AC Milan take on the visitors Shkendija at “San Siro” in the first-leg clash of the Qualification final round of the UEFA Europa League. The match will be played in Milan on Thursday, August 17th.
It was first time during five recent years that AC Milan were rather active at the transfer market, having spent substantial funds on engaging new performers. The Italian grand has tested already new-comers in action in the previous Eurocups round, having knocked out CS U. Craiova 2:0, 1:0. The football season has not started yet in Italy, thus, apart from the clashes mentioned above, Vincenzo Montella’s side conducted only four friendly encounters resulting in two victories and two losses.

Having taken silver medals of last season’s Macedonian First League, Shkendija have rested less than a month till the start of the UEFA Europa League. In a new season the team participated in seven games and won six of them, having knocked out Dacia Chisinau 3:0, 4:0, HJK 3:1, 1:1 and Trakai 1:2, 3:0 in the Eurocups plus gained 2:0 triumph over Vardar in the Macedonian elite division. Shkendija showed incredible results at the start of the season, still, the visitors are the humble performers comparing to the Italians.
The start of the football season in Italy comes closer, thus the stars from Milan should be in better competitive form than two weeks ago which means that they will tend to solve the issue of their promotion to the Group stage at the home turf. The sides’ level is incomparable and the hosts have great advantage which they should prove.
Prediction for the match: AC Milan to win with -1.5 Asian handicap.
