Seeking a third straight Champions League win, Italian giants AC Milan will meet struggling Slovan Bratislava at Stadion Tehelne Pole on Tuesday evening.
Slovan Bratislava:
Slovan Bratislava face an uphill battle as they host AC Milan in the Champions League. The Slovakian side has had a tough start to their first-ever group-stage campaign, losing all four of their matches and sitting at the bottom of the table with a dismal -13 goal difference. Their 4-1 defeat to Dinamo Zagreb was a low point, and they’ve scored just two goals in four games. While they have been dominant domestically, winning 14 of their last 17 matches and recently drawing 1-1 with Kosice, the step up in quality against European giants like Milan will be a huge challenge. With matches against Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich still to come, Slovan’s hopes of making it out of the group are already slim. They will be hoping to put up a good fight in front of their home crowd, but it would be a major upset if they can take anything from this fixture.
AC Milan:
AC Milan are on the up in the Champions League, securing back-to-back victories over Club Brugge and the defending champions Real Madrid. Their 3-1 triumph at the Bernabeu was a standout performance, with Alvaro Morata scoring against his former club. Despite their recent struggles in Serie A, where they’ve managed just 19 points from their first 12 matches, Milan have found their groove in Europe. They are currently in the playoff spots, just three points off the top eight, and they’ll look to extend their winning run in this crucial match. Although their domestic form has been inconsistent, Milan's European pedigree should shine through in this fixture against a team yet to register a point. With a star-studded squad and the momentum of their recent wins, Milan will be expected to take all three points and continue their quest for European success.
