Milan missed out on scoring against PSG in their last meeting. Even with 11 attempts at the goal, they found it challenging to create scoring chances, which is a definite worry for the team. Regrettably, Simon Kjaer, Samuel Chukwueze, Marco Sportiello, and Ismael Bennacer are sidelined due to injuries, while Christian Pulisic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are uncertain to play.
Giroud, who has contributed a total of 9 goals and assists, is the player worth keeping an eye on in the game.
Winger Pulisic is doubtful to start for Milan.
Predicted Lineup: Maignan, Calabria, Kalulu, Tomori, Hernández, Musah, Krunic, Reijnders, Leao, Giroud, Luka Romero
Important players like Keylor Navas, Sergio Rico, Nuno Mendes, Marco Asensio, and Marquinhos are all dealing with injuries, which could pose a major challenge for PSG in the upcoming match. However, there's a silver lining as Presnel Kimpembe has returned to training.
K Mbappe has been a standout player, contributing significantly with a total of 13 goals and assists in the attacking department. He's definitely a player worth keeping an eye on in this game.
Ousmane Dembele is expected to start for PSG.
Predicted Lineup: Donnarumma, Hakimi, Pereira, Skriniar, Hernández, Barcola, Zaire-Emery, Ruiz, Lee, Kylian Mbappé, Ramos
Paris Saint-Germain is currently in outstanding form, and much of the credit goes to their dynamic duo of K. Mbappe and Dembele. K. Mbappe boasts an impressive 41.7% shots-on-target rate, while Dembele has a 25% rate, making them a formidable attacking force that can trouble any opponent. They are the primary threats Milan needs to watch out for. Additionally, PSG's average possession of 70% suggests they will likely control the game.
However, let's not underestimate Milan on their best days. Giroud, with a solid 26.7% shots-on-target rate, and their goalkeeper Maignan, who has made an impressive 22 saves, will certainly present a challenge for PSG. Nevertheless, PSG possesses a more talented squad and tactical prowess, making them the favorites to win this thrilling encounter.
