AC Milan vs Dinamo Zagreb Betting Pick – The Analysis
Milan was held to a 1-1 draw against RB Salzburg last week over in Austria, so the Italian side will look to target all three points at home here on Wednesday against a team who many considered the weakest side of the group heading into Group E this season.
AC Milan has faced Dinamo Zagreb twice in Champions League action prior, putting three goals past them on both occasions. But with that last meeting coming over 20 years ago now, it has little impact on what will happen in Wednesday’s game.
Zagreb Hoping For Eighth Time Lucky – Really Lucky
While Dinamo Zagreb have shortened in the markets considerably to progress from this group ever since last week’s surprising victory over Chelsea, it’ll still be a massive hurdle to clear nonetheless for a team who failed to get out of the group stage in seven previous attempts.
Even more concerning for Zagreb is their away form in Europe historically, going W1, D3, L17 on the road in Champions League since the beginning of the 1998-99 season.
AC Milan vs Dinamo Zagreb Prediction – Milan Continues To Run Hot
Aside from friendlies, it’s been 16-straight games now since AC Milan last tasted defeat, which was a 3-0 loss against inner-city rivals Inter in the Coppa Italia.
The current Serie A champions have started this year’s campaign in terrific fashion, equal on points with Napoli and Atalanta at the top of the table, and have yet to lose a game all season, including three straight wins now at home scoring an average of 3.0 goals per game, which is the league’s highest offensive return.
AC Milan vs Dinamo Zagreb Prediction & Betting Pick
There’s no question every team prior to kick-off circled Dinamo Zagreb as their strongest chance for claiming all three points in the group and with Chelsea slipping up badly last week, AC Milan will look to take full advantage here on Wednesday.
The Rossoneri have looked great at home all season, putting up the league’s best scoring offense inside the San Siro and all against some quality opposition as well, their 3-2 victory over rivals Inter 10 days ago a testament to that.
Dinamo Zagreb did well to get all three points last week against Chelsea, but going on the road to Italy in midweek, we believe they come up short in this one so we’re recommending a play on AC Milan -1.5 here on Wednesday to get the win and cover in the San Siro.
