Champions League betting and spectator preview: Milan and Salzburg meet at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Milan and Salzburg.
Milan form and stats
Last season their Champions League adventure ended in the group stage.Milan have been very solid at home in the Serie A so far, with 15 points collected from 6 matches (5-0-1). This has contributed greatly to their 3rd position in the table. On the other hand, in the Champions League, Milan has performed like this (both home and away): 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses.
The regulars are hoping that Milan will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the match against Torino. Midfielder Messias was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.33 (out of ten) in that game. Messias scored one goal and hit one key pass.
Before that game, a nice away win at Dinamo Zagreb. A Champions League match.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Serie A game versus Spezia in only three days. This game is also played here at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.
Milan are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (16 goals in 6 games). Milan have conceded 7 in these home matches.
Salzburg form and stats
Last season their Champions League adventure ended in the 8th finals against Bayern München.Salzburg have been very strong on the road so far with a massive 15 points collected from 6 Tipico Bundesliga games. 5 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat is the record so far. Total Champions League statistics for Salzburg: 1 win, 3 draws and 1 loss.
233 minutes! That's how long the Salzburg goalkeeper Philipp Köhn and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Salzburg won their last game, 1-0 versus Hartberg played at home. Okafor came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Hartberg last time out, making the manager Jaissle feel like a tactical genius. Midfielder Seiwald was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.83. Seiwald hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 29 successful passes (of 32 total).
The fixture before was the Champions League-duel against Chelsea, a home loss (1-2).
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Salzburg manager Jaissle as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Wolfsberger AC.
Salzburg are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 5 times in 6 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
