The Champions League is back with the kick off for the knockout stage. And in one of the duels this Tuesday, Milan receives Tottenham for the first leg of the round of 16. The two teams are going through troubled times this season and are looking for a little more affirmation through this confrontation on the big stage of European football. The ball rolls from 5 pm (Brasília time) in the fashion capital.
Milan arrives for the match with a good part of the team in the medical department. Goalkeeper Maignan has been injured since September, with calf problems. However, there are already some expected returns for the season. One of them is the English defender Fikayo Tomori. In addition to him, Ibrahimovic also returned on Friday, against Torino. Apart from these players, Rafa Leão, Giroud and other important names should be in the starting lineup.
Despite the expulsion in the Premier League, defender Cristian Romero should start along with Dier and Davies in defense. Conte’s problem must be in midfield, with Bissouma injured and Hojbjerg suspended. Sarr and Skip should be starters in the position. In addition, goalkeeper Lloris had an injury last weekend and should be out for a long time. The London team is experiencing a troubled season full of ups and downs.
Bet 1: Tottenham tie cancels out, paying 1.95
Milan is only fifth in the Italian league and before the victory over Torino in the last round, they hadn’t won for seven games, four of which they lost. On the other hand, Tottenham has an important victory over Manchester City and qualification for the round of 16 of the FA Cup. Therefore, analyzing the recent performance of each, it is valid to believe and bet on a Spurs victory, but in case of a draw, the investment is refunded.
Bet 2: Asian 2 goals: Yes, paying 1.47
Firstly, it is worth mentioning that in the last six clashes of Milan, four of them ended with at least three goals. In addition, another important fact is that Tottenham matches in English have an average of 3.34 goals. In this way, we will bet that the duel has at least three balls in the nets, however, if there are two, the bet is returned.
Bet 3: Both To Score, paying 1.65
Both teams are used to scoring goals, however, they are frequently failing. Milan, for example, in the last 10 games played, saw their defensive system concede goals in eight of them. In that sense, believing in a busy and balanced confrontation, both will score.
