Assuming this was last season when Newcastle was in good form, AC would have found this match much difficult. Honestly this match this evening is very interesting. As expected AC Milan has dominated the match from the start and have made so many attempts to score, but Pope the goalkeeper of Newcastle has vowed not to conceive any goal in the first half.
The pressure is much on Newcastle but it's likely Newcastle us going to survive this first half because they are gradually calming the pressure

Newcastle can loss it in just one moment of distraction. AC Milan have a good record in the champions league of winning their first games, so Newcastle have to stay calm because they are in a tough group an need all the advantage that they can get. It is not easy to play in Italy and have a draw against one of the most experienced teams in the competition at their home. Callum Wilson will come in the second half, maybe Almiron and Lewis Hall, they may be the players to help Newcastle win their first game.

If I'm not mistaken Højlund has only played once from the first half and after several of his shots didn't turn into goals Ten Hag felt the need to replace him, at his age he might still develop better if he can get a good atmosphere at the club, so expect him to immediately become a striker who was sharp at Manchester United whereas when he was not like that at Atlanta, this is something that I think is a bit excessive, he was indeed bought at a high price but that is the club's fault for valuing the player too much.
In the first match against Bayern Munich, I don't think Højlund will make a big contribution to his club, I actually predict he won't be the main player and Ten Haag will put Rashford as the main striker, but whoever Ten Haag play, United will always find it difficult to score goals because their midfielders are also quite weak, especially the defense because Varane doesn't play, nor does Luke Shaw.
This is not an easy match for Manchester United, my prediction is that they will lose, only how many goals will go into their net will be the question.

I don't think Newcastle should be underestimated by AC Milan even though Newcastle are newcomers to the Champions League this season, because Newcastle could produce results that surprise everyone here. Even though Newcastle's performance in the EPL has not been good recently, AC Milan itself must remain wary of its opponents even though they are newcomers to the Champions League. So I think their match will be quite exciting to watch today.

I thought they would have taken advantage of the wealth of the owners to buy a lot of new players who had a high level but that didn't happen. I think it's this problem that makes them unable to compete with other big EPL teams. They are not as good as last season for the start of this season. It looks like the game against Milan is the first UCL since 10 years ago. With the current conditions, I also guess if Milan are more favourites to win. They will also play at San Siro. Maybe Milan can win 2-0.

In the domestic league, Newcastle is not good, which doesn't mean they are not good in the Champions League and vice versa, because the atmosphere in the Champions League is of course very different, sometimes teams that we think are weak can become strong when facing big teams, especially as Newcastle has no burden at all.

Current line up have been confirmed and excited to see reunion with Sandro Tonali, most emotional he has fight with teams make his name more popular and a lot of contribution for AC Milan in last several years before selling him last summer window transfer. I can't feel hos his emotion playing in front of Milan fans but he has ending happiness when joining Newcastle United without ask by our self for selling to the other team.
Last match in domestic league against Brentford Sandro Tonali not get in starting eleven and looks he save for crucial and important match against AC Milan in Champion League. I want to see how emotional for Sandro Tonali against his teams was make his name more popular and will celebration or respect with Milan's fans without celebration yet.

I believe, Milan defeat in Serie A by Inter will not have a bad impact on Milan performance in the Champions League. Because after all, basically the teams in group F are all experiencing a decline in performance but I think, Milan is still better even than PSG. Because after all, last season when PSG still had Messi and Neymar but in reality PSG was only runner uup under Benfica. So yes, even though in group F it looks like they are big teams but in fact, they are experiencing situations and conditions that are not so good at this moment. Therefore, I personally believe that no one is really a favorite in this group F, because I think the teams in this group F have the same chance.

That is what makes the group F so interesting. Last year we would have said that Dortmund has no chance at all against that former PSG squad and Newcastle in top shape, but since all 4 of them are now having their own set of issues, I think everything is possible. PSG has one ace up their sleeves and I think during the group stage that ace is called Mbappe. He can really make a difference against those clubs in group F whereas I am convinced that Mbappe would not be enough in a knockout game against Manchester City or Real Madrid.

Milan Vs Newcastle United
Milan vs Newcastle Group F Round 1 match will be interesting, both the teams are strong enough, and we will see an exciting game between the two teams. In particular, we are the strongest team in Group F of the Champions League, and both teams will put in a fantastic performance to win today. This match is at Milan's home ground, so Milan are likely to win today's match, but Newcastle will also attack brilliantly and must play well to win the match. The few teams in Group F are all strong, so it is difficult to say which team will perform well in the group stage and survive in the Champions League. But today's match is an interesting match between two teams, both teams are strong enough and today's match may be a draw. However, I support Milan in today's match, they have the best chance to win this match, so I hope they can win today's match.

Underestimating the strength of the opponent is the biggest mistake a team can make. Milan must perform optimally even though Newcastle has recently appeared less consistent in the Premier League. Newcastle come to the San Siro not to accept defeat, they will direct all their strength to steal points from Milan.

I don't think Newcastle should be underestimated by AC Milan even though Newcastle are newcomers to the Champions League this season, because Newcastle could produce results that surprise everyone here. Even though Newcastle's performance in the EPL has not been good recently, AC Milan itself must remain wary of its opponents even though they are newcomers to the Champions League. So I think their match will be quite exciting to watch today.

In the beginning I thought that AC Milan could be the favorite in this group, but now I changed my mind after that loss against Inter Milan. It was the first real test I think and AC Milan didn't pass it. But all the other teams in their group are no monsters either, they all have got problems and they are all nervous to play their first game as everyone of them doesn't want to start into the group stage with a loss of course. Both games AC Milan vs. Newcastle and PSG vs. Dortmund will give us a lot of insight into how this group may play out.

For PSG's match against Dortmund, both teams had problems with their front lines. I mean, the center forward who scores the goal. PSG cannot rely on Goncalo Ramos yet, he still needs a lot of time to reach his level. As for Assensio, it seems he is still injured and will miss this match. So, there was no choice but for Enrique to give Randal and Muani a chance.
While Dortmund's Edin Terzic also had problems with some of their center forwards. Sabastien Haller cannot be relied on, so far he has not been able to score a single goal. Likewise with their young strikers, neither of them can be relied on.
Well, because this match will be held at the Parc des Princess, and the bookies favor PSG, there's no harm in choosing to bet on Paris Saint-Germain with odds @1.76. I'm pretty sure PSG will win this match.

Barcelona versus Royal Antwerp, we can already guess and predict that these two teams have quite a clear gap. On paper, Barcelona will win this match. But for betting on Barcelona, ​​again it's not ideal. In this match, the most ideal option IMO is betting on the -2 handicap option for Barcelona with odds @1.83. with the scenario, Barcelona must score more than 2 goals.
for the Milan vs Newcastle match, I posted it in the previous post. for Porto, I didn't try to research and analyze it. but in theory, Porto should be able to overthrow Shaktar Donetsk.
