AC Milan vs Tottenham Prediction & Match Preview

Steffen Schmidt - February 13, 2023

AC Milan vs Tottenham
UEFA Champions League
Date: 14 February 2023, Tuesday
Kick-off at 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
Venue: Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (Milano).

AC Milan host Tottenham Hotspur in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League R16 tie on Tuesday evening at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.

Both teams have been far too inconsistent in the last couple of months and there are no genuine favorites over two legs.

Nevertheless, we have to say that the hosts will enter the game with an improved confidence after beating Torino 1-0 on Friday evening.

Olivier Giroud made the difference as he successfully converted Theo Hernandez’s assist to help I Rossoneri return to winning ways after seven consecutive winless affairs across competitions.

Head coach Stefano Pioli will also love the fact that his team finally kept a clean sheet following a streak of horrendous defensive showings.

Speaking of clean sheets, Spurs certainly did not get one on Saturday afternoon when they got brutally hammered by Leicester.

Antonio Conte’s men suffered a 4-1 defeat three days ago at King Power Stadium. Interestingly, such a result came just six days after the 1-0 victory over the reigning Premier League champions Manchester City.

It is thus very hard to predict which Tottenham team will appear on Tuesday in Italy. Conte will struggle to replace Rodrigo Bentancur who has been the heart of his team in the recent period. The Uruguayan midfielder suffered an injury on Saturday and will be absent for at least six months.

AC Milan vs Tottenham Head-to-head

• Tottenham have been the more successful side in the recent head to head history against AC Milan, winning three and drawing one of the previous four meetings with I Rossoneri.
• The two teams met each other at this stage of the Champions League exactly twelve years ago when Spurs advanced 1-0 on aggregate.
• We have seen a total of four goals scored in the previous four head to head encounters between these rivals.
