AC Milan vs. Chelsea Betting Preview
AC Milan
AC Milan have had a mixed bag of results at the start of this Champions League campaign. The Italian champions have won one, drawn one, and lost one of three.
Milan picked up a 1-1 away draw at Red Bull Salzburg on the opening night before easing past Dinamo Zagreb in game two. However, they were poor in London last week, falling to a heavy 3-0 reverse at Stamford Bridge.
Group E
With things so tight in the Champions League standings in Group E, Rossoneri will still fancy their chances of finishing in the top two and booking their spot in the next round.
Salzburg are top on five points, with Milan and Chelsea both on four – bottom side Zagreb are only two points off the leaders.
Serie A Standings
Milan are the champions of Italy – winning the title last season for the first time in over a decade – but sit fourth in the current Serie A standings.
Napoli are the leaders with 23 points to their name, with Atalanta in second and Udinese in third. Stefano Pioli’s troops have won six, drawn two, and lost one of their opening nine Serie A matches.
After last weekend’s poor showing in west London, Milan will be eager to get back to winning ways here. They may be the second favorites on home turf, but Pioli and his side will back themselves to get the job done in the San Siro.
Chelsea
We are only in early October, but Chelsea have already had a turbulent 2022-23 season. Thomas Tuchel was surprisingly sacked after the Blues lost in Zagreb on matchday one in the Champions League.
During his tenure, Tuchel guided the Londoners to the Champions League trophy and became FIFA Club World Cup winners.
Graham Potter, who did a superb job with Brighton & Hove Albion, was given the vacant position at Stamford Bridge.
Home Draw
In his opening game as Chelsea boss, the Blues could only manage a 1-1 Champions League home draw with Salzburg. However, Potter’s men have won three on the bounce since then.
Chelsea scored late to edge past Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in Potter’s first league game in charge. The London side followed that up with an impressive win over Milan in Europe.
Then last weekend, Chelsea eased past Bruno Lage’s Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League, with Kai Havertz, Christian Pulisic, and Armando Broja on target in the 3-0 home romp.
Chelsea at Good Position
Last week’s victory over Milan has put Chelsea in a good position to get out of the group. They still have a lot of work to do, but the Blues will be the favorites to win Group E and book their place in the knockout stages.
After this, they travel to Salzburg and host Dinamo in their final two group fixtures. Chelsea will be looking for nine points from a possible nine.
AC Milan vs. Chelsea Betting Analysis
AC Milan started well at Stamford Bridge last Wednesday, but the first goal in that one was always going to be massive. The Blues opened the scoring thanks to Wesley Fofana’s effort.
After that, Potter’s boys dominated and could have won by more than three goals. The prolific Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang doubled the home team’s advantage ten minutes after halftime, and Reece James put the icing on the cake with an emphatic drive just after the hour mark.
Who to Bet On?
Milan will be out for revenge in this one. The San Siro is a notoriously tough place to visit, and Rossoneri beat Juventus on home turf at the weekend.
However, Chelsea is in high spirits under new management, winning three on the spin and playing some sensational soccer of late. Our Milan vs Chelsea prediction is right below.
We can see this one being a tighter affair in Italy, but the outcome should be the same. Our Milan vs Chelsea prediction is the away win and both teams to score, which is available at the solid Champions League odds of +375.
UCL Pick: Chelsea (+375)
