ukrainian midfielder has started every match in the current league phase.  On the Milan side, the little-used striker Jovic is not traveling because he has not been registered by his leaders to play in the Champions League.

Long-term injured Florenzi and Bennacer remain sidelined but defender Gabbia, who missed the last few games before the break, could be back. It should be noted that striker Morata was absent this Tuesday. Scorer on the pitch for Real Madrid during the 4th day, he also received a 3rd yellow card in this phase of the league, which forces him to serve a one-match suspension. With 7 goals under his belt, including 2 in the Champions League, Pulisic is AC Milan's top scorer this season. Leão, for his part, is less sharp and has not yet found the fault on the European scene. The Milan squad is more experienced at the highest level than that of Slovan Bratislava.
