UEFA Champions League Prediction: AC Milan – Liverpool (17-09-2024)
The UEFA Champions League starts on 17 September, and this season marks the start of a new phase with a format change. In addition to watching more top-level matches, viewers can place lucrative bets at football betting companies.
The new format introduces a lot more confusion; teams will no longer be able to reserve, as one match can make a big difference to the current situation. Two legendary clubs meet in the season’s debut match – AC Milan vs Liverpool.
⚽ Match prediction: Liverpool win @ 1.85 |
While it used to be that teams would meet twice each in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League, and the key was not to lose, to pick up one point, and to settle things at home, this time, the situation is completely different.
The teams meet once in the regular season, so the approach to the game changes a lot, especially on the away side. Every match is worth its weight in gold, and a successful start to the season will make it easier to control the situation later on.
Liverpool has welcomed a new coach in, Arne Slot. The club made almost no changes in the summer, with the last-minute signings of Giorgi Mamardashvili and Federico Chiesa. However, as we can see in the Premier League, it worked out for the best.
The club started the season with three victories, scoring 7 goals and conceding none. The most impressive victory was the last one, a 3-0 win over Manchester United.
The Milan club started the season with high ambitions, but after the first three games, the situation became very complicated. They have twice drawn 2-2 and once lost 2-1 to Parma.
The defensive problems are severe, and the upcoming opponent will bring the best attack seen so far this season. If Lazio, Torino, and Parma managed to score two goals each, Liverpool could score even more.
The poor start to the season from AC Milan suggests we can see many goals, and a 3-1 Liverpool win would not be a surprise.
