Year after year, all bets are on Paris Saint-Germain, and this season is no exception. They were previously full of stars like Lionel Messi, Neymar Jr, and Kylian Mbappé. But this season, ex-Barcelona stars Messi and Neymar have respectively left for the US (Inter Miami) and Saud Arabia (Al-Hilal), leaving Mbappé behind alone. Additionally, Luis Enrique arrived as the new head coach in the French capital.
But the 1-4 loss against Newcastle United brought anger among the fans of Paris Saint-Germain, and, more specifically, Luis Enrique. They might have won against Dortmund (2-0), but the match against AC Milan is also a must-win for the French. Conversely, AC Milan lost an important game against Juventus (0-1) and now needs a result against Paris Saint-Germain. Given the presence of players like Leao and Pulisic, Paris might not have an easy time.

Paris Saint-Germain vs AC Milan Prediction and Odds
- Pick: Draw
- Odds: +292 (Tonybet)
While both teams are preoccupied with their domestic league performances, neither will want to concede too much defensive space. However, given their defensive structures, a clean sheet for either side seems unlikely. PSG also find it hard to score much in Europe, due to Enrique’s insistence on build-up play, with very few natural strikers that can finish the job. It also does not help that Ugarte is often isolated in the midfield, worsened by the sudden exit of Marco Verratti, who would have been useful in joining the different chains of Enrique’s build-up ideas.
Paris Saint–Germain v AC Milan Betting Tips
- Pick: Christian Pulisic to score
- Odds: +437 (Tonybet)
In the last weeks, Pulisic has been a major goal threat, racking up goals against Lazio and Genoa, as well as shining during the international break with the USMNT.
With Leao on the field, scoring against a frequently disorganized defense is almost a given. Moreover, AC Milan, boasting superior midfield coordination, are more likely to create clear chances, especially with the right pressing scheme.
Their opponents, on the other hand, have struggled to find their footing in Europe this season.
