Liverpool will host AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League group stage match at Anfield in Liverpool on 16th September 2021 at 00:30 IST. The odds are clearly in favor of Liverpool to win the match and carry their unbeaten streak forward. Milan on the other hand will also look for a great start to the tournament.

Teams Status

Liverpool

Liverpool are currently in the fifth position of the English Premier League points table with seven points from three matches. In the Champions League last season, they were knocked out of the quarterfinals by Real Madrid. They will be looking to better this result in the current season. Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota are the team’s leading goal scorers with two goals each. The Egyptian also has two assists to his name. The other two goals were scored by Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane. Roberto Firmino is likely to miss the Champions League clash due to a muscle injury. They should expect the likes of Alisson and Fabinho to come back to the squad after that drama in Brazil.

AC Milan

AC Milan have made it to the UEFA Champions League after seven years of absence courtesy of some brilliant performance last season. Last season they finished in the second position of the Serie A points table. They even made it to the round of 16 of the Europa League last season. Olivier Giroud has been the star for them this season as the former Chelsea striker has netted two goals so far in the season. It is highly likely that Olivier Giroud will miss the Champions League clash against Liverpool due to Covid 19. Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Franck Kessie are expected to be back from injury and should be able to start the next match against Liverpool.

Tipster’s Angle

An exciting contest is on the cards when these two teams face each other. Liverpool has dominated this fixture over the years as they have won three of the last four head to head matches against AC Milan. Similar to the last two head to head matches, this is also expected to be a low-scoring one.

Both Teams To Score – No @ 2.05

In the last 10 matches that AC Milan has played across competitions, they have kept a clean sheet in seven of those matches. And three of those seven matches ended in a goalless draw. Liverpool on the other hand have seen both teams not scoring in two of the last three matches that they have played. Both the last two head to head matches had both teams not scoring in them. In the last two head to head matches hosted by Liverpool, they have kept a clean sheet in both matches. So, it is likely that either team will keep a clean sheet and both teams will not score at 2.05 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Tip: Total Goals Under 2.5 @ 2.30

In the last 3 head to head matches, a total of 7 goals were scored at an average of 2.33 goals per match. Also, under 2.5 goals were scored in 2 of those matches. Apart from that, under 2.5 goals were scored in 2 of the last 2 head to head matches hosted by Liverpool. In the last 10 matches that Liverpool had played across all competitions, under 2.5 goals were scored in 7 of those matches. Also, under 2.5 goals were scored in 3 of the last 5 home matches that Liverpool has played. AC Milan have seen under 2.5 goals in 6 of the last 10 matches that they have played across competitions. Also, under 2.5 goals were scored in all the last 5 matches that AC Milan has played on the road. So it is likely that the total goals will be under 2.5 at 2.30 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Conclusion

This group can be named as a group of death as it consists of Liverpool, Atletico Madrid, AC Milan and Porto. Liverpool are in great form and are the favorites to win the group. But we might expect a good fight between Milan and Atletico for the second spot.
