Betting expert Martin Green recommends Liverpool for the 90-minute money line at -110 for this match-up. Both teams had struggles last season, with AC Milan finishing 19 points behind Inter Milan in Serie A and Liverpool nine points off the pace for the title in the EPL. However, Liverpool has shown early promise this season, securing clean sheet victories against Ipswich Town, Brentford, and Manchester United before their recent loss. In contrast, AC Milan started sluggishly, drawing and losing matches before their recent win against Venezia.
Green believes Liverpool’s speed on counterattacks and set-piece threats could exploit AC Milan’s defensive weaknesses, potentially leading to a victory in Italy.
