The return match of the Champions League between Tottenham and Milan is almost there, whoever passes goes to the quarterfinals.
The awaited return match of the Champions League between Tottenham and Milan is scheduled for 8 March 2023. Who passes goes to the quarter-finals of the prestigious competition. The first leg match it ended with a narrow 1-0 victory for the Rossoneri. The two teams are both in fourth position in their respective championships, Premier League and Serie A. A match that promises to be very balanced on paper, even if Milan, thanks to the success at San Siro, start with a small advantage.
The Rossoneri team will go to the quarter-finals in the event of a win or draw in London. However, he will no longer be able to count on the advantage of the away goal which is worth double, a rule that has been abolished this season. This means that if they lose by just one goal, they will go to extra time. Conversely, with two or more goal discards he will be eliminated from the competition.
When the championship resumed, after the break for the World Cup, Milan seemed to have completely lost those certainties acquired in the previous months. A very negative January 2023 for the Rossoneri colours. In the league 5 games played: 1 win, 2 draws, 2 defeats. Also last month, elimination in the Italian Cup against Turin and defeat in the Super Cup final against Inter. An absolutely unexpected collapse for Pioli's team. After the championship derby lost at the beginning of February, however, performances gradually improved, with the successes against Turin and Monza, to which must be added the victory over Tottenham in the Champions League, thanks to Brahim Diaz's goal.
Milan, fourth in the league and very far from the top, is very much betting on the Champions League. Since he hasn't reached the quarterfinals since 2012, the passage of the round is felt by the whole Rossoneri environment.
Opposite you will find the tough Tottenham led by the Italian Antonio Conte. The last precedent in the Champions League between the two teams dates back to 2010/11, does not arouse good memories in the Rossoneri fans: Spurs win 0-1 in Milan, draw in London and Milan eliminated.
The Bookmakers give Kane and his teammates favorites in the second leg. In detail, the betting odds on this match are as follows: 1.90 for Tottenham to win, 3.80 for the Rossoneri, 3.40 for a draw. Antonio Conte's English aim to exploit the home factor. It will be up to Milan to overturn the prices of the Book on the pitch, achieving a positive result and thus continuing the adventure in the most prestigious continental football tournament.
