We do not doubt Milan, unfortunately Fonseca has not found the right formula for his team. but considering the two matches they played in their Domestic League, it seems that Milan is starting to improve and show progress.
He can find a good formula for AC Milan and their players and recent good performances are possible signals that Fonseca has gradually found good tactics for AC Milan. We will need some more matches to confirm this progress and the match with Leverkusen will be one of important matches to prove that Fonseca can do good jobs for AC Milan.
this match will be a challenge for Milan who are visiting BayArena, Leverkusen's home base. in this match, Fonseca must bring his team to win full points in order to improve their ranking. unfortunately, several players are doubtful to be able to play in this match. in Leverkusen's camp, the draw from Bayern Munich makes Alonso need to improve the performance of his players.
In Champions League, AC Milan and Bayern Munich are at the same level but AC Milan won more titles than Bayern Munich. If Bayern Munich can have a draw with Leverkusen, AC Milan can do the same. Leverkusen players will really enjoy their matches in Champions League and it is a first season in Champions League for Xabi Alonso in his coach career. Leverkusen have many people who want to explore and enjoy Champions League experience for their very first times. It can give them big motivation to beat AC Milan.
Interesting, it seems like you are an AC Milan supporter. I don't really follow the development of Serie A, so please understand if I only research based on data and statistics. points in my assessment, this match will not be easy for AC Milan with performance that has not been proven consistent. the two matches they won in the Domestic League are plus points for AC Milan players and Fonseca, at least their confidence is back to go through the match against Leverkusen early this morning. on the other hand, reflecting on the Bayern Munich match, I am sure Alonso is very aware that his team still has many gaps and shortcomings that must be fixed. not because of the draw, but in terms of play, tactics and strategy Bayern Munich is better than Leverkusen. in this match, Leverkusen will face a team that is very experienced in the Champions League. not something easy for Alonso, even though they are playing as the home team. my assumption is that Leverkusen is even more challenged to fight Milan which is a giant team in the Serie A League. uniquely, the odds for both teams show that Leverkusen is more superior. home team with @1.66, while Milan with odds @4.80. It seems, Leverkusen's probability is greater to win the match in the betting exchange. but actually the match I'm looking forward to is Arsenal vs Paris Saint-Germain, where The Gunners are our favorite team.
