AC Milan v Tottenham Betting Tips [14 February 2023]

Italian giants AC Milan recovered from their recent slump with a slim win in Serie A and will be hoping to build on when they host Tottenham Hotspur in the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League. Milan’s title charge seems to have been blown away and they will be more focused on the Champions League and a top four finish. They come into this game having beaten Torino 1-0 in their weekend game, a result that ended a run of seven matches without a win. Milan have been poor in both defence and attack and they will be desperate to do better in this first leg encounter. They have failed to score in three of their last five matches, and the Italian giants have conceded two or more goals in five of their last eight matches. At home, they have one win in the last five matches. In their last five meetings with Premier League teams in the Champions League, Milan have suffered straight defeats. They’ve fallen twice each to0 Chelsea and Liverpool then once to Arsenal. They finished second in their group, behind Chelsea and will be hoping to avoid a bad result against another English team.

Tottenham Hotspur’s recent run of three straight wins was cut short in their last game, as they suffered a 4-1 loss away to Leicester City in the Premier League. ahead of that game, Spurs had beaten Manchester City 1-0, keeping a third straight clean sheet and looked like they had turned the bend. They were however given a tough reality check by Leicester City. For Spurs, it has been an inconsistent season and they are even struggling to get into the top four in the Premier League. Tottenham have scored in each of their last five matches and this will be a major area of strength as they face this struggling Milan side. They have however conceded four goals twice in the last five matches and they will have to be cautious at the back as well. With 11 points in their group, Spurs managed to finish top. They are on four matches unbeaten in the Champions League – two wins and as many draws. The last time Spurs faced an Italian team, they beat Inter Milan 1-0.

Tottenham Hotspur are coming from a loss, but have a better run than AC Milan. Three wins and clean sheets in the last four matches should be enough to generate the confidence going into a match against a struggling team. AC Milan haven't done well against English teams and our prediction for the AC Milan v Tottenham Hotspur is for the away side to win.
