Tottenham Hotspur – AC Milan Betting Tip, Prediction & Odds (8.3.2023)

Milan are traveling to London with one thing in mind – to leave UK unbeaten. Tottenham, on the other hand, know they must score a minimum of one goal and to keep their net intact in return, and considering their recent results at home, Spurs believe they can achieve that. 

Tottenham Hotspur vs. AC Milan: Initial Situation

Tottenham are still occupying 4th place in the Premier League with 45 points and a goal difference of 46:36, but surging Liverpool are just three points behind with a game in hand. Securing the Champions League football for the next season is a priority for Antonio Conte’s men, but for now, they will switch focus to this duel against Milan. The Rossoneri will not defend their Serie A title as they are currently 18 points behind the league leaders Napoli, Milan are not even in the top 4 at the moment; they are in 5th position with 47 points and a goal difference of 42:32. 

Tottenham Hotspur Stats & Form

Tottenham lost four of the previous six games (W2), and it’s interesting that Spurs didn’t play a single draw in 2023 (W7, L7). A draw here is not going to work for them, so expect another W or L for Tottenham. Tottenham managed to respond to a 1:0 loss in Italy in the opening leg of this Champions League matchup as they beat West Ham and Chelsea without conceding a goal and scoring four on the other end. Still, they couldn’t find the back of the next in the next two matches against Sheffield United (FA Cup) and Wolves (PL), losing both by a 1:0 scoreline. 

Talismanic striker Harry Kane is Tottenham’s top scorer with 20 goals in all competitions. He is the only player with double figures so far. Following a fantastic season a year ago, Heung-min Son failed to impress this time around. The South Korean superstar has just nine goals and three assists to his name in 34 games. Ivan Perisic, who used to fight against AC Milan in the Derby della Madonnina while he played for Inter, is Tottenham’s top assist producer with nine. Antonio Conte will be back on the bench after a medical absence. He will be without Hugo Lloris (knee), Rodrigo Bentancur (knee), Yves Bissouma (ankle), Eric Dier (suspension), and Ryan Sessegnon (thigh). 

 

AC Milan Stats & Form

Milan was in a horrible form of seven matches without a win (D2, L5), and lost four in a row over that stretch, but bounced back with four consecutive victories and zero goals conceded in the process (5:0 GD). Still, the Rossoneri returned to losing ways with a 2:1 road defeat to Fiorentina in the latest Serie A match. 

Just like Tottenham, Milan also have only one player in double digits when it comes to goals this season. Olivier Giroud leads the side with 11 goals, while Rafael Leao follows him with nine, but he is also the club’s best assist-maker with ten dishes. Head coach Stefano Pioli cannot count on injured Brahim Diaz (knee).
