Milan vs Dortmund Champions League Betting Tips: An Introduction
Milan will host Dortmund on the 28th of November at the San Siro. The match will be played at 20:00 GMT in Italy with the crowd backing the home side. However, it is safe to assume that the stadium will also be full of travelling Geordie fans. In Group F, the current standing are Dortmund in first with seven points, PSG in second with six points, Milan in third with five points and Newcastle in fourth with four points. Thus, after four games played, the group can go either way in the remaining two matches.
Head to Head Figures
- Dortmund have won once against Milan
- There has been one draw between the two teams
- The match in Germany ended as a 0-0 draw
- Dortmund lead the group
- Milan reached the semi-finals of last year’s UEFA Champions League
Milan to Prevail?
AC Milan are one of the most exciting teams to watch in Europe. Perhaps that is because the club have a historic background in the competition, having won it on seven different occasions. AC Milan were unfortunate not to reach the final of last year’s competition. They knocked out Napoli, who were heavily backed by football fans around the world to win the tournament. However, when reaching the semi-finals, AC Milan were knocked out by arch rivals, Inter Milan with both games taking place at the San Siro.
This year, Milan will be hoping that their two talisman players, Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud will come up with the goods for the side. Giroud has hit the ground running at Milan and has already scored plenty of important goals for the club. As for Leao, it is only a matter of time before the young Portuguese winger moves on to the biggest and best clubs in the world.
Dortmund Leading the Group
As things stand, Dortmund are in pole position to qualify to the knockout stages of the competition. They will need to simply draw against Milan to leave it all in their hands going into the final game of the season. Should Dortmund draw against Milan, they need only to win their final game. However, their final game is against PSG, another team that is tipped as one of the strongest in the competition this year.
Dortmund have been incredibly impressive, considering they have lost so much talent over the years. The likes of Jadon Sancho, Erling Haaland and Jude Bellingham all spring to mind. Now that Dortmund are without major superstars that are pushing on to become world beaters, they have rebuilt their side with lesser-known talents that have a point to prove. It has certainly elevated the German football club in terms of teamwork and determination.

Players to Watch
Both teams have a set of players that it is worth keeping an eye on. For Milan, the obvious pick is Rafael Leao, who is a fantastic shout to score a goal. His performances this season have proven the winger has a true eye for goal and is ready to slot the ball into the back of the net. Whether he can do it in this fixture remains to be seen but betting on Leao to score appears to be a solid choice.
Dortmund have goal scorers in their ranks as well. Julian Brandt is the standout name, particularly given his impressive track record of scoring in previous seasons. Placing a bet on Brandt to score a goal should not be as risky as other players.
Milan also have a few hot headed players. The one that springs to mind is Theo Hernandez, who has previously been booked for Milan numerous times. A bet on Hernandez to be carded is not over the top.
Dortmund also have their fair share of carded players. A bet on Niklas Sule to be carded is not beyond the realms of reality. The Dortmund player has already been carded numerous times this season.
