Hello Hiveans,
I’ve been off for a while and this was because I was caught with school activities, exams etc. But I’m back with a fun to read Match preview between Ac Milan and Chelsea Football club.
It’s Neck and neck in this UEFA champions league group as there’s only two points separating all four clubs in Group E.And as it stands it is very difficult to predict the two clubs to makes the top two of spot of this group with a round of matches to go.
Preview
Both teams are locked on four points in three games each with a perfect results split ( 1 win , 1 loss , 1 Draw). The Hosts, Ac Milan went back to Italy with a 3-0 defeat at London to Chelsea last week, this setback didn’t hit them long as they beat Juventus by 2 goals to nil at the San Siro in the Serie A to keep them in the tittle race with just three points behind league leaders Napoli during the weekend.
This will boost the confidence of the Rossoneri as they look to avenge the 3-0 defeat at home.
It is now four defeats in a row against a premier league side for Ac Milan after last week. And it’s hard to call it considering they’ve lost six of their last seven at home to Premier league opponents. Though they’ve won five out of six home games across all competitions this season.
The Blues fielded a largely rotated eleven to beat Wolverhampton wanderers by 3 goals to nil at the bridge. The new boss will expect the rested players to justify his choice to rotate the squad against Wolverhampton wanderers on their return against The Rossoneri today.
The new boss Graham Potter looks to extend his unbeaten run given Chelsea* have Lost only three of their last 23 away European games (15 wins, 3 losses, 5 Draws) including the loss at Zagreb. following that the blues have won only once out of 11 away games to Serie A opposition their record of not losing successive UCL away games since 2012 looks threatened.
Player to watch
The Gabonese goal prowess Pierre Emerick Aubameyang opened his UCL account for Chelsea against Ac Milan and could be a menace today for the Rossoneri’s defense.
