Dinamo Zagreb v AC Milan: Group E - UEFA Champions League
AC Milan take on RB Salzburg this week

The UEFA Champions League is back in action with another round of matches this week as RB Salzburg lock horns with Stefano Pioli's AC Milan side in an important clash at the San Siro on Wednesday.


AC Milan vs RB Salzburg Preview

RB Salzburg are currently at the top of the Austrian Bundesliga standings and have been impressive on the domestic front. The away side edged Hartberg to an important 1-0 victory over the weekend and will need to work hard to achieve a similar result in this fixture.

AC Milan, on the other hand, are in third place in the Serie A table at the moment and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The Rossoneri slumped to a shock 2-1 defeat at the hands of Torino in their previous game and will need to bounce back this week.


AC Milan vs RB Salzburg Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

  • AC Milan have a good record against RB Salzburg and have won two of the three matches played between the two teams, with the other match ending in a draw.
  • After losing their first two matches against AC Milan in European competitions, RB Salzburg managed a hard-fought 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture in September this year.
  • RB Salzburg have played only one away game against AC Milan in European competitions - their previous trip to face the Rossoneri took place in 1994 and ended in a 3-0 defeat.
  • AC Milan have suffered defeat in only one of their last 12 matches against Austrian sides in European competitions and are unbeaten in their last eight such matches.

AC Milan vs RB Salzburg Prediction

AC Milan were surprisingly poor against Torino in their previous game and have a point to prove in this fixture. The likes of Olivier Giroud and Rafael Leao are highly effective on their day and will need to make their mark on Wednesday.

RB Salzburg can pack a punch on their day but have not been able to cope with their European opponents this season. AC Milan are the better team on paper and should be able to win this game.

Prediction: AC Milan 3-1 RB Salzburg
