Team News

AC Milan

AC Milan had a shaky start to their UCL campaign this season, but they have bounced back smoothly with three back-to-back wins. The Rossoneri clinched all nine points against Club Brugge and Slovan Bratislava and recorded a historic 3-1 victory over Real Madrid and the Bernabeu. Milan have already witnessed bright hopes for their knock-out qualification and they will put their all on the field to keep their match-winning streak in UCL intact.

However, AC Milan suffered a discouraging 1-2 defeat against Serie A leaders Atalanta in their last outing, and they are currently struggling in the league. Milan have accumulated 22 points in 14 matches so far, currently standing at the 7th position. Although the Italian side is currently positioned 17th in the UCL 2024-25 league table, having bagged 9 points in 5 matches.

Coach Paulo Fonseca has brought some fresh air to the Milan club after their emphatic three wins in the UCL, but he must assemble a squad without some players who are suffering from injuries. One of the most crucial players for Milan this season, Christian Pulisic will miss the game due to a calf muscle injury. Alessandro Florenzi, Ismael Bennacer, and Noah Okafor will also be sidelined.

AC Milan, who are automatically the favourites tonight. will leave no stone unturned for a win at their home ground to elevate their chances of qualifying for the UCL knock-outs.

Crvena Zvezda

Crvena Zvezda managed their first UCL win of the season only in their last UCL outing against VfB Stuttgart as they registered a huge 5-1 win. The Serbian side will not be short of higher aspirations before taking on AC Milan in an away game for them, as they have won all of their last five games across all competitions.

The Red-Whites are in scorching form in the Serbian League this season, having already won 16 out of their 17 games in the Serbian SuperLiga. They have scored a mammoth 55 goals as well in the league so far. However, they have lost their first four UCL games this season and are currently positioned 31st in the UCL table, having earned 3 points in 5 matches so far.

Head coach Vladan Milojević will have to field a strong starting eleven to take on the Milan side with first-team goalkeeper Omri Glazer and forward Peter Olayinka being sidelined.

Zvezda has a slight chance of qualifying for the knock-outs, and that too depends on different factors. However, they must replicate their sublime performance against VfB Stuttgart to take a point away from San Siro tonight.
