AC Milan will look to replicate their league success in Europe when they lock horns with Porto at the San Siro on Wednesday in a UEFA Champions League 2021-22 game.
AC Milan are at the bottom of Group B and haven't managed to win a game so far. They have three losses and will be desperate for a win when they face Porto. Porto, meanwhile, are in a much better position with four points from three matches.
AC Milan are coming off a 2-1 win against Roma, a game in which they held on to their lead despite Theo Hernandez receiving a red card in the 66th-minute. Meanwhile, Porto enjoyed a 4-1 win over Boavista in the league at the weekend.

AC Milan vs Porto Prediction
Another defeat will effectively end AC Milan's European campaign, and hence Stefan Pioli's side will be hungry for a win on home soil. They have been in terrific form in the league, and Porto stand little chance if the seven-time cup holders can emulate that on Wednesday night.
We predict an AC Milan win by a narrow margin.
Prediction: AC Milan 1-0 Porto
