AC Milan are still seeking their first win in Group F of the UEFA Champions League as they welcome PSG to San Siro on Tuesday. The Rossoneri have ben out of sorts in recent weeks and should find things difficult against a free-scoring PSG side, who appear to be brimming with confidence at the moment.
It has been a difficult start to the Champions League for AC Milan, who are still without a win after three matches. Having begun with successive 0-0 draws with Newcastle United and Borussia Dortmund, they fell to a 3-0 defeat to PSG in their previous fixture.
AC Milan’s problems are not just limited to the Champions League as they appear to be on a downward spiral in recent weeks. Stefano Pioli’s men are winless in their last four matches across all competitions, suffering three wins in that run.
The Rossoneri have also found things difficult at San Siro in recent weeks having lost their last two home matches. First, they were beaten 1-0 by Juventus before suffering a similar defeat to Udinese in a Serie A fixture last weekend.
In contrast to AC Milan’s struggles, PSG are looking well on course to progress after claiming two wins from their three Group H matches so far. They picked up a 3-0 victory over the Rossoneri last tome out with Kylian Mbappe, Randal Kolo Muani and Lee Kang-In getting the goals.
That result highlights PSG’s recent good form as they appear to have turned a corner after enduring a difficult start to the season. They have now won their last five matches across all competitions and travel to San Siro off the back of a 3-0 victory over Montpellier in a Ligue 1 fixture last weekend.
PSG have also impressed on their travels this season with just one defeat across all competitions on the road so far. However, Luis Enrique’s men have kept just one clean sheet in their last six matches on the road.
