AC Milan vs. Liverpool; who could win Tuesday UEFA Champion’s League clash?

AC Milan would lock horns with Liverpool as hostility ensues at San Siro is one of the most highly anticipated fixtures in the midweek.

Both sides have met in the first leg with Liverpool triumphing 3-2 in the Anfield on that occasion. But with a different agenda in the mix for this clash, it promises to be an intriguing end to the match.

The Serie A giants AC Milan are in top form and playing at home, they would fancy their chances while they welcome the Reds on Tuesday.

Jurgen Klopp’s men have won five games in a row – thus maintaining a perfect (100%) record in the Champion’s League this term.

And they would not be resting on their oars ahead of this match amid the rivalry that resonates between both sides.

Liverpool would be in the driving seat ahead of this one after sealing the top spot and qualification to the next round with a home and away win over Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid.

But with AC Milan in need of the win to book their own place in the knock out stages, they would give Liverpool a tough challenge on Tuesday night.

And that’s what many viewers would be looking forward to in this fixture with the match drawing closer by the minutes.

With the quality on show for Milan more especially with Franck Kessie and Superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic likely to start, the sign is positive for Stefano Pioli’s men.

Liverpool’s success already in the group stages this season could see them rest players in order to freshen their squad ahead of more games in the days ahead. And, this could give Milan the leverage to come out on top at San Siro.

We may yet see the likes of Divock Origi and Takumi Minamino play from the start in the stead of Mo Salah and Diogo Jota.

While Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Milner will probably replace first-team stars needing rest like Thiago Alcantara and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

But remains to be seen if the Liverpool boss would aim to start Mo Salah and Sadio Mane in order to make it 6 wins out of six with another three points against Milan.

But with Rosseneri fired up for this one amid the presence of their talismanic forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic they could carry the day much as it’s a dead rubber game for Liverpool.
