Milan vs Newcastle Predictions and Top Betting Tips

Milan vs Newcastle will be a curious match between two fairly leveled teams. Here are our predictions.

Total Goals Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals

Milan and Newcastle have been ranked as fairly identical in strength, which may come as a surprise. However, Newcastle have been exceptional in the last year or two and they score a lot of goals. This will be their debut in the CL in many years and we think that they will try to win their first match or at least make a solid impression. We expect goals on both ends and an over.

Match Result Prediction: Milan to Win

We actually think that Newcastle are not that far behind when it comes to overall strength. Nevertheless, Milan are far more experienced at this level of football and they rarely lose at home. Apart from the recent defeat to Inter, Milan have been quite impressive in the new season and we expect them to score multiple goals in this match. They will not afford a defeat in the opening game against a newcomer like Newcastle.

Correct Score Prediction: 2-1 to Milan

As mentioned above, Newcastle have become a truly great team and we definitely think that they will have a lot of opportunities to score. In the end, Milan should be able to win this first meeting at home. When we compare the Milan vs Newcastle line ups, we even believe that Newcastle may have the stronger squad on paper but Milan are far more experienced.

Milan vs Newcastle Team Previews

Milan Preview

Milan didn't have the most successful campaign last season but they finished in Top 4 and here they are again. They nearly reached the final of the Champions League and will try to achieve it again. Up to date, they have been a lot more impressive in the new campaign, if we do not count that terrible defeat to Inter last week. They score a lot of goals but the main problem is the defense.

Newcastle Preview

Newcastle seem to be a bit out of shape right now although we expected a strong start from them. They were unfortunate to face some of the toughest team in the PL in the first few rounds. Milan will not be an easier opponent and Newcastle can expect a lot of trouble with their weak defense. It will be interesting to see them in Europe but we do not expect a strong first match.
