The old rivals reunite again as AC Milan and Liverpool lock horns in the first game of the league phase of the new Champions League edition.
The creators of a magnificent Istanbul miracle in 2005 are set to renew their rivalry under much different circumstances.
AC Milan have finally managed to grab their maiden win of the season at the weekend, beating Venezia 4-0 in front of the home crowd.
Theo Hernandez, Youssouf Fofana, Christian Pulisic, and Rafael Leao were all on target within the inaugural half an hour of the weekend’s affair at Stadio San Siro.
Such a dominant performance will certainly serve as a major confidence boost for the Rossoneri who had earlier failed to claim more than two points in the maiden three rounds of Serie A.
Liverpool will enter the tie in different spirits after a shocking home loss to Nottingham Forest.
In contrary, the Reds have won their first three Premier League matches without conceding a single goal in the process. They did not look like themselves on Saturday afternoon against Forest, though, producing a lethargic attacking showing at the Anfield.
AC Milan vs Liverpool Prediction
Liverpool were fairly dominant against Italian opposition in recent years but we must recall their surprising elimination at the hands of Atalanta in the previous term of the UEFA Europa League.
The Reds also must be shaken after a tough home defeat at the hands of Nottingham Forest at the weekend.
More so than the loss itself, it was the team’s clueless attacking performance that worries the Anfield faithful ahead of such a tough trip and the game against Italian heavyweights.
To make things much worse for Liverpool, AC Milan have just now managed to boost the confidence after a slow start to the campaign, putting four unanswered goals past Venezia on Saturday evening.
