THE PREDICTION
Every point will matter in what is a hugely competitive Group B so it feels like there is plenty riding on this clash despite it only being the second round of games. As is Atletico’s want, they will look to keep things tight here, just as they did in their goalless draw with Porto on Matchday 1, and an AC Milan side still missing Zlatan Ibrahimovic may find them tough to break down, just like many teams before them. The Italian side have been going along nicely this season and are capable of winning this but it is simply too difficult to call a winner between these two European heavyweights. A draw would certainly not be a surprising outcome, while under 2.5 goals has a solid chance of coming in.
TIP: UNDER 2.5 GOALS
