Expert Predictions for Real Madrid vs AC Milan: November 6, 2024 Match Preview

Bola.net – Real Madrid and AC Milan will meet at the Santiago Bernabeu on matchday 4 of the 2024/2025 Champions League phase. The UCL league phase match between Real Madrid vs AC Milan is scheduled to kick-off Wednesday, November 6 2024, at 03.00 WIB, live broadcast on SCTV and live streaming on Vidio.

The two most successful teams in the history of the European Cup/Champions League will meet again for the first time in 14 years. Madrid, holders of 15 titles, ahead of Milan who have collected seven trophies, are currently above the Italian representatives in the standings for the 2024/2025 season.

Madrid coach, Carlo Ancelotti, who is a former Milan coach, has faced his former club 15 times as coach (W5 D7 L3). However, Ancelotti has never faced Milan in the Champions League. This will be a first.

Ancelotti’s boys started their work in this season’s competition with a home win over Stuttgart (3-1). Losing surprisingly 0-1 at Lille headquarters, Madrid then performed spectacularly when they hosted Borussia Dortmund. Coming from 0-2 behind, the defending champions came back to win 5-2 in a match marked by Vinicius Junior’s hat-trick.

On the other hand, Milan just won their first point with a 3-1 win over Club Brugge at the San Siro in the third match. Paulo Fonseca’s team won thanks to one goal from Christian Pulisic and two goals from Tijjani Reijnders. Before that, they lost 1-3 to Liverpool at home and lost 0-1 at Bayer Leverkusen headquarters.

In La Liga, Madrid’s 42-match unbeaten streak ended after they lost 0-4 to Barcelona on 27 October. That was Madrid’s last match. The reason is, the away match against Valencia last weekend was postponed due to flooding.

In Serie A, Milan recovered from a 0-2 defeat against Napoli with a narrow 1-0 win over hosts Monza. Milan won thanks to Reijnders’ single goal.

The last time Madrid and Milan met in a competitive match was in the Champions League group phase of the 2010/2011 season. Madrid won 2-0 at the Bernabeu thanks to goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Mesut Ozil. At San Siro, they drew 2-2. Madrid’s lead through Gonzalo Higuain’s goal was reversed by Milan with a pair of Filippo Inzaghi goals. Pedro Leon then scored the equalizer in the 90+4 minute, which ensured Madrid progressed to the round of 16 with two games remaining.
