THE PREDICTION

This is a huge game in the context of qualification as both sides find themselves out of the top two at present, with AC Milan in particular desperately needing a win given that they sit on just one point and have to face Liverpool on the final matchday. Having Zlatan Ibrahimovic back fit and firing is a boost but, as shown by their 4-3 defeat to Fiorentina over the weekend, question marks remain over their defensive solidity. You could also argue that Atletico are not as rock-solid as they once were, so with plenty at stake here, there could be some decent value in backing both teams to score.
