Milan vs Liverpool predictions

A Champions League clash between Milan and Liverpool inevitably stirs up memories of the Miracle of Istanbul, when the Reds came from 3-0 down at half-time to win the 2005 final on penalties.

Trendspotters may note that two of Milan's last five home matches in Serie A also ended 3-3 and Liverpool should be confident of punishing a generous Rossoneri defence.

Arne Slot made the perfect start to life at Anfield, overseeing 2-0 wins over Ipswich and Brentford in his first two Premier League matches before a 3-0 victory away to Manchester United.

Outclassing United at Old Trafford is a surefire way for a new Liverpool manager to endear himself to the fans but Slot suffered his first setback on Saturday in a 1-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest.

Liverpool dominated possession and hit the post through the in-form Luis Diaz but they were unable to break down a disciplined Forest defence and the visitors pinched the points thanks to a goal from substitute Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Having named the same starting 11 in Liverpool's last three games, Slot will need to shuffle his pack during a hectic spell of domestic and European fixtures.

He certainly has the depth of talent to do so as Darwin Nunez, Cody Gakpo, Conor Bradley and Curtis Jones came off the bench against Forest while Joe Gomez and Wataru Endo were unused subs.

Slot's men are odds-on to beat Milan at San Siro but it may be worth taking the bigger price about a Liverpool victory featuring over 2.5 goals.

Seven of Milan's last eight league matches have had at least four goals and they started the season with 2-2 draws against Torino and Lazio either side of a 2-1 defeat at Parma.

Saturday's 4-0 home win over promoted Venezia got their campaign on track but Paulo Fonseca's back four may struggle to record another clean sheet against Liverpool.

Milan right-back Emerson Royal was part of a Tottenham defence who conceded four times in less than an hour at Anfield in May and Milan shipped ten goals in their last four league games of 2023-24 and six in their first four this term.

Slot's Feyenoord side lost all three of their Champions League away matches last season, at Atletico Madrid, Lazio and Celtic, but his new charges, stung by Saturday's shock defeat, look set for a successful raid on San Siro.

Key stat

Seven of Milan's last eight Serie A matches have featured over 3.5 goals
