AC Milan v Tottenham
AC Milan came through their group stages with 3 victories, 2 losses and a draw. At home they hammered Salzburg 4-0 and Dinamo Zagreb 3-1, but also lost 2-0 to Chelsea.
Their recent form has been poor and their 1-0 victory over Torino in the League on the weekend broke a run of 4 successive losses in 7 matches without a victory
Tottenham topped their group with 3 wins, 2 draws and a loss. Their form on the road was strong where they beat Marseille 2-0 and Eintracht Frankfurt 3-2 before drawing 1-1 at home to Sporting.
Tottenham are coming off a 4-1 League defeat away at Leicester on the weekend and that broke a run of 3 successive wins in all competitions.
These sides last met in the International Champions Cup in 2018 with Tottenham winning 1-0.

AC Milan 15/10
Draw 9/4
Tottenham 2/1
I suspect Tottenham had one eye on this fixture when they went down to Leicester on the weekend and I am taking them to grab the first leg lead against an AC Milan side that really seems to be struggling.
Suggested Bet: Tottenham win at 2/1
PSG v Bayern Munich
This is certainly a clash of the heavy weights with both teams having come through their group stages undefeated.
PSG finished runners up in their group with 4 wins and 2 draws and at home they beat Maccabi Haifa 7-2 and Juventus 2-1 and drew 1-1 with Benfica. All 6 group matches of PSG saw both teams find the back of the net.
Their recent domestic form hasn’t been great and they lost 3-1 away at Monaco in the League on the weekend and went down 2-1 away at Marseille in the Cup.
Bayern Munich came through their group stages with a 100% record winning their away games against Barcelona 3-0, Plzen 4-2 and Inter 2-0.
They have won their last 3 domestic matches and on the weekend warmed up for this clash with a 3-o home win over Bochum.
These sides last met in the Champions League in the 2020/21 season where they met in the quarter-finals with PSG advancing on the away goals rule.

PSG 33/20
Draw 11/4
Bayern Munich 31/20
The first market that I looked at was both teams to score, but at under 5/10 the bookies have certainly seen me coming here. Over 3.5 goals is priced at 5/4 and that certainly warrants serious consideration and in the end I am going to go for a Bayern Munich victory.
Suggested Bet: Bayern Munich win at 31/20
