LINEUP & PLAYER ANALYSIS

  1. Predicted Lineups   

Liverpool

  

The combination of Salah, Mane, Jota is working wonders for Liverpool

Jota is playing the False-9 role, dropping a little deep and linking up play

Mane is getting a lot of opportunities in front of goals. TAA is creating a lot of chances from crosses

AC Milan

  

 The AC Milan side has picked up from where they left last season, winning the last 3 matches.

  1. SCENARIO SPECIFIC DREAM11 TEAMS

   

   

  1. Liverpool wins with CS

High Probability. Liverpool has a great record at home. Focus on Salah, TAA and Jota

  1. Liverpool win w/o CS

Very High Probability. Chances of this are high as there is a chance for AC Milan to score. Focus on Mane, Salah, Rebic/Leao

  

    

  1. AC Milan win with CS

Very Low Probability. It is very hard to stop Liverpool from scoring in their home.

  1. AC Milan win w/o CS

Low Probability. To make this a possibility, it will take Liverpool to have a really bad match.

       

 

  1. Goalless Draw (0-0)

Very Low Probability. Both sides are of attacking mentality

 

  1. FINAL VERDICT (Prediction based on my inference)
  • This match is shaping up to be a cracker of a match as both the teams have begun this season on the strong foot.
  • AC Milan should not be underestimated given their heroics last season in Sere A, but it would take a top-shelf performance from them to win this match.
  • 2-1 Liverpool, Salah to score; Jota to assist.
