Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Milan Win or Draw – 1.67
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Over 2 Goals – 1.46
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Correct Score Group Bet – 2-1 or 3-1 or 4-1 – 6.10
Milan Win or Draw
Milan won seven of their eight previous home games and won their only game at the Meazza in the Champions League this season. Meanwhile, Chelse lost three of their last four away games in all competitions and their only away game in the CL.
Over 2 Goals
Milan’s all three games in the Champions League ended with over two goals. On Chelsea’s side, the Blues’ two of three CL fixtures produced two or more goals and the same trend happened in the last four h2h meetings.
Correct Score Group Bet – 2-1 or 3-1 or 4-1
Three times in their last five matches Milan won by one of these scores. Moreover, at the Meazza, Milan beat Dinamo Zagreb by a score of 3-1 in the second round.
AC Milan
The Italian champions suffered a heavy defeat in the reverse match against Chelsea last week losing by 0-3 at Stamford Bridge. In fact, this was the first time the Rossoneri lose by this score in 22 games when they lost to Inter in the Coppa Italia back in April 2022.
In three rounds of play, Milan gathered four points from a win a draw and a defeat and are at third place on goal difference from Chelsea. With the second part of the group stage to get underway on Tuesday, Stefano Pioli knows he has no margins for error and needs to bounce back from last week’s loss if he wants his team to challenge for a place in the knockout stages.
Chelsea
Chelsea started off their Champions League campaign with a surprise defeat at the hands of Dinamo Zagreb away from home. Another weak result followed on matchday two with a draw against group leaders Salzburg. However, the Blues showed their true colors in the last round.
Despite having fewer ball possession in the game against Milan, Chelsea were more active in the offense. To point out, the Blues had six shots on goal of which they scored three times. In addition, coach Graham Potter’s strategy of securing the defense first paid off after Milan managed just one shot at goal.
We don[t expect this one to be a clear win for any team as was the case last week. After all Milan are the Italian champions and have all the weapons to return Chelsea the favor. As a result, we will back a double chance of a home win or draw.

Safe Bet
Chelsea scored at least a goal in eight of their ten fixtures in all competitions. Milan conceded at least a goal in nine of their 11 matches since the start of the season. With odds of 1.46 at 22Bet, we will back Chelsea to score at least a goal in this match.
Olivier Giroud joined AC Milan from Chelsea in 2021 after playing 75 games and scoring 17 goals for the Blues. The Frenchman is two goals shy of that tally with Milan after netting 15 in 37 outings. Giroud has scored four goals for the Rossoneri this season and we expect him to score anytime in this game.
Rafael Leao has been one of the best players for Milan last season and helped them win the Scudetto. Aubameyang scored twice in his last two appearances for Chelsea after joining the Blues from Barcelona.
Kjaer, Calabria, and Florenzi with Hamstring injuries, Messias and Maignan with calf injuries, Saelemaekers and Ibrahimovic with knee injuries are all absent for Milan.
On Chelsea’s side, Fofana is out with a knee injury while Kante is sidelined with a hamstring injury. Chukwuemeka is doubtful with an illness.
