Following their humbling 4-0 defeat in El Clasico, Real Madrid is set to face AC Milan at the Bernabeu in a key Champions League matchup. With a postponed match against Valencia offering them additional recovery time, Los Blancos will be keen to assert their dominance once again on the European stage.
Real Madrid’s formidable home record in the Champions League is notable, having not lost in their last 15 fixtures, winning 12. However, their defensive issues have been exposed recently, with just one clean sheet in nine matches across all competitions and none in the Champions League this season.
AC Milan travels to Madrid with the hope of exploiting these defensive frailties. The Italian side has scored in 11 of their 13 matches this season, demonstrating consistent offensive performance. Yet, Milan’s European campaign has been shaky, with losses in two of their three group matches, including away at Bayer Leverkusen and at home against Liverpool.
Here are three fresh betting tips for the match:
- Real Madrid to Win by 2 Goals – Considering Real’s strong home performance and Milan’s struggles on the road, betting on a Real Madrid victory by a two-goal margin could offer value. Odds: 4.50.
- Both Teams to Score in the First Half – With both teams showing vulnerabilities at the back and strength in attack, a bet on both teams to score in the first half could capitalize on the initial push for dominance. Odds: 3.10.
- VinÃcius Júnior to Score Anytime – Real’s young Brazilian forward has been in electric form, and his pace and skill could be crucial in breaking down Milan’s defense. Odds: 2.20.
