Liverpool vs AC Milan Betting Tips - BTTS
A competitive and potentially entertaining friendly fixture takes place in Hong Kong on Saturday as European giants Liverpool and Milan lockhorns in Hong Kong.
The Reds kicked-off their pre-season preparations with a 3:1 win against Preston last weekend, with goals from Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez and Connor Bradley securing a comfortable victory at Deepdale.
A busy summer has seen the Reds splash out over €250 million on new signings including Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez, and a strong performance will be expected in Asia.
Arne Slot's Premier League title winners failed to win any of their last four fixtures last season, with some defensive slackness creeping into their play. Liverpool leaked ten goals in their final five EPL games, while they have now failed to keep a clean sheet in 11 of their last 13 games played since March.
Milan come into Saturday's fixture after a disappointing 1:0 friendly defeat against Arsenal earlier this week. Now led by former Juventus boss Max Allegri, the Rossoneri will be determined to put on a stronger show in this weekend's contest in Hong Kong.
After losing three of their last four matches since the end of last season, Milan will need to get up to pace quickly ahead of their return to Serie A action in August.
Previous encounters between these sides suggest that we can expect a high-scoring contest. Each of their last four meetings finished with BTTS and over 2.5 goals scored, and I like the chances of similar outcomes this weekend.
BTTS is my first choice, while I also expect a minimum of three goals scored in Hong Kong.
