REASON FOR MILAN VS MAN UNITED PREDICTIONS

There is something to play for in this tie of the Uefa Europa League after AC Milan held Manchester United to a 1-1 draw in the first leg. A goalless draw would therefore be enough for the Rossoneri to guarantee progression within 90 minutes, but the fact they‘ve only had one clean sheet from their last eight UEL home games is concerning.

At home, the hosts have won just one of their last five Serie A outings (D1, L3), whilst scoring just once before the hour mark during that run. Although trends show that Milan has won ‘to nil’ in four of their five European home ties against Man United – leading at both HT/FT in all four, even though they lost the most recent back in February 2010.

Man United has qualified from five of their previous 12 UEFA competition ties in which they drew at home in the first leg. They are currently on a 13-game unbeaten competitive run (W5, D8 ), meaning they head into this match in high confidence.

In addition, they have not lost playing an Italian opposition in their last five away fixtures (W3, D2).

Players to watch: Frankie Kessie has scored his last eight competitive goals from the spot, including Milan’s previous two home goals, while Bruno Fernandes for the Reds has been involved in seven goals (five goals, two assists) across his eight UEL appearances.
