Newcastle United vs AC Milan 13.12.2023 Prediction: UEFA Champions League

Match Overview

Newcastle United take on AC Milan in a match in the UEFA Champions League at St James' Park on Wednesday. Milan will have to battle the vociferous crowd that congregates here but it will not be easy by any means. Newcastle, who are known to attack on the counter, will have a hard time trying to feel their way through the pockets of space.

Key Highlights 

There has only been one game recorded between the two teams in the past, which was played out as a goalless draw. This was when they met earlier in the Champions League at the San Siro Stadium. This time around, however, Newcastle will want to make sure that they start the game on the front foot. Milan, on the other hand, will rely on their creative midfielders.

Injury Report

Newcastle United will have to make do without the services of Matt Targett, Nick Pope and Sven Botman whereas AC Milan will be without Simon Kjaer, Marco Pellegrino and Pierre Kalulu in this game.

Prediction

Neither Newcastle United nor AC Milan appear to be the favourites to win this game. The home team have taken quite a few shots in the final third and their creativity has often been talked about. Milan, for their part, have been extremely disciplined in defence. They need to keep at it from the first minute. We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this encounter.
