Tottenham Hotspur vs. AC Milan picks and predictions
Prediction
Tottenham Hotspur 2, AC Milan 1
Moneyline (ML)
BET TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR (-110).
Tottenham has been especially strong at home in league play, posting 9 wins and 4 losses, having yet to draw.
That same success carried over to the group stage round where they had 2 wins and a draw in 3 home matches. They have won 3 straight home games and 4 of their last 5 throughout all competitions.
Milan has lost 3 of their last 4 road matches. They will likely be down attacking mid Brahim Diaz as well which could be a blow to Milan’s ability to create in the attacking third.
Over/Under (O/U)
LEAN OVER 2.5 (+115).
Tottenham is set to get M Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg back, and he could aid their ability to transition. Tottenham also have high-level finishers able to get through the Milan defense, which hasn’t been great for much of the season.
Both defenses allow more than a goal per game while both offenses average more than 1.5 goals per game. The familiarity after playing last month should aid offenses in breaking down defenses as well.
For a smaller unit, back the OVER 2.5 (+115).
