Command Analysis
AC Milan
ItalyAC Milan had an amazing season and have earned a direct ticket to the Champions League. Two weeks ago, the Rossoneri played their first game of the group stage at Liverpool. Stefano Pioli's men were in the lead before halftime but failed to maintain the advantage, and in the end, Liverpool won with a score of 2:3.
The Rossoneri are enjoying success in Serie A. AC Milan are yet to lose a game; after six rounds they have 16 points and are occupying 2nd place in the Serie A table. The Rossoneri also show second-best performance in defense. After a draw with Juventus (1:1), AC Milan triumphed over Venezia (2:0) and Spezia (2:1).
Ibrahimovic, Plizzari, Kjær, Bakayoko, Krunic, and Florenzi are injured and have been ruled out of this fixture.
Atletico Madrid
SpainAfter ten long years of struggle, Atletico Madrid finally became the champions of La Liga. Atletico topped the standings for half a season and beat Real Madrid to the title by 2 points. As the champions, Atletico Madrid got to represent Spain in the Champions League. However, their start in the European elite was underwhelming. In the first game of the group stage, Atletico Madrid recorded a goalless draw with Porto.
After seven rounds of La Liga, Diego Simeone's men have 4 victories, and 2 of their matches ended in a draw. In the last three rounds, Atletico drew with Athletic Bilbao (0:0), got a hard-earned victory over Getafe (2:1), suffered a shock defeat against Deportivo Alaves (0:1).

Tip and bets
The reigning champions of La Liga have had an unconvincing start to the season. They have scored only 14 points and now occupy 4th place in the standings. AC Milan have a better position; they are unbeaten in Serie A and are in good spirits. We predict that the opponents will play well on the defensive and suggest playing the total under.
Our prediction - total under 2,5 goals
It is hard to pick a favourite in this fixture. We believe that the hosts hold a slight upper hand going into this game and expect AC Milan to extend their streak of home victories to six games.
