AC Milan to win and under 3.5 goals - 11/8

AC Milan are worthy favourites to collect three points here but it may not be a landslide success and it is worth backing the Italians to win a game featuring three or fewer goals.

The Rossoneri were making tough work of breaking down Club Brugge in the San Siro last month before the Belgians were reduced to 10 men before half-time.

They then followed up by stunning European champions Real Madrid in the Bernabeu with a 3-1 success.

They are not prolific, with 20 goals scored in 12 Serie A games. They drew 3-3 at Cagliari earlier this month but, that aside, they have only scored two goals in their other four most recent league games.

Slovan suffered a nightmare start when Manchester City visited in October, going two goals down inside 15 minutes, while they also shipped four against an improving Dinamo Zagreb last time.

Paulo Fonseca's Milan are cautious by nature - they had just one shot on target against Juventus at the weekend - and a low-scoring win for them is a likely outcome.

Christian Pulisic to score first – 11/2

Experienced Spanish forward Alvaro Morata is suspended for this game and that may give Tammy Abraham a chance to start for the first time since Fiorentina away in early October.

Christian Pulisic only appeared as a substitute against Juventus at the weekend after playing a key role for the United States in their CONCACAF Nations League double header with Jamaica.

Those games were played in Kingston and St Louis, ensuring plenty of travel, so it was perhaps no shock he only got 20 minutes replacing Ruben Loftus-Cheek at the weekend.

Pulisic has two UEFA Champions League goals already this season in four games and was on the scoresheet for his country last week.

With Morata and Luka Jovic missing, he will be a key threat and could open the scoring as he has against Liverpool and Club Brugge in this competition.

David Strelec to have over 0.5 shots on target - 6/4

They were ultimately beaten 4-1 by Dinamo Zagreb here on matchday four, but Slovan dominated possession in that game and had 19 goal attempts, seven of which were on target.

They may well get a decent share of the ball again here and can cause some problems for a Milan side with just two clean sheets in six games across all competitions and none so far in their four UEFA Champions League outings.

Slovan forward David Strelec has 15 goals for club and country already this season, including one here last time against Dinamo Zagreb. He also got the winner for Slovakia against Estonia during the international break.

He is capable of at least testing the Milan goalkeeper on one occasion.
