UEFA Champions League
(224217) Liverpool at (224218) AC Milan
Champions League season gets underway as Liverpool hit the road to Milan eager to put their rare home loss last weekend behind them. Nottingham came into Anfield and won 1-0 which was Liverpool's first conceded goal this year after keeping three clean sheets to open their EPL season. Defensively, this team is as good as it gets and I expect them to take a very cautious defensive-minded approach to this match. In doing so, they generally only need a goal or two to walk away with a win and a big reason I like this to stay Under.
If we look at Milan's results this year, they have been disappointing to say the least. They failed to win their first three Serie A matches against Torino, Parma and Lazio with all three coming in high-scoring fashion. Milan were favorites in all three matches and controlled the lion share of possession, as they did this past weekend, their first win in blowout fashion over a much weaker Venezia side. They will certainly not be able to bully this Liverpool team in any similar fashion.
Knowing that, I too expect Milan to setup in a defensive way as their best chance to walk away with points here.
