AC Milan vs Atletico Madrid Predictions

• AC Milan have kept clean sheets in two of their three home Serie A games this season.
• Atletico Madrid have failed to score in three of their last four matches.
• The only team the Spanish champions have scored against in their last four games (Getafe) currently sits at the bottom of the Primera Division on zero points from seven matches.

Milan have momentum to shut Spanish champions out

AC Milan are a confident side at the moment and will be very tough opponents for Atletico Madrid to deal with at the San Siro Stadium this week.

Stefano Pioli’s men gave Liverpool a fright at their fortress Anfield earlier this month, going down 3-2, since when they have picked up seven Serie A points from a possible nine and conceded only twice.

Although the Rossoneri have eye-catching players further up the pitch, it’s the solid-looking nature of the back four and keeper that give their attackers the platform to perform.

And Milan could have centre-back Simon Kjaer back in time to face an Atletico Madrid side that seem to lack belief in front of goal right now.

Antoine Griezmann has failed to score in his four and a half outings and the supporting cast haven’t offered much to back up the contributions of evergreen performer Luis Suarez.

The only team the Spanish champions have scored against in their last four games currently sits at the bottom of the Primera Division on zero points from seven matches.

That’s hardly the form to take into a game of this magnitude, which could go a long way to deciding which of these makes it into the knockout stages.

We’re backing the Italians to shut out Atletico on Tuesday because of their strong spine and the visitors recent dry spell with it our belief that Milan can clinch a 2-0 victory that would be in line with three of their last four Serie A wins.
