Real Madrid to Apologize to the Fans by Thrashing AC Milan

Carlo Ancelotti’s men got humiliated by Barcelona in front of their fans in Madrid. The final score was 4:0, showing that Los Blancos have some serious holes in the defense they need to patch ASAP.

Their offense also struggled a lot to break Barca’s offside traps, with Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr., Jude Bellingham, and others failing to score at home for the first time since May.

Now, they need to show their fans they’re sorry for the humiliation, and the best way to do it is to destroy AC Milan on November 5. They surely have the offensive power to score some goals, but their defense still looks weak, at least for their standards.

They will be without their first-choice goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, as well as without centre-back Antonio Rudiger and right-back Daniel Carvajal. Andriy Lunin will be between the posts, while the centre-back duo will probably consist of Jesus Vallejo and Eder Militao. On the right side of the defensive line, former winger Lucas Vasquez is supposed to start.

AC Milan to Go Back-and-Forth with Real Madrid on Tuesday

Coach Paulo Fonseca is probably aware that his boys can’t do much to stop Real Madrid’s offense. Instead, the only way they can get anything out of the November 5 game is to try and fight back.

AC Milan’s forwards definitely have what it takes to exploit Real Madrid’s defensive problems. Players like Christian Pulisic, Rafael Leao, and Alvaro Morata look capable of producing at least a couple of goals.

Their midfield might not be on the same level as Real Madrid, but we think they can create enough chances. Plus, they’ve got Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who’s famous for being fantastic at long passes. He can help his teammates create dangerous counterattacks.

Real Madrid vs. AC Milan Prediction

Real Madrid will win this game, we’re pretty certain. However, it won’t be an easy game as AC Milan will fight back. As a result, we should see plenty of goals, which is why our top betting pick is “over 2.5.”

Pick: Over 2.5 Goals
