AC Milan vs PSG Prediction and Match Preview
Stadio San Siro will take the spotlight as Milan and PSG collide in an eagerly awaited Champions League clash.
The Rossoneri are determined to secure their first group-stage victory, and we anticipate a fierce battle against les Parisiens.
Unfortunately, Christian Pulisic has joined the ranks of Bennacer, Caldara, Kalulu, and Chukwueze in the treatment room, while towering Danish defender Simon Kjaer is in significant doubt.
On the other side, the Parisians are aiming for their sixth consecutive win in all competitions. The French powerhouse is focused on solidifying their top spot in Group F.
Considering Milan’s subpar performance in a 1-0 loss to Udinese, we believe there’s significant value in betting on Luis Enrique’s team. The visiting side will be without Marco Asensio, Nuno Mendes, Keylor Navas, Danilo Pereira, and Sergio Rico due to injuries.
Team News:
Milan’s dip in form has coincided with a sizable injury list. Defender Pierre Kalulu will be sidelined for four months following a tendon injury operation, while fellow center-back Simon Kjaer missed the Udinese match with a muscle issue.
In addition to these setbacks, Marco Pellegrino (heel), Marco Sportiello (calf), Ismael Bennacer (knee), and Mattia Caldara (ankle) are unavailable for the beleaguered Rossoneri. They also had to do without Theo Hernandez at the weekend due to an ankle bruise.
Manager Pioli is optimistic that Hernandez will recover in time for Tuesday’s contest, and Samuel Chukwueze and Christian Pulisic could make their comebacks following precautionary rests over the weekend.
PSG also suffered a fresh blow to their defense before facing Montpellier, as Danilo Pereira sustained a hamstring injury, which will keep the versatile Portuguese out until the conclusion of November’s international break.
Nuno Mendes (hamstring), Sergio Rico (head trauma), and Presnel Kimpembe (Achilles) are not ready to make their returns, and Marco Asensio’s foot injury and Keylor Navas’s back issue will keep both players unavailable for the time being.
Nordi Mukiele was a surprising choice at left-back in the previous match, but Lucas Hernandez is expected to return to an otherwise unchanged starting XI, setting the stage for a potential reunion with his brother, who dons the Rossoneri colors.
