AC MILAN v LUDOGORETS
Thursday 22nd February 2018 – Kickoff: 2105hrs
Football – Europe – Europa League Betting Tips
AC Milan have one foot firmly planted in the quarter-finals of the Europa League following last week’s emphatic 3-0 win away at Ludogorets in Bulgaria, and they’ll now be looking to confirm their place in the last eight of the competition here tonight.
AC Milan have made steady progress under new manager, Gattuso, who was appointed after the sacking of former manager, Victor Montella after a string of disappointing results, and the former Serie A giants are starting to wake up now with Gattuso at the helm.
Overall, AC Milan have lost just once in their last 20 matches at this level, and they finished top of Group D with the one defeat away at Rijeka, but were unbeaten at home with wins over Rijeka 3-2 and a 5-1 thrashing of Austria Vienna which helped them to top the group.
Ludogorets appear to only have pride at stake as they make their way to Milan for this round of 16 second leg, following a dismal 3-0 loss at home in the first leg last week. And despite bouncing back in style in the Bulgarian First League with a resounding 4-1 home win over Slavia Sofia on the weekend, they’ll be up against it in Italy tonight I feel.
Ludogorets lost just once throughout their Group C campaign which saw them finish second to Sporting Braga in a very close group which also contained Istanbul Basaksehir and Hoffenheim, and although they remained unbeaten away from home in the group with a win at Sporting Braga, along with draws at Basaksehir and Hoffenheim, they’re likely to have their work cut out here.
