[UPDATED]
Match details:
Real Madrid vs AC Milan
Estadio Alfredo di Stefano
August 8th, 22;00
Preview:
Real Madrid take on AC Milan at the Estadio Alfredo di Stefano tonight. The two sides are keen on getting their hands on the league title this season and would be looking to get a good game tonight.
Real Madrid are without Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane from now as the two top defenders have left the club. They are under Carlo Ancelotti once again and lost to Rangers in their only pre-season game so far.
AC Milan have a win and two draws this summer and will be looking to do better. They have a good chance of winning the Serie A this season as Inter have sold Hakimi and Lukaku, while Conte is no longer their manager.
Real Madrid last faced AC Milan in 2018, and win 3-1.
Suspension and injuries:
Real Madrid: Toni Kroos is out through injury, while Alvaro Odriozola has tested positive for coronavirus.
AC Milan: No player is unavailable.
Starting line-up:
Real Madrid: Courtois; Nacho, Alaba, Militao, Marcelo; Modric, Casemiro, Odegaard; Rodrygo, Mariano, Vinicius
AC Milan: Maignan; Conti, Tomori, Romagnoli, Ballo-Toure; Tonali, Krunic; Castillejo, Diaz, Rebic; Giroud
Top picks:
Olivier Giroud: The former Chelsea man will be leading the attack for AC Milan and should be a good pick. He will be looking to seal the starting spot with a couple of goals tonight.
Vinicius Jr: The winger ended last season well and will be looking to keep that momentum going. He should be the best pick among the Real Madrid forwards.
Martin Odegaard: The midfielder is looking to stay at Real Madrid and knows he needs to impress tonight. He should be the creative brain in the side today.
Captaincy options:
- Olivier Giroud
- Vinicius Jr
- Martin Odegaard
