AC Milan vs Tottenham preview and Prediction

Match preview

Tuesday marks the start of the Champions League knockout phase, with AC Milan hosting Tottenham Hotspur for the first leg of their last-16 match.

Milan picked up where they left off with a tight victory against Torino on Friday, while the guests must bounce back after being destroyed 4-1 by Leicester City the previous weekend.

After suffering through a terrible seven-game losing streak, which includes losses to their fierce rivals Inter in both the league and the Italian Super Cup, AC Milan knew that only victory would do against Torino in Friday’s Serie A match.

In the group stages, Tottenham Hotspur came out on top of Group D, but they have been inconsistent overall. The North London team will need to win this game after suffering a discouraging 4-1 loss at the hands of Leicester City over the weekend.

In the Serie A standings, AC Milan is now in fifth place and has gone through a startling collapse recently. In their previous game, the Rossoneri did manage to overcome Torino 1-0, and they have something to show this week.

Tottenham Hotspur are in desperate need of a comeback after being humiliated by a motivated Leicester City team in their previous game. Son Heung-Min and Dejan Kulusevski, for example, have recently played deceptively and will need to elevate their game in this match.

While AC Milan has its moments, they currently have a number of problems that need to be resolved. Since both teams are currently level, a draw in this game is possible.
