Tuesday night features a matchup of great Champions League pedigree. It brings together two sides that have won the tournament more times than any other. Real Madrid have nine Champion League trophies and AC Milan have seven. Each squad is loaded with talent and there is no bad blood between the clubs.
We should see a closely contested match so the best bet is the under 2.5 goals market. The clubs have each played nine competitive matches. Real have let in three goals in that span, two of which came during garbage minutes to Deportivo and Malaga when the match was already won. Milan have surrendered six goals but they’re on the rise. Though the total is where you want to concentrate your sports betting in this one, Milan is worth a bet for a goal or two.
Real have lost five of the last six matches against Italian opponents in the Champions League. In 13 fixtures against each other, Milan have won six, Real have won two and two games resulted in draws. In the last six home meetings with Milan, Real have won four and drawn one. However, Milan won 3-2 last year in the group stages.
While boss of Inter Milan, Jose Mourinho had three wins and one loss against AC Milan. There has been no problem getting looks on goal for Real. They have fired 46 attempts so far on the season, which is more than any other club. Look for Xabi Alonso and Sami Khedira to be put in as defensive midfielders for Real to mix things up. Thiago Silva has an ankle injury so Milan may go with five defenders. Their top scorer is Zlatan Ibrahimovic with three goals in the Championship League.
