AC Milan will have to come back from behind if they are to advance into the last-16 of the UEFA Champions League as they prepare to face Feyenoord at Stadio San Siro on Tuesday evening.
Sergio Conceicao's men were stunned last week at Stadion Feijenoord 'De Kuip' as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against the Dutch outfit, but they will be confident they can turn the tie in their favour in front of their own fans.

Tip | Current Odds |

Under 2.5 goals | |
Youssouf Fofana to be carded |
AC Milan to win to nil - 5/4
Interim Feyenoord coach Pascal Bosschaart watched his side take an early lead last week in Rotterdam and they deserve praise for keeping AC Milan at bay.
While Feyenoord are fourth in the Eredivisie, they do not have the wealth of riches that their Italian rivals have and they produced an upset in the first leg to give themselves a chance to progress.
Sadly for Feyenoord, their recent away form leaves a lot to be desired as they are winless in their last five on the road.
The Club of the People face an AC Milan side that are unbeaten in 12 at home, while Conceicao's side have kept two clean sheets in their last three.
Feyenoord have not scored more than one goal in any of their last five away from home, so a Rossoneri win to nil appeals at the prices.
Under 2.5 goals - 6/5
With a narrow advantage to their name, Feyenoord will look to hang on and frustrate their hosts across the 90 minutes.
While away from home Feyenoord have struggled for consistency, they have kept three clean sheets in a row in all competitions.
Bosschaart's side failed to build on their success over AC Milan after drawing 0-0 with NAC Breda at the weekend, and their inability to create chances against their hosts should be their downfall.
In last week's 1-0 win, Feyenoord only registered two shots on goal, and in the entire match, both teams could only create an XG of 1.07.
Under 2.5 goals would have paid out in AC Milan's last three matches in all competitions, so this could be a nerve-wracking encounter in Milan.
Youssouf Fofana to be carded - 5/2
The winner of Tuesday's tie will meet either Inter Milan or Arsenal in the last 16 and there is so much at stake for both clubs.
While neither side will expect to get their hands on the UEFA Champions League Trophy this season, both clubs are used to success domestically and will give everything for the cause.
AC Milan have picked up the second-most yellow cards in the competition this season with 27, 15 more than Feyenoord.
Midfielder Youssouf Fofana may add to AC Milan's tally as he continues to push boundaries with referees.
Fofana has collected two yellow cards in nine appearances in the UEFA Champions League, while in Serie A, he has picked up five yellows from just 16 fouls.
That suggests Fofana is happy to adopt an aggressive style and he will do well to avoid punishment as he tries to drag his team over the line.
