UEFA Champions League Stage: Milan vs Liverpool

Match Details

Time: 2:00 am | Live broadcast: BeIN Sports 3 | Stadium: San Siro

Milan

Under the guidance of new Portuguese boss Paulo Fonseca, Milan unlocked Heseria A in the game, defeating Venezia with 4 goals and Luka Jovic. The formation is only expected to be modified by 2 points, with Alvaro Morata, the new captain of the Spanish national team that won Euro 2024, expected to start.

Liverpool

After losing to Nottingham Forest, Arne Slots is looking to adjust the team to fix their faltering form. While the adjustment may not be drastic, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ryan Grafenberg, and Dominic Sobozlai may be dropped in favor of Conor Brad Crowley, Wataru Endo, and Curtis Jones. Mo Salah, Luis Diaz, or Diogo Jota are still likely to find the back of the net, while Federi Ko Chiesa, a new player, has been training fully and may make his debut.

Expected Lineups

Milan (4-3-3): Mike Mennon – Emerson Royal, Fikayo Tomori, Strahinia Pavlovic, Theo Hernandez – Tijani Reiders, Youssuf Fofana, Ruben Loftus-Cheek – Christian Pulisic, Alvaro Morata, Rafael Leao

Liverpool (4-2-3-1): Alisson Becker – Conor Bradley, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, Andrew Robertson – Wataru Endo, A Lexis Mac Allister – Mohamed Salah, Curtis Jones, Luis Diaz – Diogo Jota

Match Prediction

Milan started with a new coach without very impressive results, while Liverpool had just lost at home. Given that it’s the first game, neither team wants to lose, and the match is expected to be wide open.

Expected Result

Milan draw with Liverpool 1-1
