For the first match of the round of 16 of the Champions League, Milan welcomes Tottenham at the San Siro. A replay will follow in London, the away goals rule does not apply.
Milan, in a group with rivals Chelsea, Dinamo Zagreb and Salzburg, may have started poorly and lost their hopes of a top spot early on but had no problem finishing in 2nd place and qualifying for the last 16 of the competition.
Her goal is to reach as far as possible, but it certainly seems unlikely that she will repeat the triumph like in 2007 in the final in Athens, where she overcame Liverpool and won the cup with the big ears.
In the Italian league started with dreams of retaining the sceptres, being last year's champions, but on the one hand the amazing course of Napoli and on the other hand the many losses of points in the resumption of the championship after the World Cup brought it to fight to enter the top four of the rating it gives participation in the next Champions League.
Friday returned to winning results after 4 matches, prevailed at the San Siro in Turin with 1-0 and after 22 matches is in 3rd place, together with Atalanta and Roma, with 41 points.
Tottenham, in a thriller group with rivals Eintracht, Sporting and Benfica, managed to qualify for the next phase of the competition with a victory in the last matchday in Marseille, finishing in first place. It is typical that at halftime when they were losing 1-0, they were out of European competitions, a sign of how fluid the score situation was.
They will be looking to surpass the competition against the giants, for a title they have never won more successfully than their participation in the grand final in 2019 when they lost to Liverpool 2-0.
At the same time, he is fighting a great battle in the Premier League for a ticket to the next Champions League, after 23 matches having a record of 12 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses is in 5st place with 39 points against 41 of 4th Newcastle and minus 5 of 3rd Manchester United.
In her last match at times it disappointed at Leicester headquarters, despite the fact that he took the lead early on experienced a 4-1 crash.
Ambiguous matchup between two similar teams, on the one hand they seem equivalent and on the other hand they have more or less the same competitive problems this season. Milan seem to have a slight edge of victory due to home and a heavier jersey but they neither have stability nor are Tottenham a negligible amount. Given the defensive problems of both, but their rich talent from the middle and forward, I think we will see an open match with many phases and goals. And where a goal for Milan first candidate Ollie Giroud!
Tip: Milan – Tottenham Over 2,5 goals & Over 9,5 corners & Giroud to score at 9.25
