Milan vs Tottenham: Prediction and Preview | The Analyst (The Analyst)

AC Milan and Tottenham Hotspur meet at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on Tuesday evening in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie.

The winger is at his best when finding pockets of space to run into and attack, but under Antonio Conte, Spurs have become well known for forming a low block and making it hard for opponents to find any space in behind their full backs. However, with such a small difference between each side’s win forecast, it looks like one of the hardest UCL last 16 ties to call. The 29-year-old also needs one more goal to reach 20 in all competitions in 2022-23, meaning it would be the ninth successive season that the legendary Spurs player has achieved this feat. That victory prevented Stefano Pioli’s team from losing five in a row within a single season for the first time since 1929-30 after four previous defeats against Internazionale (Super Cup and Serie A), Lazio and Sassuolo. On the last three occasions that he’s taken a team away to play at the San Siro versus the Rossoneri, they’ve won and kept a clean sheet (all in Serie A). Kane broke the record with his 267th Spurs goal in the 1-0 win over Man City earlier this month, surpassing Jimmy Greaves. It’s hard to look past Spurs’ new all-time record competitive goalscorer Harry Kane as their key man in this UCL match on Tuesday. However, a disastrous run of form in 2023 has seen them head into this UCL tie with doubts about their quality. Tottenham kept out the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Robinho, Alexandre Pato and Clarence Seedorf that day, thanks to some smart saves from Heurelho Gomes and a dramatic goal-line clearance from William Gallas. Spurs’ 0-0 draw with AC Milan at White Hart Lane in March 2011 might not have seen any goals, but it was a typical action-packed night of Champions League action. Spurs are unbeaten in all four of their previous head-to-heads against Milan, with two wins and two draws – both over two-legged European ties. Spurs did it again in the 2010-11 Champions League.

AC Milan vs Tottenham: How to watch live, team news, updates (NBC Sports)

Topsy-turvy Tottenham head to AC Milan for the first leg of their UEFA Champions League last 16 clash with nobody really knowing what to expect.

Chelsea has some work to do while surprising Fulham, Brentford and Brighton are hanging around on the periphery with fine campaigns. Mixed feelings for Seagulls after away point(Crystal Palace 1-1 Brighton): A painful howler by goalkeeper Robert Sanchez cost Brighton two points, as they settled for a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace in the M23 derby at Selhurst Park on Saturday. He let Wolves get back in the game and this defeat was the end for him as a Premier League manager this season. It’s a deserved point for Bournemouth at home, and a big reminder for Newcastle ahead of Liverpool in the Premier League followed by Man United in a cup final. Bees buzz at the right time to keep Arsenal wobbly (Arsenal 1-1 Brentford): Ivan Toney’s had a wild journey from Newcastle’s next big thing to Brentford’s now big thing, and he’s right up there with Harry Kane as the most complete center forwards in the league right now. Leicester hammers lifeless Tottenham as Conte returns from absence (Leicester 4-1 Spurs): A victory would have sent Tottenham over Newcastle for fourth place in the Premier League table (temporarily, at least) and to within one point of 3rd-place Manchester United. The runs were good — just mistimed — and when this clicks for Chelsea in the final third it will be a joy to watch. Chelsea fails to click in final third (West Ham 1-1 Chelsea): Chelsea looked superb in the first half as they scored a beauty with Enzo Fernandez’s perfectly-timed pass over the top to Joao Felix and they scored two others when they were just offside. If Arsenal is going to contend for a Premier League title — really contend for it — it can’t afford many two-match stretches in which they claim just a single point, especially if those matches are against Everton away and Brentford at home (although the Gunners will be fuming with reports that VAR did not draw offside lines on what appears to be a clear offside in the buildup to Brentford’s goal). Arsenal wobbles again ahead of massive Man City match (Arsenal 1-1 Brentford): Look at the traditional stats and you’ll be wondering just how Arsenal failed to fully bounce back from its surprise loss to Everton. Guardiola’s previously morose two-time defending champions took about two minutes to get the ball from Villa and then never really let it go, scoring thrice in the first half and setting the stage for Wednesday’s huge clash at Arsenal where a win will send City atop Arsenal on goal differential (The Gunners will have a match-in-hand regardless of what happens Wednesday). The big injury news ahead of this game was a huge blow for Spurs as Uruguayan midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has been ruled out for the rest of the season due to a ruptured ACL in his left knee.

Two clubs desperate to find their best form meet in Europe's top competition as AC Milan host Tottenham in the first leg of their Champions League Round of ...

Tottenham are missing key midfield pieces, and the AC Milan midfielders are in horrid form. While selecting Kulusevski to score or assist feels more palatable, he's more than twice as likely to assist as he is to score, and the odds double when picking him just to assist a goal. AC Milan's recent downturn can almost directly be linked to a dip in form for their lynchpin midfielder Sandro Tonali. Spurs only saw two of their six Champions League group stage matches go over the 2.5 goal total, but those came against chaotic teams Eintracht Frankfurt and Olympique Marseille. - AC Milan have never beaten Tottenham in their four all-time meetings, all coming in UEFA continental competition. If, however, Tonali has a performance like he did against, say, Sassuolo in late January, where he coughed up the ball repeatedly, Spurs will be a force on the break. Both sides have shipped goals on multiple occasions, then gone out and earned a clean sheet, only to be blasted again, all within the span of a few days or weeks. He has not scored or assisted a goal in his last five matches across all competitions. On both occasions, Tottenham won the first leg by a single goal, and the two sides drew the second leg. AC Milan sat second in the Serie A table at the break in November, while Tottenham stood in fourth in the Premier League. Both sides feature plus odds on the moneyline and are nearly dead even as such. Both teams have seen their domestic chase for a top four spot fall flat in recent weeks, and are in dire need of a boost.

the Algerian had a goal and an assist in the win over Villa and ranks higher than you’d think in City’s all-time ranks. But Man City may not have Erling Haaland as it looks to build off a decisive defeat of Aston Villa. Look for them to be keys to getting through Rodri and Co. And that should be a thank you to them and not a torture.” It was a real derby, difficult opponent to play against but we played a game we wanted to play, not a game Everton wanted to play.” Liverpool moves back into ninth place, ahead of Chelsea by a point with 32 points on the season. Stylistically the entire club was set up to play a high-pressing 4-2-2-2 formation for many years under Ralph Hasenhuttl. It is believed he could be in charge this weekend for their trip to Chelsea on Saturday (watch live, 10am ET on Peacock Premium). The American coach had been in charge at Leeds for just under a year and saved them from relegation on the final day of last season. Pape Matar Sarr could also start with Spurs light on central midfield options. The big injury news ahead of this game was a huge blow for Spurs as Uruguayan midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has been ruled out for the rest of the season due to a ruptured ACL in his left knee. Add in some key injury issues and Tottenham are up against it heading to play at the reigning Italian champs.

Another one of those games in which he struggled to make any inroads and he loses the ball sloppily at times, one occasion earning him a rollicking from Dier. The 34-year-old showed his fitness to get up and down the pitch just three days after the Leicester game. His Champions League debut and he looked comfortable and composed alongside his only slightly older midfield team-mate. A busy presence down the right and also tucked in to help the young midfield duo in the centre of the pitch at times. Not a good night on his return to the team.
