For the first time after their El Clasico thrashing by Barcelona, Real Madrid are set to return to action. The European champions will host AC Milan in a Match Day 4 Champions League encounter. These two are the most successful teams in the competition which makes this a ‘must-watch’ game. Read on for our prediction.
On Match Day 3, Real Madrid put in an attacking masterclass to rise from 2-0 and beat Borussia Dortmund 5-2 at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The Spanish giants would, however, fail to replicate the same as they were next blanked 4-0 by Barcelona in La Liga. From the opening three matches Real have six points.
Milan are further back in the Champions League standings, with three points from three matches. It could get worse for the Italian giants if they do not perform here. Milan warmed up for this match with a 1-0 win against Monza in the Serie A.
That was their third win in four matches and they’ll feel positive coming into this tough fixture. After losses in the opening two Champions league encounters, Milan finally rose to the occasion on Match Day 3.
They trounced Club Brugge 3-1 and will be looking to extend the same against Real Madrid.
Real Madrid have a dominant run against Italian clubs, especially when they visit the Santiago Bernabeu. They will be keen to add AC Milan as a stat in their list. The two giants’ first meeting in14 years finds Real Madrid in great shape and the Spaniards are clear favorites.
However, Real haven't done well on the defensive front and could do with some improvement. Milan have a good scoring run and will want to project the same on Real. Our prediction Real Madrid v AC Milan is for Real Madrid to win and both teams to score.
