Ah, let's take a close look at this interesting match up we've got here, eh? Milan vs FK Crvena zvezda. Gotta say, this sounds like it could be a corker!
In the goalkeeping department, Milan seems to have the upper glove with Mike Maignan's impressive 7.72 rating and 26 saves. For FK Crvena Zvezda, it's Ivan Guteša and Omri Glazer between the bars, doing their best, no doubt.
Now let's chew over some of those player stats, shall we? For FK Crvena zvezda, Mirko Ivanić and Rade Krunić have been putting up some decent numbers. Ivanić, with a 7.15 rating, a goal to his name and a solid passing accuracy seems to be a key figure for Zvezda's game plan. On the other wing, we got Krunić who keeps it tidy in the middle with a 7.02 rating and also a goal under his belt. But, oh wait, don't forget Milson! Despite scoring twice, his passing accuracy looks kind of like my golf swing – way under par.
Switching focus to Milan, Christian Pulišić is leading the pack with his 7.60 rating and 3 goals to boot. Bet he’s got that winning feeling in his boots, huh? Similar story with Tijjani Reijnders; top performance with three goals and a remarkable pass accuracy of 94.5%. Now, isn't that just a delight to watch? Milan might have sniffed a strategy there.
In terms of recent form, Milan's wins over Real Madrid and Slovan Bratislava should give them a confidence boost, while FK Crvena zvezda had to swallow a series of sobering defeats against Inter and Barcelona.
But hey, who am I to predict the unpredictability of football, right? All I’m saying is, the smell of victory seems to be lingering around Milan a bit more, just like the aroma of a finely aged Parmesan.
