AC Milan – Girona Predictions and Preview
- AC Milan is back in the UEFA Champions League, eager to overcome the disappointment of a 2-0 league defeat away to Juventus last weekend. This defeat ended their run of eight competitive games without a loss (5 wins, 3 draws). However, under Sérgio Conceição, who will lead the team for the first time in the competition, Milan should be confident of bouncing back and claiming what would be their fifth consecutive UCL victory.
- In addition to picking up three key points in the race for automatic last-16 qualification, Milan will be hoping to repeat the two previous occasions when they won five straight UCL games. Both seasons, they went on to reach the competition’s final. While there is still a long way to go to replicate that feat, the Serie A outfit comes into this encounter having won each of their past two games against La Liga sides.
- Girona, on the other hand, also travel on the back of a domestic defeat, losing 2-1 at home to Sevilla. This makes it just two victories in nine competitive games for the Spanish outfit (D1, L6). They now face a battle to secure more continental football next season, finishing the last La Liga round eighth in the table. They’re also five points behind the 24 UCL knockout places coming into the round, meaning it’s likely to be pride to play for in these final two rounds.
- The issues for Girona in Europe’s top-tier competition are highlighted by the fact that they’ve lost each of their last three UCL games without scoring a single goal. Another such outcome here would make them the first side to lose their first four such games without scoring since SK Rapid Wien between 1996 and 2005.
- Players to watch:
- * Milan’s Tammy Abraham scored in each of his last two UCL appearances for Milan. He could become only the second Englishman to score in three consecutive games for a non-English club after Jude Bellingham.
* Defender Arnau Martinez has endured a forgettable UCL campaign, not featuring in either of Girona’s past two European matches after a red card against Sturm Graz in November. However, he will hope to fix that here with the confidence behind him of two goal contributions (G1, A1) in three La Liga matches. - Hot stat: None of the last three Milan bosses have won their opening UCL game in charge of the club.
