THE PREDICTION

After leading in both their opening Group B games so far, AC Milan will feel incredibly hard done at the fact they sit on zero points but in reality they only have themselves to blame for defensive lapses, and the manner in which they conceded two late goals to Atletico Madrid last time out will have been particularly frustrating. This trip to Porto is vital for them to get something from and they are boosted by the potential return of the talismanic Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The Rossoneri face a side who conceded five times to Liverpool on Matchday 2 but who aren’t shy of scoring themselves, having bagged 15 goals in their last five games in all competitions. Therefore, this match looks like a solid candidate for the both teams to score market.
