The UEFA Champions League is back in action this week with a second round of matches between RB Salzburg and AC Milan in a crucial matchup on Wednesday at the San Siro. In the Austrian Bundesliga, RB Salzburg is currently at the top of the standings and has been impressive at home. The away team edged Hartberg to a crucial 1-0 victory over the weekend, and they will have to put in a lot of effort in this game to get the same result.
On the other hand, AC Milan is currently in third place in the Serie A standings and has performed fairly well thus far this season. The Rossoneri will need to rebound this week after suffering a shocking 2-1 defeat to Torino in their previous match.
Prediction
In their previous match, AC Milan played surprisingly poorly against Torino, and they have a point to prove in this match. On their day, players like Olivier Giroud and Rafael Leao are extremely effective, and they will need to stand out on Wednesday. RB Salzburg is a team that can hit hard on their day, but they haven’t been able to handle their European rivals this season. On paper, AC Milan is the superior team, and they should be able to win this game.
