The home team usually plays in a 3-4-3 formation, favoring a slower, more organized style of play, attacking, preferably, through the side lanes. The left wing Rafael Leão is the great highlight of AC Milan, being very fast and competent when it comes to finishing. Coach Stefano Pioli will not be able to count on Sergiño Dest, Ismaël Bennacer, Fikayo Tomori, Alessandro Florenzi and Mike Maignan, all with physical problems.
