AC Milan +1 +115 (2 Units)
AC Milan +680 (0.5 Unit)
Two of Europe's most renowned and successful clubs face-off in Champions League action this afternoon. Real Madrid hosts AC Milan in this group stage match.
Both clubs are expected to advance from the group stage. AC Milan hosts the return match on November 3rd.
Real Madrid definitely deserves to be favoured playing at home. With new coach Jose Mourinho, they have been better prepared to play well defensively. Up front, there is no shortage of offensive talent with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Mesut Ozil and Higuain.
That being said, AC Milan definitely have a puncher's chance in this encounter. They have faced Real Madrid in the group stage and lost 2-1 in Madrid while winning last season 3-2 in Madrid.
With a trident attack of Alexander Pato, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ronaldinho up front, there is definite value in taking Milan to keep it close and perhaps even steal this match. Add to the mix the midfield creativity and dead ball prowess of Andrea Pirlo and definitely worth a look here.
Milan starting goalkeeper (Abbiati) is out, however there isn't a significant drop-off with his backup Marco Amelia. In addition, their central defender Thiago Silva is a game-time decision.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid are without defender Sergio Ramos and attacking midfielder Kaka.
Too much value to pass up. My prediction is a 1-1 draw.
