AC Milan will face Dortmund at home in the UEFA Europa League Group F. After four rounds of matches, AC Milan is in the third place of the group with five points, while Dortmund, who is at the top of the table with seven points, is the strongest opponent in this match. The result of this match is not only crucial for the two teams, but also for the entire group. In order to qualify, AC Milan will have to go all out and be careful not to take any risks. Dortmund, on the other hand, has moved to the top of the table after two matches against Newcastle and is in a good position. They are bound to tighten up their defense this time on the road, having conceded less than two goals in their last nine UEFA matches, so look for the 2.5 goal difference to not be too much.

AC Milan finally made it to the fourth round with a 2-1 comeback against Paris Saint-Germain in their last match, thanks to the excellent play of veteran Raffaello and youngster Chiote. Nonetheless, their possession rate was only 30% throughout the match, thanks to their opponents being too adventurous and giving them the chance to counterattack. However, AC Milan will need to take the initiative against the upcoming Dormont, which will be a brand new challenge.
Looking back at AC Milan's home performance at San Siro this season, they have scored only eight goals in six league matches at home, which is at the bottom of all teams in terms of goals scored. In the first two home matches of the UEFA Europa League, they also scored only two goals. This shows that AC Milan's attacking power is not strong, especially with Raffaello out injured, they may not be able to create too many scoring chances in this match.
