FC Porto – AC Milan: The probable line-ups, predictions and on which channel to follow the match
No more room for error. FC Porto and AC Milan meet in Portugal to finally scratch their first European victory this season. It will be necessary to surf the national dynamics to reflect them in the Champions League.
FC Porto à la carte in hand. Before this meeting, the Dragons are one step ahead of their opponents. The draw (0-0) collected against Atlético de Madrid provides a working basis for the rest of the competition. Unbeaten in the league (2nd), the Portuguese team does not find the same dynamic in the Champions League.
The heavy setback on the last day (1-5) against Liverpool left its mark on the supporters. So, this reception from AC Milan can allow them to remember on one of the two ogres of the other meeting of this group.
On the Rossoneri side, the same story goes. A successful start to the national exercise with a second place in Serie A and an unbeaten streak that still extends. Or, the Milanese fail to attract their highlights in Europe. Each time, they manage to lead either against the red (3-2) or the Colchoneros (1-2).
In the end, two setbacks. So, the return of Zlatan Ibrahimovic could allow Stefano Pioli’s men to obtain more offensive guarantees. A defeat would put them in a very bad position for qualification in C1 and even in C3.
For us, the shock promises to be terrible. An avalanche of goals between a severe FC Porto and a voluntary AC Milan. Taremi at the finish on one side and Ibrahimovic then Rebic on the other. A scorers’ fight as we like to see them in the Big Ears Cup.
In the midfield, a lot of quality emerges from each side and high recovery will be the key. So, a result (2-2) that would not suit anyone in the race for qualification.
