Following a 1-0 victory last week Milan return to Italy for the final return leg in the Europa League playoffs. This week Milan will have over Sixty Thousand fans at the San Siro to root on the Rossoneri in the first European League match in years.
After a week of getting their conditioning up Milan add some more players to this lineup including the return of fan favorite Suso who will be on the right wing, highly regarded fullback Andrea Conti and the passionate starlet in Manuel Locatelli.
With the majority of the stadium sold out and important lineup changes it is going to be a near impossible chance for Craiova to beat the European Giants.
Patrick Cutrone will get the start once again due to a minor foot issue to Andre Silva who is still available off the bench but Milan is taking the right precautions.
Besides Conti the back remains the same as Milan continue to build chemistry. Bonucci and Biglia aren’t able to play in matches until the sacred bonds clear so Lazio and Juventus receive their payments accordingly.
Milan fans have to be encouraged by Montella starting Locatelli this match and moving on from a damaged Montolivo. Much of Milan’s recent improvement has been going to the youth.
Expect to see all these changes pay off, Milan should win this one handily and get ready for the Serie A campaign.
My Prediction: Milan will win this one handily 3-0, more conditioning will be huge for the club.
Scorers: Suso, Kessie and Bonaventura
Milan’s next match will be against Betis on August 9th before their first Serie A match against Crotone on the 21st.
