Real Madrid vs AC Milan Prediction 05.11.2024 | UEFA Champions League

• Competition: UEFA Champions League
• Date: Tuesday, 5th, November 2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21.00 CEST
• Venue: Estadio Santiago Bernabeu (Madrid)

The midweek showdown at Santiago Bernabeu brings together the two most successful clubs in Champions League history, with Real Madrid welcoming AC Milan for matchday four.

eal Madrid saw no weekend action, as their La Liga visit to Estadio Mestalla was postponed due to the natural disaster of severe flooding that struck the eastern province of Valencia and its surroundings. After a brief pause in their packed schedule, Los Blancos now shift focus to their European commitments, aiming to bolster their points tally after claiming six out of nine possible points so far, having triumphed over German sides Stuttgart 3-1 and Borussia Dortmund 5-2, while suffering a 1-2 defeat to LOSC Lille sandwiched between those wins.

Conversely, AC Milan ranks just behind Real Madrid in terms of Champions League trophies won, having lifted the title on seven occasions, though their last triumph came back in the 2006-07 season when they defeated Liverpool 2-1 in a memorable final in Athens. However, the golden era of the Milanese club has faded, as their presence has diminished over recent years with just five appearances in an 11-year span, including this campaign where they started poorly, losing to Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen in the first two matches before pulling off a routine 3-1 victory over Club Brugge in round three.

Real Madrid vs AC Milan Betting Tips: REAL MADRID TO WIN

With the weekend's La Liga showdown against Valencia being called off, the most recent outing was far from memorable for Los Blancos, who were humiliated with a 0-4 loss in Madrid at the hands of Flick’s high-flying Barcelona, prompting Carlo Ancelotti to seek a swift and impactful response from his chosens. The record European champions have been nearly unstoppable in the Champions League in front of their home fans, as they have gone unbeaten through 15 straight European matches at home, winning 12 of those contests, so they will look to leverage that strong record to quickly bounce back from their recent El Clasico humiliation.

Opponent AC Milan received a confidence injection over the weekend by running out 1-0 winners against AC Monza, but their away displays this season leaves little room for celebration, as they have finished half of their six trips to date in defeat. Regrettably, another failure may loom for the Red and Blacks this Wednesday, given their poor history of away matches at Santiago Bernabeu, suffering defeats in five of their seven trips to this iconic venue. Determined to mount a strong response after the collapse against their bitter rivals, Real Madrid should capitalize on the weaknesses of the Milanese club to make it their third victory in three home matches in the new Champions League format.
