The hosts are the worst-performing team in the entire division.

The new Champions League format is not much of a disaster after all. Heading into matchday 5, and we have already seen heartbreaks, wild crowd tifos, thrillers, and whatnot. But one thing has remained the same: Slovan Bratislava losing all their games, and it is not looking any better as up next they’d face AC Milan.

Milan are two wins in last two, after a couple of defeats to begin with. Now, going to Bratislava, Slovakia, could only bring them a huge victory on the road, right? Well, they should win… But who knows what this new UCL script has to unfold?

Kick-off

Tuesday, November 26, 5:45 PM UK (11:15 PM IST)

Location: Tehelné pole

Form

Slovan Bratislava (in the UCL): L-L-L-L

AC Milan (in the UCL): L-L-W-W

Players to watch

David Strelec (Bratislava)

The 23-year-old Slovak forward is raining goals in the league (domestically) as well as in the UCL, especially during the qualifying rounds. In 26 games so far, Strelec has scored 12 goals while also providing three assists. If they have a hope of scoring, then it’s through him.

Christian Pulisic (Milan)

The Captain America is back to his superhero best in Italy. So much so that the Pulisic fan club is up and buzzing in Milan. Largely down to his form—seven goals and four assists so far in 16 games across all competitions.

Match facts

  • Slovan Bratislava have only scored twice in four games so far while conceding 15 goals
  • AC Milan are on a two-match winning streak
  • The last time Slovan faced an Italian club was in the 14/15 Europa League season against Napoli (losing)

Injury & team news

Slovan Bratislava will lean on Tigran Barseghyan, who boasts 11 goals in 1.Liga action, and David Strelec, in fine form with five goals in five matches. Kevin Wimmer and Juraj Kucka’s returns bolster their lineup for this crucial clash.

AC Milan head to Bratislava with a mostly fit squad, though Ismael Bennacer and Alessandro Florenzi remain sidelined, and Luka Jovic is doubtful with a groin issue. Alvaro Morata is expected to lead the attack, supported by Rafael Leao, the Champions League’s top dribbler, while Tijjani Reijnders offers firepower from midfield.
