AC Milan take on the visitors Chelsea in the round 4 match of UEFA Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Tuesday, October 11th at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) (Milan).
Milan are facing a difficult task this season. More precisely, even several: to protect the Scudetto in Serie A and to make progress in the Champions League. Returning to the latter last year turned out to be a failure. There, the Italians finished below not only Liverpool and Atlético, but also Porto. Now the list of opponents in the quartet is objectively simpler. But the results of the wards of Stefano Pioli are far from optimal. It all started with a draw in Salzburg against Red Bull. Then the Rossoneri finally won - 3-1 with Dinamo Zagreb. But in London last Wednesday, the Italians did not succeed at all. There they lost 0-3. And now rolled back to 3rd place in the group. But there will be 2 home matches, and, of course, you need to win them to go to the playoffs.

Chelsea begin to receive the first benefit from the change of mentor. After all, the new owners kicked Thomas Tuchel out after 0-1 in Zagreb, within the framework of the Champions League. And the new mentor, Potter, began by drawing a match against Red Bull at home. But then Graham had the opportunity to settle in a new place during the pause for the games of the national teams. It is unlikely that, as Brighton manager, he particularly delved into the problems of the Blues. In October, his new wards began to win. At first there was an extremely difficult victory in the Premier League over Crystal Palace. Only in the 90th minute Gallagher secured the final 2-1. But with the Italians it turned out to bring to defeat. Somehow, Milan looked quite indistinctly at Stamford Bridge. The defense played especially poorly during the 1st goal, when Fofana got his bearings in the hustle and bustle after a free kick and scored the debut goal for the new club. And in the end, James became the hero, who, after a break in the interval of 5 minutes, first assisted Aubameyang, and then sealed the final 3-0.
Before the current back-to-back matchups, clubs played at the official level only in 1999. Then both head-to-head between them ended in draws. Bookmakers do not believe that Milan will take revenge even at home. But Chelsea should not be overestimated either - a bet that the hosts will not lose on Tuesday looks like a passing option.
Prediction for the match: AC Milan to win with +0.5 handicap (1X).
