Tottenham vs. AC Milan: Preview and betting tips

Wednesday’s Champions League programme will be very rich. In addition to Bayern Munich’s clash with PSG, Tottenham will challenge the previously very successful AC Milan, with the visitors having a one-goal lead. What to expect from Wednesday’s duel?

Tottenham messed up a decent week of form, after dropping out of the FA Cup and falling in the league at Wolves. They remain fourth in the table, but only three points ahead of Liverpool, who have an extra game in hand.

Milan did not prepare well for one of their games of the season either, falling 1:2 to Fiorentina. Nevertheless, they can stay calm, from fifth place they are only three points behind second-placed Inter in a balanced Serie A.

Tottenham’s key figures

The home side traditionally rely on captain Harry Kane, the England international has netted 20 goals and assisted 4 times. Danish worker Pierre Emile Hojbjerg has been unusually productive from midfield, scoring 5 times this season and also assisting 5 times.

Key AC figures

Left back Theo Hernandez has the numbers again in the away camp, the French international has scored 3 times and assisted on 5 goals. Portuguese winger and last season’s Serie A top scorer Rafael Leao struck 9 times and assisted 10 times.

Prediction

Tottenham are not doing too well going forward, scoring more than once in only 2 of their last 7 games. Moreover, with 36 goals conceded, it has the worst defence of the first half of the league table.

AC, on the other hand, relies on a goal scoring attack. With 42 goals scored, it has the third best offense in Serie A, bettered only by Napoli and Inter. Moreover, Milan have also worked on their defensive performance, scoring more than once in only one of their last six games.

Considering Tottenham’s spread after two losses in a row, the improved form of AC’s defence and the Italian side’s lead, I expect the visitors to get a result in London that will ensure their progression.
