Manchester United FC Form & Team News

AC Milan Form & Team News

AC Milan were beaten by Portuguese team Benfica in their last ICC fixture. They were guilty of poor finishing having failed to find the net despite dominating the possession and creating several goalscoring opportunities.

It was the second straight defeat for the Rossoneri, who were also beaten 1-0 by Bayern Munich in their opening ICC fixture. Their poor form has them at odds of 4.33 to beat United while a draw is valued at 3.75.

Krzysztof Piatek is still seeking his first preseason goal for Milan after two matches but is expected to start on Saturday. The Polish striker should be joined by Samu Castillejo and Fabio Borini, who have also struggled in recent matches.
