AC Milan vs Slavia Prague: Europa League preview and betting tips

Slavia have the opening match of the Europa League round of 16 ahead of them. They will challenge AC Milan at the San Siro, who are the big favourites at home. The match will be played on 7 March at 9pm CET.

Where to watch AC Milan vs Slavia Prague?

AC Milan are in a similar situation to Slavia. It is currently looking at the back of its rival, although the loss to Inter is an abysmal 16 points, while Slavia is only four points behind Sparta. After the win at Lazio, Milan will want to succeed now too, especially at home in San Siro. The match is scheduled for March 7 at 9pm CET.

Is this a similar game to AS Roma?

Slavia played two matches against AS Roma in the autumn and managed to beat the Italian opponent at home. They will attempt something similar now, but AC Milan are in a much better frame of mind.

The goal for coach Jindřich Trpišovský’s squad must be a solid defence in Italy and a tactic adapted to the result for the rematch. However, the opponent’s offensive power is so high that it will be difficult to get any hopeful result at the San Siro.

AC Milan vs Slavia Prague odds

AC Milan are almost always the favourites at the San Siro. Especially against Slavia, and there is no need to spare the players when they play Empoli this weekend, who are fighting to stay in the first league. The odds on AC Milan are 1.56, while you can bet on Slavia at 7.13.

Betting Tip: AC Milan -1.5

It’s different for every fan in the European Cup. Some of them wish for Czech teams regardless of their colours, others can’t imagine wishing success to the team that regularly annoys them. Whichever group you belong to, you need to be realistic.

Slavia is a big underdog and hasn’t shown much footballing beauty in recent games. AC Milan, on the other hand, has such a strong attack that it will punish any defensive mistake, which the Sichians can make plenty of in matches.

That is why the betting tip is a handicap of -1.5 on AC Milan, which means that the Italian side must win by two goals. And this is not at all unrealistic in the home environment and the odds are, on the contrary, very tempting.
