Looking to make another Champions League statement on Tuesday night, PSG will travel to the San Siro when they meet AC Milan.

AC Milan

Starting with the hosts, while AC Milan might have come flying out of the traps when opening up the 2023/24 campaign, the Italian heavyweights have certainly come crashing back down to earth. Showing a string of issues since returning from October’s international break, Stefano Pioli’s side now face a real uphill battle in their bid to punch a Champions League knockout stage ticket. Failing to pick up any kind of momentum over the weekend as they slumped to a worrying 1-0 loss at the hands of Udinese, the Rossoneri have collected just a single point from any of their previous four appearances across all competitions. Likewise, blown away when they made the trip to Paris a fortnight ago as they were hit with a 3-0 drumming, AC Milan have also shown some extended issues in the final third. Aside from a 2-2 draw against defending Serie A champions Napoli on October 29th, Pioli’s men have drawn a blank in each of their other three outings.

Team News

Missing out over the weekend after sustaining a recent growing injury, AC Milan are once again sweating over the fitness for former Chelsea star Christian Pulisic here. Likewise, Pioli’s side have already confirmed that they will be unable to call upon the likes of Ismael Bennacer, Pierre Kalulu and Mattia Caldara.

While attacking talisman Rafael Leao might have failed to notch a single goal across any competition since back on September 23rd, the 24-year-old will spearhead Pioli’s charge on Tuesday night. The Portuguese forward will be joined in the final third by 37-year-old Olivier Giroud.

PSG

As for the visitors, while PSG might have opened the new campaign in the midst of a public struggle, Luis Enrique’s side have come roaring back in some style. Last seen over the weekend putting in another rampant performance as they cruised their way to a 3-0 romp at home against Montpellier, the former Barcelona boss should find the mood in his camp at a red-hot high. Laying down a major Champions League marker in Paris on October 25th as they claimed another 3-0 victory against Tuesday’s hosts, PSG have their sights set on mounting a genuine European charge this season. Winning each of their previous five appearances across all formats – a run that stems back to the start of October – the French heavyweights have also gained a fearsome reputation for their clinical performances in the final third. Including a 3-1 win away at Rennes last month, the midweek guests have notched a staggering 15 strikes on their six-match winning run.

Team News

Dealing with a long-term foot injury and not making a single appearance since the start of September, PSG will once again be unable to call upon former Real Madrid star Marco Asensio. Likewise, Enrique’s side will make the trip out to Milan on Tuesday night without the defensive duo of Nuno Mendes and Presnel Kimpembe.

Notching seven strikes in his previous six appearances across all formats, attacking icon Kylian Mbappe will spearhead PSG’s charge at the San Siro. Now finding the net in back-to-back domestic showdowns, 17-year-old sensation Warren Zaire-Emery will once again partner Manuel Ugarte in the heart of Enrique’s midfield.

Key Factors to Consider

• When the two sides met for their reverse Champions League showdown on October 25th, PSG cruised their way to a 3-0 romp.
• Likewise, the French heavyweights have won each of their previous five appearances across all formats.
• Enrique’s men have also notched 15 strikes on that six-match winning run.
• AC Milan have collected just a single point from any of their previous four appearances across all competitions.
• Tuesday’s hosts have also drawn a blank in three of their last four showdowns.

Conclusion

Enjoying what has quickly become a major purple patch and now winning each of their previous five appearances across all competitions, PSG will certainly be looking to make another Champions League statement here. Really finding a clinical edge in the final third and notching 15 strikes on their five-match winning run, Enrique’s men will be hoping to cash in on an AC Milan squad that are enduring a recent wobble. With PSG storming their way to a routine 3-0 romp when they welcomed Tuesday’s hosts to Paris on October 25th, we are backing an away draw no bet here.
