Slovan Bratislava vs. Milan: Prediction and Betting Odds 2.50
In the fifth round of the general stage of the Champions League, Bratislava Slovan will host Milan. The hosts are one of the most modest clubs participating in the tournament and naturally occupy the last line in the standings. The champion of Slovakia has failed to score a single point in four matches and has already conceded 15 goals. The visitors began the tournament with two defeats, but managed to win in the last two rounds, including over Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu. Will the Milan team be able to continue their winning streak on November 26? The answer is in our forecast for this match.
Command Analysis
Slovan Bratislava
SlovakiaCurrent form
Bratislava Slovan continues to dominate the Slovak championship. Last season, the hosts won their sixth championship title in a row, ahead of their closest rival by 15 points. Now the team is also in first place, but the advantage is not so significant - just one point ahead of Zilina with one game in hand. After four consecutive victories in the Nike League, https://www.skslovan.com target=_blank rel=noopener>Slovan lost points in the match with Kosice (1:1).
Unfortunately, the team is not yet competitive in the Champions League. They were unable to put up a fight even in the home match against Dinamo Zagreb (1:4). The Slovak club performance is below any criticism - despite their xG advantage, the hosts still managed to suffer a crushing defeat against a team that is not the strongest by European standards. In the first rounds, the Kings of Bratislava suffered crushing defeats against Celtic (1:5), Manchester City (0:4) and Girona (0:2).
It is worth noting that the "sky-blues" have come a long way on their way to the main stage of the tournament. In the qualifying rounds, Vladimir Weiss charges managed to overcome Macedonian Struga (4:2, 2:1), Slovenian Celje (1:1, 5:0), Cypriot APOEL (2:0, 0:0) and Danish Midtjylland (1:1, 3:2). Apparently, the hosts did not have enough strength for the group stage.
Disqualifications and injuries
Adler and Zuberu Sharani will not play against Milan due to injuries. The appearance of Lukas Pauschek and Marko Tolic is questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team lost all four matches in the Champions League
- The hosts have not left the field without scoring a goal in their last six matches
- In two head-to-head matches, the team failed to score a single goal
Estimated lineup: Takacs - Vut, Bajric, Kashia, Blackman - Savvidis, Ignatenko - Marcelli, Tolic, Barseghyan - Strelets
AC Milan
ItalyCurrent form
Milan are not having their best season in Serie A. The current silver medalist of the Italian championship currently occupies only seventh place in the table and is six points behind the top 6. In the last two rounds, Paulo Fonseca charges drew with Cagliari (3:3) and Juventus (0:0), and their last victory was against one of the league outsiders, Monza (1:0).
However, things started to improve for https://www.acmilan.com target=_blank rel=noopener>Milan in the Champions League. Let us recall that in the first two rounds, the Rossoneri lost to Liverpool (1:3) and Bayer (0:1), ending up among the worst teams in the tournament. However, after that, the Devils won confident victories first over Brugge (3:1), and then over Real Madrid (3:1), which few could have expected. A victory over the current Champions League champion is worth a lot and can inspire the Milanese to new achievements. The visitors currently occupy 20th place in the overall table, which is enough to get into the 1/16 finals, but the team is certainly aiming to get into the top 8. The Italians are three points behind eighth place.
Disqualifications and injuries
Milan will be without Ismael Bennacer and Alessandro Florenzi, who are currently in the infirmary. Alvaro Morata will miss the game due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
Interesting trends for betting
- The visitors have avoided defeat in their last four matches (two wins and two draws)
- The team has never drawn in the Champions League (two wins and two losses)
- Milan have scored three goals in each of their last two away matches
Probable lineup: Maignan - Emerson, Thiaw, Tomori, Hernandez - Mousah, Fofana, Reynders - Pulisic, Abraham, Leao

1.80Tip and bets
Before the start of the Champions League, no one expected the hosts to win every match, but the Slovak club cannot even impose a fight on any of the competitors. They managed to avoid a rout only in the away match with Girona, which is in the middle of the Spanish Primera table. Milan is much superior to the hosts in class and is unlikely to spare Slovan in the fifth round. Even without Alvaro Morata, the guests have someone to score against. We believe that we will witness a major victory by the Milan club.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-2.5) on Milan with odds of 2.35
Bet on total
The Slovak team is clearly not up to the level of its opponents in the main European championship. The home team defenders are unlikely to be able to stop Milan forwards, although Slovan itself may well score at least a goal of consolation. Most likely, we will see attacking football, so there should be many goals scored.
Our prediction is total over 3.5 goals with odds of 2.02
Yellow Card Betting
The visiting players are much faster than their opponents, so the hosts will have to commit a lot of fouls. This will obviously not go unnoticed by the referees, so we believe that the underdog will have an advantage in terms of yellow cards.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1.5) on yellow cards for Slovan with odds of 2.50
