- AC Milan 12th in Champions League standings
- Girona are down in 30th place
- Recommended bet: Tammy Abraham to score anytime

AC Milan remain firmly in the hunt to finish in the top eight in the Champions League and they can boost their hopes of securing an automatic place in the last-16 with a home win over Girona on Wednesday.

Milan are 12th but just a point behind a clutch of six clubs who currently sit between third and eighth in the table in a congested top section.

Girona, meanwhile, are in danger of being eliminated as they have only picked up three points from their first six matches.

Team news

Alvaro Morata, Christian Pulisic and Malick Thiaw are all injury doubts for the Rossoneri after they missed Saturday's defeat at Juventus.

Samuel Chukwueze, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Noah Okafor are set to miss out for the hosts through injury.

For Girona, Portu will be assessed after he made his return from injury as a late substitute against Sevilla on Saturday.

Bojan Miovski and Miguel Gutierrez are likely to be ruled out for the visitors.

The stats

Sergio Conceicao suffered his first defeat since being named Milan coach at the end of last year when his side lost 2-0 at Juventus on Saturday.

After losing their first two Champions League games this season to Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen, Milan have since beaten Club Brugge, Real Madrid, Crvena Zvezda and Slovan Bratislava.

Milan are unbeaten in their last seven home games in all competitions.

Champions League debutants Girona have lost five of their six games in the competition so far.

Four of Girona's five defeats in the Champions League have been to nil.

Prediction

AC Milan have responded very well to successive early defeats in the Champions League, racking up four straight wins to stay in contention for a top-eight place.

New boss Conceicao has had a positive impact and has already led Milan to glory in the Italian Super Cup when they came from 2-0 down to beat city rivals Inter 3-2 in the final in Saudi Arabia earlier this month.

With plenty of teams battling it out to finish in the top eight, Milan know a home win over 30th-placed Girona is needed ahead of their final game of the new League Phase at Dinamo Zagreb next week.

They should be able to get the better of Girona, who have struggled in their debut Champions League campaign and Abraham might just be the man to help them secure a valuable victory.

The Englishman has already scored twice in the competition, netting against Slovan Bratislava and Crvena Zvezda and he can add to his tally on Wednesday.
