Two former European champions are set to battle for the Europa League last-16 place on Thursday evening, as AC Milan host Crvena Zvezda. Read our reasons for Milan vs Crvena Zvezda prediction and betting tips.
Stefano Pioli is convinced Milan will react after a 3-0 defeat in the derby della Madonnina. “The first goal was heavy for us. We lacked intensity in the first half, we should have done more, but we deserved to score in the second half,” Pioli told media. “We produced more shots on target in the second half with Handanovic who made some crucial saves. It was a difficult week, but we are going to react,” the coach claimed. “We weren’t too aggressive because we didn’t want to leave too much space for them and create two vs. two situations. Their quality emerged in the second half. It’s not easy to win the ball possession against them."
There is a question of how Milan will react after few setbacks recently? "Our strength is the balance. We believe in our job. We must be objective. One year ago or even three months ago we would have been happy to be where we are now. That being said, we are not happy because this was the derby, we wanted more, but we must not forget about our path. We didn’t do our best in the last three games and we know we can do something more. We are sorry for today’s defeat, but the bad game was the one against Spezia, not this one. We tried to give our best today. We are the only team who played the Europa League play-offs, we had some injuries and some players played too much. It’s normal, we knew this season would have been difficult and that’s why we must be happy with what we’ve done so far. It was a tough week, the worst one of the season. We want to qualify for the next stage of Europa League and then we’ll focus on Serie A again."
The hosts will make several changes from the derby defeat at the weekend, particularly with one eye on Roma's arrival on Sunday. In central midfield, Soualiho Meite is expected to take over while Pierre Kalulu should come in on the right and Fikayo Tomori in the middle of the Milan defense. Neither Zlatan Ibrahimovic nor his newly-acquired deputy Mario Mandzukic - who started in the first leg - are set to lead the line, as versatile forward Ante Rebic is instead tipped to start upfront.
Milan: Donnarumma; Kalulu, Tomori, Romagnoli, Hernandez; Meite, Kessie; Castillejo, Krunic, Leao; Rebic
Crvena Zvezda is the dominant team in Serbia as they are yet to taste defeat in the league. Their results have been decent in the Europa League, and they have shown consistency in recent matches having drawn their last three games in the competition. Zvezda showed their character in the first leg as they twice came from behind to earn a 2-2 draw. Milan Pavkov's 90th-minute equalizer ensured the tie is balanced ahead of the second leg. The goal came when they were with a man less on-field because Rodić got his red card 15 minutes before the end of the game. Manager Dejan Stankovic knows AC Milan well from his time as a player with rivals Inter and would love to get one over on the old enemy. His side is decent on the road in the Europa League and has suffered just one defeat in their last four away games.
Belgrade team coach Dejan Stankovic, no stranger to San Siro, will be forced to do without the suspended Milan Rodic, who was sent off in the first leg. Winger Aleksandar Katai - the club's top Europa League scorer so far - has been out since December with an adductor injury and remains unavailable, though midfielder Veljko Nikolic, who suffered an ankle knock last week, returned to the squad at the weekend. Scorer of the late equalizer in Belgrade, Milan Pavkov is in contention to start up front, ahead of Diego Falcinelli.
Crvena Zvezda: Borjan; Milunovic, Pankov, Degenek; Gobeljic, Kanga, Petrovic, Gajic; Ben Nabouhane, Ivanic; Pavkov

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
