Key Battles and Prediction: Slavia Praha vs AC Milan

Milan must score and score early otherwise we are in for a rollercoaster ride. AC Milan have a big challenge ahead of them this evening as they need to beat the unbeaten Slavia Praha on home soil in the Europa League. Milan have a two goal advantage but it does not seem like enough given Praha have not conceded at home in the competition and look like they can score against us.
Here are some key battles to look out for:
Key Battles
Striker vs Goalkeeper
Olivier Giroud vs Jindrich Stanek
Stanek is a new goalkeeper for Slavia Praha but is standing on a big clean sheet record in Europe and has kept 2/2 in the league thus far. He may have conceded 4 goals at the San Siro but he was a standout performer and really kept his team in the overall tie. Giroud just opened his account in the UEL last week but seems up for the challenge and as one of the only players in the side to win a Europa League title, he needs to be a leader and be clinical in this game above all. We are not likely to have many chances early on as they pile on the pressure but we need to be lethal on the counter which means Giroud needs to hit the target every single time to make this work. Right winger vs Left centre back
Christian Pulisic vs David Zima
