Slovan Bratislava v AC Milan

Following their impressive and merited win over Real Madrid, Milan are on the road again, this time against Slovan Bratislava in Slovakia.

The hosts are comfortably top of the Slovak Super Liga but have struggled in Europe and are yet to pick up a point. Milan will see this as an opportunity to get three more points on the board and all but secure progression to the next stage.

⭐ Slovan Bratislava v AC Milan Best Bets

Slovan Bratislava have endured a poor start to their Champions League campaign, sitting right at the bottom of the table. They have conceded 15 goals while scoring only twice, losing each of their four matches by at least two goals. Three of those games came against Celtic, Girona, and Dinamo Zagreb, each of whom you’d expect to be inferior to the Italian giants.

Milan, meanwhile, have gained momentum with two consecutive European wins by a two-goal margin, including an impressive victory over Real Madrid. However, earlier losses to Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen leave them needing a decisive result to secure seeded qualification. As a result, Paulo Fonseca is likely to field a strong lineup despite this clash being perceived as fairly straightforward.

🔍 Slovan Bratislava v AC Milan Players to Watch

🔴 Rafael Leao

Among Rossoneri players, only Tammy Abraham surpasses Leao’s Serie A average of 1.70 shots on target per 90 minutes.

He has managed to test the goalkeeper at least twice in half of his domestic starts so far and will likely seize the chance to exploit a weaker defensive opponent. Notably, this selection also hit in his most recent Champions League start against Real Madrid.

Milan should breeze past Slovan Bratislava who’ve averaged 8.75 shots on target conceded per 90 during the competition so far.

🔴 Christian Pulisic

With an average of 0.84 goal contributions per 90 minutes, Pulisic boasts the highest rate among Milan players.

The US international has delivered a goal or assist in seven of his ten Serie A starts this season, as well as in three of his four Champions League appearances, most recently setting up Malick Thiaw’s goal against Real Madrid from a corner.

Considering the hosts are conceding an average of 3.75 goals per game in the Champions League, Pulisic is well positioned to add to his tally with at least one goal contribution.

💻 Slovan Bratislava v AC Milan Form and Tactics

Slovan Bratislava typically deploy a 4-2-3-1 formation aiming to dominate possession and control games, pressing high to win the ball back after losing it.

Despite getting hammered 4-1 when hosting Dinamo Zagreb last time out, Slovan Bratislava retained 60% of the ball, although they’re likely to have to adapt tactically if they hope to compete in this affair.

Instead, the hosts are likely to rely on counter-attacks and transitions for their chances, as they did against Girona and Man City in the previous two gameweeks.

Milan, on the other hand, are expected to enjoy the lion’s share of possession whereas their test will be breaking the hosts down.

They’ll aim to do this using Fonseca’s methodological, patient buildup play and this will mostly occur in the central areas of the pitch.

Consequently, that’s probably where this clash will be decided and if Milan are able to assert their superiority in the midfield, they could put a few past the Slovakian league leaders.
