Milan Form and Team News

Milan has lost all three games coming into the second league of the group stage. Even if they lost a tough match against Liverpool, they were able to produce performances of substances as how we saw at the Anfield, this Milan outfit could really make it count this season on the big stage as well. They are placed in the last position as of now. Milan are carrying what they did from the last season into this season after the first ten games. They have wonnine games comprehensively. Milan in the last season was one of the most exciting teams and turned back the years on quite a few occasions. They were even topping the league in certain stages of the season only to concede that to eventual champions Inter ending years of Juve dominance in Serie A.  

Stefano Pioli has managed to show his influence in Italian football with these two seasons at the helm with Milan, Last season was one of the best for the Italian in terms of results garnered as well. Giroud has taken Italy by storm netting in two goals in Serie A already. Tonali and Brahim Diaz have also managed to shake the inner netting at least once so far. The defense is where they should start working on and once that’s sorted, then Milan can go one position up from last season ending over ten years of wait for a league title. Zlatan has still not lit up the Milan games and even without that if Milan are playing well, we could be in for a real Milan show this season. 

FC Porto Form and Team News

FC Porto have been relatively quiet in the first three games having had to settle for a draw in the first game against Atletico Madrid. In the second game though they were taken apart by the Liverpool team. Porto have come back pretty well given they have won against the same Milan outfit in the last CL game they played against each other. In the Primeira Liga, Porto are the second placed team after nine games winning as many as seven games in the process. They have had a pretty decent start to the campaign so far with a good showing at the front of the goal as well as at the back with their defensive prowess. Porto is playing against Italian giants Milan in a reverse fixture and they should try to replicate the result from last time around to knock them out of contention for a place in the knockouts.

Sergio Conceicao has been strategically brilliant to say nonetheless during his stay at the Porto team. He has been around for a quite a while now that he has to start thinking about making it big in the European stage more often rather than having to serve as mere pushovers for other teams. He has the team to do that, just that they need to gel better and produce results like how they do in the domestic league. Luiz Diaz and Mehdi Taremi have already opened their goal scoring accounts with a strike each into the back of the net.
