Prediction: 1-1
AC Milan
Milan will be aiming to get their revenge on Real Betis for a 2-1 loss at Stadio San Siro when the two teams face each other at Estadio Benito Villamarin on Thursday evening. The Rossoneri failed to impress in the defeat to the La Liga side in Milano and, no doubt, they are eager to grab something from Thursday’s football match in Seville. The two teams sit in top two positions in Group F, meaning that a close encounter is on the cards. Both sides are likely to adopt a cautious approach in the Estadio Benito Villamarin clash, therefore, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. A man to watch in the home side will be talented midfielder Lo Celco, whilst Real Betis defenders should have experienced attacker Gonzalo Higuain at bay. Taking everything into account, share of spoils is on the cards.

AC Milan are regarded as one of the biggest club in Italy. The Rossoneri compete in the Italian Serie A and they have won 18 domestic trophies. Speaking of the club’s European success, Milan have clinched seven Champions League (European Cup) trophies.
Milan were on the verge of beating Liverpool in the 2005 Champions League final, but the Premier League outfit came from three goals behind and eventually won the prestigious trophy on penalties. The Rossoneri play their home games at Stadio San Siro (80,018), the stadium that was opened in 1926. It is well known that Milan’s bitterest rivals are Inter and there have always been fireworks when the two local rivals face each other in the Derby della Madonnina.
Milan were founded in 1899 by a lace-maker from England named Herbert Kilpin and a businessman Alfred Edwards. Milan’s home kits are red and black and that is why the team’s nickname is Rossoneri (The Red and Blacks).
