AC Milan vs Newcastle United F.C. Prediction 19 September 2023

In matchday 1 of the Champions League group stage, the representatives of the F quartet - Milan and Newcastle - will compete.

Previously, Milan suffered a miserable fiasco 1:5 against Inter in the league, although before the international break they beat Bologna (2:0), Torino (4:1) and Roma (2:1). Let us remind you that in the previous European campaign, the Rossoneri reached the semi-finals, where they were defeated by the aforementioned Inter.

While Newcastle are playing on the continental level for the first time since the 2012/13 campaign, having qualified for the play-offs of the European League. So far, the Magpies are far from their optimal condition - after a spectacular 5:1 win against Aston Villa, they lost three matches to Manchester City (0:1), Liverpool (1:2) and Brighton (1:3), and also beat Brentford 1-0.

As for us, Newcastle are not yet ready for great battles, while Milan has the DNA of a winner, which helps them achieve positive results in European competition. We predict the hosts will at least not lose.
