Rúben Amorim
AC Milan
Benfica**San Siro's turning into a proper midweek battleground.** AC Milan host an absolutely **rampant Benfica** side that's cruising through Portugal like they're on a cheat code. 🔴
Milan's been solid domestically but draws against Juventus and Lazio suggest they can look shaky on the road — and defending at home will need sharpness they haven't quite shown lately. Benfica, meanwhile, just demolished everyone 5-0 in their last two games combined. That's the kind of form that travels.
Key storylines:
- **Benfica's attack vs Milan's creaky backline**: Missing Gila and Gabbia is rough; Pavlović and De Winter will be tested hard by Cabral and Durán
- **Midfield battle around Musah and Rabiot**: If Milan can control tempo through the centre, they've got a shot; Prestianni and Silva need to keep things tight for Benfica
- **Home advantage on the edge**: Milan unbeaten at San Siro in this stretch, but Benfica's won four straight — form vs familiar ground
Expected lineups:
- **AC Milan**: Maignan, Pavlović, De Winter, Tomori, Chukwueze, Musah, Rabiot, Ramos
- **Benfica**: Soares, Lenglet, Dahl, Araújo, Pavlidis, Durán, Cabral
Prediction:
**2-1 AC Milan.** Home soil tips it, but Benfica's too hot to go home empty-handed. Expect fireworks. ⚡
