AC Milan Feyenoord Preview

Trailing 1-0 after the first leg, Italian giants AC Milan host Feyenoord in the second leg of their Champions League play-off on Tuesday, and we’ve got the latest team news and confirmed lineups included in our preview.

AC Milan vs Feyenoord Preview

Looking to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg, AC Milan welcome Eredivisie outfit Feyenoord to the San Siro for the second leg of their Champions League play-off tie on Tuesday evening.

Brazilian winger Igor Paixao scored the all-important goal for the hosts in Rotterdam last week, netting just three minutes into the match, taking his goal tally to eight for the campaign across all competitions.

Pascal Bosschaart’s side followed that up with a disappointing 0-0 draw against NAC Breda in the Dutch top-flight three days later, leaving them 14 points adrift of league leaders Ajax down in fourth place.

I Rossoneri, meanwhile, bounced back with a narrow 1-0 win over Verona, extending their unbeaten domestic run to five straight matches. Sergio Conceicao’s side are currently in seventh place in Serie A, 15 points behind leaders Napoli.

Despite their relatively poor league standing, Milan have recorded some impressive results in recent weeks, including a 3-1 win over Roma in the Coppa Italia quarter-final, a 1-1 draw against Inter in the Derby della Madonnina and, of course, they won lifted the Supercoppa Italiana title last month, beating Juventus and Inter on the way to the trophy.

As well, they added to their ranks in January by signing Santiago Gimenez from Feyenoord. The Mexican has totalled two goals and one assist in four matches since joining, and he’ll be looking to add to his tally when his former team come to visit. He can be backed at 4/5 with the UK’s best football betting sites to score at anytime during the second leg.

AC Milan Team News

The hosts are without Alessandro Florenzi (knee), Emerson Royal (calf) and Ruben Loftus-Cheek (muscular) due to their respective injury concerns, while Christian Pulisic is reportedly a minor doubt.

Elsewhere, they are able to welcome back USA international midfielder Yunus Musah, who missed out on the first leg in Rotterdam due to a one-match suspension.

Feyenoord Team News

As for De club aan de Maas, both Ayase Ueda (hamstring) and Quinten Timber (knee) were forced off through injury in the first leg, and the pair missed out on the draw against NEC Breda at the weekend.

They join Chris-Kevin Nadje (foot), Hwang In-beom (unspecified), Bart Nieuwkoop (unspecified), Ramiz Zerrouki (leg), Jordan Lotomba (leg), Justin Bijlow (knee) and Gernot Trauner (unspecified) on the sidelines.

Left-back Quilindschy Hartman is also ineligible to feature.

AC Milan vs Feyenoord Confirmed Lineups

AC Milan Lineup:

Maignan; Walker, Thiaw, Pavlovic, Hernandez; Musah, Reijnders; Pulisic, Felix, Leao; Gimenez

Feyenoord Lineup:

Wellenreuther; Read, Beelen, Hancko, Smal; Milambo, Moder, Bueno; Hadj Moussa, Redmond, Paixao

AC Milan vs Feyenoord Prediction

The best betting sites in the UK see AC Milan as clear 1/3 favourites to come out on top at the San Siro on Tuesday, while a draw is rated at around 4/1 and a Feyenoord victory is priced at around 7/1.

Despite a crucial victory for the Eredivisie side in the first leg, in which they rode their luck at times, we at SportsCasting are favouring the hosts to turn the tie around and expect them to advance to the last 16.

We believe that Feyenoord may struggle without captain Timber as well as Japanese forward Ueda, and we’re backing the likes of Rafael Leao, Joao Felix, Musah and Gimenez to take advantage by forcing a couple of goals.

Prediction: AC Milan 2-0 Feyenoord
