AC Milan and Benfica will face off in a match between two former European champions, two historic clubs that will meet at the San Siro. The Rossoneri are the bookmakers' favorites at odds of 2.18 to beat Benfica. Amorim, who led Manchester United to the final of this competition in 2015, begins his European campaign at the helm of the Serie A club.

Historically, Benfica have struggled against AC Milan; the Lisbon Eagles have failed to defeat Milan in any of their seven previous encounters. The first dates back to 1990 and the most recent to 2019.

Even so, Benfica has had a fruitful start to the 2016/2027 season, not only achieving positive results in the Portuguese league but also securing a commanding place in the Europa League, navigating the qualifying rounds, and handing resounding defeats to Swiss side St. Gallen and Scottish club Hearts.

Our AC Milan vs Benfica Lisbon Prediction

This Europa League match, which pits two European football heavyweights against each other, will feature a Milan side with a deep squad, but one still finding its feet in Amorim's tactical approach. Even so, the quality of the squad is undeniable, and Modric himself compared it to the Real Madrid team he played for years ago.

Meanwhile, Benfica is on a formidable scoring streak; in six of their last seven victories, they have scored three or more goals.

Our prediction for AC Milan vs Benfica is: Over 2.5 goals.

Prediction:

 

Over 2.5 goals
