Slovan Bratislava vs AC Milan Preview

Slovan Bratislava

Slovan Bratislava will hope to attempt the near-impossible when they take on AC Milan in a UEFA Champions League match at home on Tuesday, November 26. All odds point towards an away victory in this game, but the Belasí will want to put their foot down and showcase a steely performance of their own.

Apart from knocks to Kevin Wimmer and Adler Da Silva, they do not have any major injuries in their side, and this will allow them to field their best possible starting XI in this match. Slovan play with a unique 4-2-1-3 formation, in which two defensive midfielders operate in front of their four-man backline.

These midfielders, usually Mustafić and Ihnatenko, play pivotal roles in dictating the rhythm of play and creating passes from defence to attack. Their front line consists of three attackers, most of whom like to create space for themselves on the wing.

Space, however, will be at a premium for Slovan in this match against Milan given how tight the latter’s defence is. 

Slovan have lost all their matches in the Champions League so far, and languish right at the bottom of the combined standings with zero points.

AC Milan

For AC Milan, this match against Slovan Bratislava should be a breeze, but they will not make the mistake of taking their opponents for granted. Their own Champions League campaign has not quite taken off this season, as they rank 20th in the combined rankings with 6 points to their name.

Milan have won just two out of their last four matches in this competition, and will desperately seek a win against Slovan. 

However, manager Paulo Fonseca knows very well that Slovan are the most decorated team in Slovakia, having won the most number of league and cup titles in the country.

Milan will most probably shape up in a 4-2-3-1 formation in this game. A lot of responsibility will be upon the likes of Christian Pulisic, Rafael Leão to break the Slovan defence down.

Slovan Bratislava vs AC Milan Prediction

• Pick: AC Milan to win
• Odds: 1.19 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Slovan Bratislava 0-3 AC Milan

AC Milan are the clear favourites to win this match, and we expect them to do so quite comfortably. They are the better side on paper, and have constantly shown how good they can be in this tournament if they get the chance to keep the ball with them.

Milan will also take heart from the fact that in their last match in this tournament, they beat Real Madrid 3-1 away from home. This gives them the confidence to do well in this match as well.

They have also been unbeaten in their last three matches (two wins and one draw), which gives them the impetus to take all three points from this encounter. 

Slovan’s defence has looked lethargic in the Champions League this season as they have already conceded 15 goals. This game will be entirely in favour of Milan.

Slovan Bratislava vs AC Milan Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Total Over 2
• Odds: 1.10 (22Bet)

AC Milan’s strikers are among the best in Europe, and they can be expected to score two goals at the very least in this match.  Milan have the likes of Leão, Pulisic, and Luka Jović in their ranks. 

These players are known to be excellent sharpshooters and can quickly destroy their opponents. Therefore, we expect a total of over 2 goals in this match, most likely from Milan.

Slovan will have to be on the lookout, but their defenders may not be able to withstand the assault that is about to come their way.

Defenders Siemen Voet and Kenan Bajrić will have to take up the responsibility of preventing the Milan strikers from running amok, but this is much easier said than done. 

Milan have scored at least three goals in three out of their last five encounters, which gives us the confidence to say that they will net two at the very least in this match against Slovan.
