AC Milan hosts Atletico Madrid in round 2 of the Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Tuesday, September 28th at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) (Milan)
AC Milan showed a quite good start to the season in Serie A, winning five out of six matches and gaining one draw. Such results allow the team to take second place, and the Red-Blacks lag two points behind leading Napoli. In the Champions League, they started with an away defeat to Liverpool (3-2), although they even took the lead at the end of the first half. It will be difficult for Milan to progress from such a strong group, but the team is in good shape now, so anything is possible. In the last round of the championship, the club defeated Spezia away (1-2). A large number of personnel losses is confusing. As many as six players will not be able to take the field due to injuries, including such important players as Kjaer and Ibrahimovic.

Atletico Madrid does not change its style, showing a boring and pragmatic game. In the last round of LaLiga, the Mattress Makers suffered their first defeat in the current season, unexpectedly losing to Alaves away (1-0). At the moment, Diego Simeone's charges are in fourth place in the championship standings, lagging three points behind the leader. In the first round of the Champions League, the Mattress Makers could not beat Porto at home (0-0). Lemar will not be able to help his partners in the upcoming game due to an injury, and Savic is disqualified.
The clubs crossed paths only once, and it happened in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League in 2014. Then Atletico confidently won 1-0 away and 4-1 at home. There is practically no favorite in the upcoming game, although initially visitors were still given a slight advantage. Atlético Madrid is not in the best shape right now, so it will be very difficult to beat Milan, which can get on a roll easily. But we do not expect productive football, as the Mattress Makers will surely shut out. We consider a bet on Under 2.5 goals scored to be quite reliable.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
