Preview
Milan head into this after a 3-2 away loss to Liverpool in their opening group stage match of the season.
Tomori’s own goal have Liverpool the lead before Rebic and Diaz made it 2-1 to Milan before half time. But strikes from Salah and Henderson inflicted a defeat on the Italian side.
AC Milan look to bounce back and get their UCL campaign underway with a positive result against Atletico.
On the other hand, Atletico Madrid were held to a goalless draw against Porto on MD 1 and need the right result here as the fixtures get tougher from here on.
The La Liga champions have played out a draw, win and loss in their next 3 matches which shows inconsistency.
Hence, a win is very crucial for their chances of regaining control.
Both sides last met in the UCL Round of 16 in 2014 where Atletico won 4-1 through goals from Turan, Garcia and Costa’s brace.

Milan possible 11:

Atletico Madrid possible 11:
Oblak, Hermoso, Felipe, Gimenez, Carrasco, De Paul, Koke, Llorente, Trippier, Felix and Suárez
Prediction: Milan 1-1 Atletico Madrid
Both sides have been in decent form heading into this and have well-rounded squads.
With injuries to Milan, they are slightly short of their full-strength team and hence we expect a stalemate in this one.
Atletico hasn’t been at their best this season and are still searching for their best performances.
Players to watch out for: Rebic, Giroud, Suárez and Felix.
