After two straight defeats, C Milan faces Club Brugge at San Siro on Tuesday to rekindle their Champions League chances. Milan must win after losing to Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen. The team has won just nine of their past 33 European games under Fonseca. Hope comes from a Serie A triumph against Udinese despite being down to 10 men.
After defeating Sturm Graz 1-0, Club Brugge had momentum. The Belgian champions have shown resilience, being unbeaten in four European away matches. Brugge also has a solid Milan record, including a 2003 victory.
Fonseca will make tactical changes with Theo Hernandez back from suspension and Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic battling for offensive duties. Brugge may lose Andreas Skov Olsen and Gustaf Nilsson, but Simon Mignolet is in goal.
Both teams are trying to recover, so anticipate an open game. Given the offensive potential and defensive weaknesses of both clubs, over 2.5 goals is the best option for this match.
