In the previous round of the Champions League, AC Milan secured a 2-1 win over Crvena Zvezda, extending their winning streak in the competition to four matches. However, the Italian giants have struggled defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last ten European outings. Currently sitting in 12th place in the group standings with 12 points, Milan can secure a playoff spot with a victory in the upcoming game.
At the end of December, Sérgio Conceição took over as Milan’s head coach, bringing fresh energy to the team. Notably, Milan has been strong at home in European competitions, avoiding defeat in regulation time in seven of their last ten matches at San Siro (6 wins, 1 draw). That said, their domestic form took a hit last weekend, as they suffered a 0-2 loss to Juventus in Serie A, ending a six-game unbeaten run. Milan now occupies 8th place in the league standings after 20 rounds.
On the other side, Girona endured a narrow 0-1 loss to Liverpool in their most recent Champions League outing. This marked their fifth defeat in the competition this season, with the team failing to score in their last three games. Currently in 30th place with three points, Girona still has a slim mathematical chance of reaching the playoffs, but their task is daunting.
For Girona to advance, they need to win their remaining two games and rely on other results going their way. However, their recent struggles away from home, including three consecutive losses in Champions League matches, make this an uphill battle. Domestically, Girona sits 8th in La Liga, just two points away from the top six. Their most recent league match ended in disappointment, with a home defeat to Sevilla.
