AC Milan Aims for Champions League Momentum Against Struggling Slovan Bratislava

AC Milan is set to face Slovan Bratislava in a UEFA Champions League match on Tuesday, November 26, at the Tehelne Pole in Bratislava, Slovakia. The match kicks off at 12:45 p.m. ET and will be available to stream on Paramount+ in the United States.

Slovan Bratislava, currently last in the league phase with zero points and a -13 goal differential, faces a significant challenge against the Italian giants. In contrast, AC Milan has shown resilience, particularly after their 3-1 victory over Real Madrid earlier this month. Despite mixed domestic results, Milan is brimming with confidence and aims to extend their unbeaten run of four games.

The predicted lineup for AC Milan includes Mike Maignan in goal, with a defensive line of Davide Calabria, Fikayo Tomori, Malick Thiaw, and Theo Hernandez. The midfield will likely feature Youssouf Fofana and Tijjani Reijnders, while the attacking front is expected to include Samuel Chukwueze, Christian Pulisic, and Noah Okafor supporting Tammy Abraham up front, who replaces the suspended Alvaro Morata.

Slovan Bratislava, meanwhile, will rely on key players such as Tigran Barseghyan, who has been in prolific form with 11 goals in 14 league matches, and David Strelec, who has scored five goals in his last five appearances. The team will also welcome back Austrian defender Kevin Wimmer from injury.

Given the strength of AC Milan’s squad and their recent form, the match is predicted to be a straightforward win for the Italian side. The odds reflect this, with AC Milan favored at -600, Slovan Bratislava at +1400, and a draw at +600.
