Liverpool vs Milan Prediction: the Reds Have Troubles, but Still Dangerous

Prediction for the match between Liverpool vs Milan, which will take place on December 16th. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options!

Liverpool, in recent years, claimed the championship in the EPL, but Jurgen Klopp's charges are unsuccessful this season. They began to lose points from the first rounds, floundering at the bottom of the standings for a long time. But before the international break, they still beat Tottenham and Southampton - 2:1 and 3:1 and rose to sixth place. The Merseysiders managed to make it to the playoffs from a problematic group in the Champions League, albeit from second place, so they will play against Real Madrid in the last 16. Preparing for the season, Liverpool has already played with Lyon - 1:3.

Milan is doing much better. Last season Stefano Pioli's side unexpectedly became champions, regaining the title after many years. More importantly, after such tremendous success, they have not relaxed and kept the core of the squad, showing promising results in the current Serie A. We cannot talk about defending the title, but the second place in the standings is alright, even though the gap from the leading Napoli is already eight points. Milan is out of the group in the Champions League and will now play in the 1/8 finals against Tottenham. The day before, the Italians played a friendly with Arsenal - 1:2.

Liverpool and AC Milan played their most famous encounter in 2005 when the Merseysiders gave up three goals in the second half before ending up stronger in a shootout and winning the Champions League. The history of their rivalry did not end there. In recent years the advantage is on the side of the British, who have won four straight matches by a combined score of 9:3. In the upcoming game, they are the favorites, possessing a more powerful squad. 

Liverpool has been poor in the EPL this season, but the Reds have looked good offensively even in a troubled year. In 14 rounds, Jurgen Klopp's charges have scored 28 goals (2.00 average per game). Against AC Milan, the English are in a good position to return to their attacking form, as they have scored at least two goals in their last four encounters with the Italians.
