Bitesize Prediction: Salzburg vs AC Milan – 06/09/22

Competition: Champions League

Market: AC Milan Victory

Rating: 5/4 @

Hoping to open their Champions League adventure with a bang on Tuesday night, AC Milan will travel to Red Bull Salzburg.

Starting with the hosts, with Salzburg perhaps knowing they will face a tough test when they open their Group E run on Tuesday night, Matthias Jaissle's men enjoy a purple spot catchy. Aiming to clinch a second-place finish this year, the Red Bulls are in the middle of a six-game winning streak, a streak that dates back to July 30. Likewise, with 18 points in their first seven Bundesliga outings, the Austrian giants will also be boosted by their robust displays at the back. It should be noted that the hosts on Tuesday sent just one strike in their six-game winning streak. If Salzburg are to create an upset here, Jaissle will call on the partnership of Fernando and Noah Okafor to lead their charge. Since the start of the 2022/23 campaign, the pair have already racked up eight Bundesliga goals between them.

When it comes to the visitors, who managed to end their 11-year wait for a Serie A crown last season, AC Milan have maintained the same momentum since opening the 2022 campaign/ 23. Unbeaten in each of their first five domestic encounters, the Italian heavyweights will also be boosted with a stellar performance over the weekend. In what was an action-packed affair at the San Siro, Stefano Pioli's men secured a 3-2 victory against their bitter local rivals. Finally claiming bragging rights from Milan and with the feeling that the mood in their camp is at a high level, the Rossoneri will now aim to secure a first European scorer here. Having wrapped up last season's Champions League group stage with a 1-0 away win over former Spanish champions Atletico Madrid, we're backing a similar result for Pioli's side on Tuesday night. .

Bet: AC Milan 5/4 beat Salzburg in Tuesday's Champions League opener @
