Stadium: Dragao (Porto)
In the third round of the Champions League group stage, Portugal’s Porto will face Italy’s AC Milan. The Portuguese are slightly favoured to host the game. We also note that the Italians have some big squad problems.
Porto
The Portuguese started with an away draw against Atlético Madrid 0-0, followed by a resounding 1-5 home defeat at the hands of Liverpool. As a result, the Dragons are sitting in third place in Group B’s standings before the third leg, with an asset of one point. The upcoming clash between Porto and AC Milan could be described as a battle for third place in the group. It is hard to believe that any of our teams can realistically compete with Atletico or Liverpool for a spot in the top 2 of the group. Separately, Porto are second in their league table, one point behind leading side Benfica.
Milan
Milan have lost their opening two games in the 2021/22 UEFA Champions League, but both times they were beaten, first 2-3 to Liverpool at Anfield and then 1-2 to Atletico San Siro. Milan were the first to open the scoring in the home game, but nine minutes into the game, the Red and Black were reduced to ten men on penalties when Kessie was sent off for the second time. Milan held on for a long time but could not hold out, conceding two goals at the very end of the game, 84 minutes and 7 minutes into the second period. After defeating Atletico, Milan won two Serie A matches, both 3-2 against Atalanta and Verona. After eight games played, they are second in the Italian league after eight games, two points behind the leading side, Napoli.
Expert Betting Tips
After all, Milan have been without the Champions League for a long time, so the Italians have a lot of motivation this season and, should they manage to beat the Portuguese twice, Milan could well clinch the runners-up spot. Milan, unlike Porto, fought both Atletico and Liverpool and led twice but lost both fixtures. The Italians are all right, judging by their recent results in Serie A. Let’s bet on AC Milan, and as for the total, we hope for a productive match. Our picks are Handicap 2 (0.25) for 1.92, Both Teams To Score - yes for 1.77, W2+Both Teams To Score - yes for 6.00.
