AC Milan is coming into this match not playing in great form in their recent matches. They are coming off of a 4-0 win at home in their last match against a newly promoted Venezia side, but that has been their only win in Serie A in their 4 matches this season. They have 1 win and 2 draws in their other 3 matches, losing to Parma 2-1 away from home while drawing 2-2 with Lazio away from home and 2-2 with Torino at home. They have not been very consistent in their first 4 matches this season except for 1 thing, their defense has allowed at least 2 goals in 3 of their 4 matches. They are going up against a Liverpool side that has been in very good form to start their season. They are coming off of a 1-0 loss at home to Nottingham Forest in their last match, but those were their first dropped points of the season as they opened the Premier League season with 3 straight wins. That was also the 1st goal they have conceded as they have only allowed 1 goal in their 4 matches so far. Their attack has scored at least 2 goals in 3 of their 4 matches and they are going to be pushing to win this match away from home, not only to make a statement in Champions League with their new manager about this revamped Liverpool side, but also to get the bad taste out of their mouth from their 1-0 loss at home to Nottingham. AC Milan has been conceding a lot of goals this season and have not been in good form with their only win coming at home against a very weak newly promoted side. They do not have the defense to keep out this potent Liverpool attack and this Liverpool will defense will be harder for them to break down than any of their 4 opponents so far this season. Liverpool will win this match and collect all 3 points here.
