AC Milan and Chelsea face off on Tuesday in a UEFA Champions League soccer Group E showdown at San Siro.
When these two teams faced off on October 5th it was Chelsea that was able to secure the 3-0 victory. Wesley Fofana opened up the scoring in the 24th minute, and they never looked back as they cruised to the victory. Chelsea had 52 percent of the possession and six shots on target. AC Milan didn’t have a ton of scoring chances and finished the game with 48 percent of the possession and one shot on goal.
AC Milan currently sits in 2nd place in the standings, having picked up four points. On Saturday, AC Milan faced off against Juventus, and they were able to secure a 2-0 victory. Fikayo Tomori scored in the 45th minute and Braham Diaz scored in the 54th minute to secure the victory. AC Milan had 39 percent of the possession and only three shots on target, but it was still enough to secure the win. AC Milan is super banged up heading into this game, and they will be missing a ton of talent here. Mike Maignan, Alessandro Florenzi, Zlatan Ibrahimović, Junior Messias, Simon Kjaer, Davide Calabria, and Alexis Saelemaekers are all out for this game.
On the other side of this matchup is Chelsea, who sits in second place having picked up four points. Chelsea faced off against the Wolves on Saturday, and they were able to secure a 3-0 victory. The first goal came in stoppage time in the first half, and they added goals in the 54th and 89th minutes. Chelsea had 59 percent of the possession and seven shots on target. N’Golo Kante is dealing with a hamstring injury and there are some major doubts if he will be able to go in this game.
Chelsea beat AC Milan in the last game, but this game is going to be different. Chelsea isn’t going to find as much offensive success here, and this game is going to be lower-scoring. Look for Chelsea to get through the Milan defense, but AC Milan will also struggle to score here. This game is going to be a 1-0 or 1-1 type of game, and the under will cash.
