Salzburg Tagged Underdogs
Salzburg were in control in their first Europa League main stage match against Levski in Sofia and claimed a well-deserved 1-0 victory, Haris Tabakovic finding the net just before the break.
A couple of days later, they had zero problems in the Austrian Bundesliga derby, outplaying Sturm Graz 3-0 at home and moved up to second place.
This mini-winning streak came to an end last weekend though, being held to a goalless draw against Grazer on the road. This was an open contest where both sides missed multiple chances to score.
AC Milan Underperforming This Season
AC Milan are under pressure after losing their first Europa League appearance to Benfica 2-0 in mid-September, ending this clash with 1.03-0.63 xG, 61% possession and 17-11 shots.
Ruben Amorim’s side is also underperforming in the Italian Serie A where they claimed just three victories in six rounds and currently sit in 5th place.
Their last three league games on the road ended without a winner; 1-1 against Juventus, 2-2 against Lazio and most recently Sassuolo 1-1 last weekend.

Nikolas Veratschnig, Soumaila Diabate, and Enrique Aguilar remain sidelined with injuries for the home side. Haris Tabakovic is having a good season so far but suferred a minor knock, so he is expected to start on bench.

Verdict
AC Milan are having a lot of problems across competitions recently, winning just one out of their five encounters while Salzburg are unbeaten since May. I am backing the Austrian side in the double chance market.
