Europa League betting and spectator preview: Milan and Lille 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 Lille.
Lille have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Milan form and stats
Milan participated in Europa League the last season, where they reached the group stage.Milan have collected seven points from their first three Serie A games here at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, a promising start. This match is a Europa League match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 4 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses in this competition. Milan has a nice streak going on as they have played 18 consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Genoa defeat 242 days ago.
It's back home for Milan, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Udinese away with the result 2-1. Franck Kessié and Zlatan Ibrahimović found the net in that victory. Before that game, the 3-0 home victory against Sparta Praha.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Milan matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, one draw and zero defeats (from two games).
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Serie A game versus Hellas Verona 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 (8 goals in 3 games). Milan's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 3 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Lille form and stats
Lille was sent out of Champions League in the group stage last season.2-2-0 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Lille in their Ligue 1 matches away. In general it has been a productive period now for Lille as they haven't lost any of their last twelve games. Lille are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played seven in a row without losing.
Lille's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Olympique Lyonnais that finished 1-1. Ahead of that game was the 2-2 draw at home against Celtic in the Europa League.
