Slovan Bratislava vs AC Milan Preview

  • Tournament: UEFA Champions League
  • Date: Tuesday, November 26
  • Kick-off Time: 05:45 PM GMT
  • Venue: Tehelné Pole, Bratislava, Slovakia. 

This game is probably another chance for the Italian giants and the second most successful team of the coveted UEFA Champions League to revamp further, after finally starting to get back into shape. A last placed Slovan Bratislava, who have lost all their games in the league phase, are set to host AC Milan for their fifth outing in the stage.

Slovan Bratislava have lost all their first four games and are probably the weakest side in this year’s Champions League. They have been trampled by Dinamo Zagreb, Girona CF, Manchester City, and Celtic FC in the past. The side surely hails minimal hopes of entering the top 24, but can surely give a fight here to show why they reached European club football’s cream in the first place.

AC Milan are slowly getting back in form. They recently drew a goalless outing against Juventus in the Serie A, and have won against defending champions Real Madrid CF at the Santiago Bernabeu. They have also won against Club Brugge in the game prior, and are all looking to dominate this one, with hope of entering the top eight soon.

Key Players to Watch in Slovan Bratislava vs AC Milan

Jurij Medvedev (Slovan Bratislava)

The new arrival from Russian second tier club FC Sochi hasn’t yet played a game in the UEFA Champions League league phase but is a regular in the domestic league. Seeing the side’s disastrous performance, the manager might start him to experience as a side-back. Once on-field, he needs to block well the world-class wingers of AC Milan, and especially Rafael Leao.

Álvaro Morata (AC Milan)

The No. 7 did score a goal against the mighty Real Madrid, but we are yet to see a performance of his standards this season. Being a seasoned forward, regular goals are expected from him, but that has been majorly missing.

Morata needs to find good rhythm and score, in Serie A, he last scored a goal in September. Against a team with such weak defense, Morata can finally find an opportunity to boost his morale. He should eye a brace here if not a hat trick.  

Slovan Bratislava vs AC Milan Prediction

AC Milan are expected to have an easy victory in this game, as they have a far advanced squad, which is superior in both skills and exposure. AC Milan should be dominating this game, as they are expected to treat this one as an opportunity to cover up the recent disappointments in the present league phase. Slovan Bratislava looks like one of the weakest sides in the Champions League, so they are speculated to not stand for long against AC Milan. However, they can strike a goal on the counter given AC Milan’s leaky defense.

Predicted Score: Slovan Bratislava 1-6 AC Milan
