Will the Rossoneri be able to justify their status as favorites and fight for the top eight, or will the white-reds spring a surprise and take points from the hosts? In the betting tip, we have analyzed in detail the form in which the teams are approaching the face-to-face meeting and selected the most reliable bets. What choice should you make?
Command Analysis
AC Milan
ItalyCurrent form
Milan certainly expected to fight for a place in the top eight at the end of the league stage – the selection of players allowed them to set such goals. However, the Rossoneri started with a 1:3 defeat to Liverpool on their home field, without offering any resistance to the Reds. In the second round, they also failed to score points – in Leverkusen there was a 0:1 defeat to Bayer.
However, the failure in Germany is Milan last failure in the Champions League to date - the winning streak started in the home match against Brugge (3:1). Having sensationally beaten Real Madrid 3:1 away in the fourth round, the Rossoneri left no chance for either Slovan (3:2) or Crvena Zvezda (2:1). With 12 points, Sergio Conceição team is in 12th place in the table and is only one point behind eighth-placed Lille.
In Serie A, the situation is much more complicated. With the arrival of Sergio Conceição, Milan won the Italian Super Cup, but failed to build on their success in the championship. Under the new coach, Milan drew 1:1 with Cagliari, barely snatched a 2:1 victory over Como, and in the last round, lost 0:2 to Juventus. For now, the Rossoneri are only eighth in the table.
Disqualifications and injuries
Tomori is disqualified. Florenzi, Loftus-Cheek, Okafor and Chukwueze are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Milan have suffered only one defeat in their last nine matches.
- Milan have scored in six of their last seven matches
- Milan have conceded in their last six matches
Probable line-up: Maignan - Emerson, Gabbia, Pavlovic, Hernandez - Bennacer, Fofana, Reynders - Musa, Abraham, Leao.
Girona
SpainCurrent form
Girona, after their outstanding success last season, lost several important players in the summer and were unlikely to have the opportunity to set themselves the task of reaching the top eight in the Champions League, but Michel team certainly counted on a ticket to the playoffs. Girona started with a 0:1 away defeat to PSG, and then lost 2:3 to Feyenoord, seriously complicating their task.
Girona got their first, and not to this day the only, victory in the third round, easily beating Slovan on their home field with a score of 2:0. After that followed three defeats in a row from PSV (0:4), Sturm (0:1) and Liverpool (0:1), which practically put an end to the chances of getting into the playoffs. For now, the white-reds are 30th in the table and five points behind 24th Zagreb Dinamo.
In the Spanish championship, Girona has not had stunning success this season, but at the same time it has not fallen below its level, currently occupying eighth place in the table. The white-reds are two points behind the Eurocup zone and can still fight for the Europa League, but the competition is off the charts and the second round will have to be much more stable.
Disqualifications and injuries
Miovski is injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Girona have lost five of their six Champions League matches
- Girona have suffered three defeats in their last six matches in all competitions
- Girona have scored in three of their last four matches
Estimated line-up: Gassaniga – Martinez, Lopez, Krejci, Blind – Martin, Herrera – Tsygankov, Asprilla, Gil – Ruiz.

Milan is undoubtedly the favorite of the match, despite all their problems. In terms of player selection, the Rossoneri have a significant advantage, in terms of experience at the international level, there is no point in even comparing the opponents, largely due to its lack, the white-reds failed in the current Champions League. Milan is trying to get into the top eight and today will play only to win - it is unlikely that Girona, in its current state, will be able to stop the hosts.

Bet on total
Milan, without a doubt, will be maximally motivated today and no other result than victory will satisfy the hosts. It is obvious that from the first minutes the Rossoneri will go forward in large numbers and will certainly create problems for the opponent not very stable defense in the first half. However, the hosts have been making a lot of scoring mistakes lately, Girona is distinguished by excellent implementation, the guests have nothing to lose, it makes sense to count on an exchange of goals in such a match.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered with odds of 1.85
Combined rate
Milan needs to win today and count on the mistakes of their competitors – only in this case will they have a chance to finish in the top eight. The task for the Rossoneri is not the most difficult, Girona has problems with stability this season and is inferior in class, the white-reds have lost five out of six Champions League matches, even managing to lose to Sturm. At the same time, the visitors can afford to play openly, they have nothing to lose, it will be difficult for Milan to win without scoring.
The bet is Milan win and both teams will score. This bet is offered for 3.15
