Our prediction for the match Milan vs Liverpool
“The Rossoneri” rose to 2nd place in the Serie A last season – and only neighbouring Inter, which was in the peak shape at that time, took more points. Still, the project management, it seems, simply did not want to continue cooperation with Stefano Pioli, and announced early that the mentor would leave in the summer. Even earlier, Klopp himself announced that he would leave Anfield. Jurgen won the League Cup at the end of his way within the club and raised his wards to 3rd place.
The German specialist was replaced by Arne Slot. At the same time, “the Merseysiders” either simply let go of unnecessary players, such as Adrian and Thiago, or sold reserves in the transfer market. And only at the end of the “window” the club signed Chiesa, clearly cheaply, buying out Mamardashvili, who will arrive in England in 2025. The coaching position of the Italian team was taken by Paulo Fonseca. The squad was also changed significantly: Saelemakers was given to Roma in exchange for Abraham, Morata was acquired instead of Giroud, who left for the MLS, and Fofana, Strahinja Pavlovic and Emerson Royal were also acquired.
The Portuguese mentor started at San Siro on the verge of failure. There was talk of his possible resignation after draws with Torino and Lazio and a defeat made by Parma. Still, the management gave the new coach another chance. And the team at least crushed Venice – 4-0. The Dutch mentor started much brighter at Anfield. Salah and the company beat Ipswich, Brentford and Manchester United without conceding a single goal. Still, the “honeymoon” of the new coach may be over: despite all the advantages, the team did not beat Nottingham Forest at the home arena in the previous round.

“The Rossoneri” are considered the outsiders at the home arena, but the guests also unpleasantly surprised in the previous match. As a result, we bet on “total: under 3.0” (odd: 1.81).
