AC Milan Vs PSG Preview: Rossoneri's Fate To The 2023/2024 Champions League At The End Of The Horn

JAKARTA - AC Milan will return to meet Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the 2023/2024 Champions League Group F preliminary match. The match at the San Siro Stadium, Wednesday, November 8, is predicted to put the fate of the Rossoneri on the brink.

This fourth matchday is arguably the life and death match of AC Milan in the Group F phase. The reason is, the Rossoneri have not won once and are in a distended position in the standings.

Stefano Pioli's team also host PSG with makeshift capital because of poor results in the domestic competition, the Italian Series A. Last weekend AC Milan were humiliated by Udinese 1-0 at home, obviously this is a danger signal to Pioli's troops.

The result also extended the bad result of AC Milan which has never won in the last four matches. Milan's decline in performance ahead of hosting PSG was also exacerbated by a list of injuries from a number of players.

Pierre Kalulu, Simon Kjaer, Samuel Chukwueze, and Ismael Bennacer had to miss the home team. But Milan is still likely to field Christian Pulisic who is expected to return and be ready to play.

If AC Milan fail to reach the round of 16, then Stefano Pioli will have to compete with Newcastle United and Borussia Dortmund to fight for a place in the European League playoffs.

While in the visitors' camp, PSG looked again with confidence because they had just won 3-0 over Montpellier in a domestic match. In addition, PSG also has a four-point gap ahead of Milan in the group standings.

Luis Enrique's team was quite champions in winning even though they would appear in front of Milan supporters at the San Siro. But PSG must also be vigilant because in this match a number of players were also injured.

Danilo Pereira is known to have suffered a hamstring injury, which made the Portuguese versatile player absent until the end of the November international break. Then Nuno Mendes, Sergio Rico and Presnel Kimpembe also could not appear again.

While Marco Asensio's leg injury and Keylor Navas' back injury will also make the two players unable to play for now. Milan could use this situation to change things at the San Siro.
