Team Preview
AC Milan’s Performance
Milan have been struggling for consistency this season, both in Serie A and in Europe. They have won just two of their last five matches across all competitions and have come under increasing pressure. Despite making several key signings in the winter transfer window, Sergio Conceicao’s side has failed to find stability.
Their recent Champions League outings have been disappointing, but the home crowd at San Siro will expect a strong response. The Rossoneri will need an improved attacking display if they are to overturn the first-leg deficit and progress to the next round.
Feyenoord’s Performance
Feyenoord arrive in Milan with a narrow advantage from the first leg and will be confident of causing an upset. Despite a tough season domestically, they have performed well in the Champions League, reaching this stage for the first time since 1994/95.
The Dutch side recently parted ways with manager Brian Pirske, but their squad has shown resilience. A disciplined defensive setup and quick counterattacks could help them see off Milan and book their place in the knockout rounds.
