AC Milan hosts Manchester United in the second leg of the Europa League 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Thursday, March 18th at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) (Milan)
The first match between Manchester United and Milan ended in a 1:1 draw. The game was played with a variable advantage. First, the Red-Blacks seized the initiative. They even scored a goal, but the referee canceled it due to a handball. Then the game leveled off, and Manchester United managed to take the lead. The debut goal for the club was scored by 18-year-old striker Amad Diallo. The Red Devils tried to maintain the advantage by giving the ball to the opponent. And the Italians attacked regularly and achieved their goal in added time. The fifth shot on target brought profit. Kjaer turned it home with a header after Krunic's pass. Thus, the fate of a ticket to the quarterfinals of the second most prestigious European club tournament will be determined in the return game at San Siro.

It is important to note the possible lineups for the upcoming meeting. Milan has as many as seven players under a big question. Among them, six are key performers. Ibrahimovic has just recovered after an injury, so Stefano Pioli will probably have to rely on the young players at the helm. As for Manchester United, the team has a similar situation. Phil Jones is out of the team's roster, so he won't play for sure. Seven other players are in question. Martial, Rashford, Cavani, and De Gea are extremely important players for Manchester United, so the coaching staff hopes that at least some of them will be able to take part in the upcoming match.
One way or another, the lineups will be far from optimal, so we are unlikely to see bright football that will lead to goal extravaganza. Both the hosts and the visitors cannot count on a range of attacking players. With this in mind, we will recommend betting on a small number of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals scored
