AC Milan v Zenit predictions: Betting stats

AC Milan is locked in second position of Champions’ League Group C. They have already qualified for the Champions League knock out stages in other words. Zenit are fighting with Anderlecht for the privilege to play in the last rounds of the Europa League. In the reverse fixture Milan won 3-2. 

AC Milan is WLDWWL (3-1-2) at home in their last six. The goal average was 2.5 and four out of six went under 2.5. AC Milan managed two clean sheets and won one out of six with a goal superiority of two plus goals. AC Milan only let in more than one goal once in this interval, but also failed to score more than one goal five out of six. AC Milan has so far played 0-0 (versus Anderlecht) and 1-1 (versus Malaga) at home in this edition of the Champions League.

Two of their wins in this interval was with a superiority of two plus goals. Zenit let in more than one goal three out of six. In this Champions League campaign Zenit has lost 1-0 away to Anderlecht and 3-0 away to Malaga.

Team News and Run of Play

AC Milan is without supsended Central defender Mexes. Experienced Central defender Yepes is out too. As Bonera, Antonini  and Abate most likely are out still too the defence looks really weakened. Edit: First Choice Keeper Abbiati is back in the squad. If he will play is unclear. Further up on the pitch Ambrosini is likely to miss the game in midfield and striker Pato is out as well. EDIT: Defender Constant, and influential Midfielder Montolivio is rested. For Zenit attacker Bystrov is out suspended. Other than that Zenit should field close to their best as far as we know right now. 

The reverse fixture was a fairly balanced tie. Zenit perhaps deserved more but AC Milan is class and tough to beat in Europe. If you give them space they will score. Here they aren’t very motivated, and they got to be careful with key players due to the injury nightmare they’re going through. I would not be surprised if the home side decides to rest a good few first team starters. If Zenit shows up motivated they can get something out of this game.

AC Milan v Zenit predictions: 1x2 preview

With nothing to play for, and many first team players injured or doubtful it isn’t very tempting to bet AC Milan against such a good, and motivated side as Zenit. As Zenit can call on players such as Hulk, Alves and Witsel shows we are dealing with a club going places. A depleted Milan side that also might spare players better watch out! Betsson offers 2.85 for the away win, and I am taking it. Given the circumstances that odds looks good. When you add the Risk Free Bet of €100 that Betsson offers to the mix it’s a no-brainer. This €100 Risk Free bet allows you to get a refund of up to 100 euro if the bet is a loser. This Betsson bonus really is the best.

AC Milan v Zenit predictions: Total Goals preview

So far the Champions League games of these contenders point to the Under 2.5. That both teams are lacking some firepower up front (Bystrov and Pato) should indicate less goals too. The x-factor for me is what side AC Milan will put out. Defensively they look rather depleted. That said; should Zenit go 1-0 up they might want to lay back and try to safeguard the lead. So, it might not mean much. There are plenty of scenarios, and most of them makes this look like an under game. Betsson offers 1.84, and I am on it. Keep in mind the Risk Free Bet of €25 as well. If you bet, say €25 on the game and lose; Betsson will refund the lost stake.
