This is a very interesting match between AC Milan, one of the oldest and most successful soccer clubs in Europe, and Newcastle, the Magpies, who are hoping to become a new force in Europe and make it to the UEFA Europa League group stage after 21 years.
The highlight of the match will be the return of Newcastle's Sindo Donnelly to his former club AC Milan. The midfielder is calm on the ball and has a good positional sense, which can create goal scoring opportunities for his teammates as well as threatening when dealing with dead balls, so AC Milan will have to make sure that he doesn't get too much time on the ball.
I expect Aleksandar Ishaq to pose a problem for AC Milan due to his ability to tackle opposing defenders and protect the ball, as well as his ability to lead his teammates in both offense and defense, while Newcastle will try to utilize Anthony Gorton's high speed to pose a threat during counterattacks.
The battle between Rafael Raphaelio and Gbia on the left side of AC Milan's attack will be crucial. I see Rafael Raphaelio as one of the best young talents in European football today, and although Newcastle's right winger Jebbia is also a threat in attack, he will be busy in this match.
Another player who has been outstanding this season is Gustin Pelletier, who has shown his real strength after leaving Chelsea. His combination of creativity, speed and goal-scoring ability will be a successful acquisition for AC Milan this season.
The two players, Gustian Pelletier and Rafael Rio, will make good use of the ball and send it to Chiote, who is very strong in the center of the field. The French striker may not be very agile these days, but I expect him to score if given the chance in the box.
