Tottenham will be looking to overturn their first-leg deficit of 1-0 in Milan if they are to qualify for the quarter-finals. The North London club has lost their last two matches, crashing out of the FA cup and losing to relegated threatened Wolves.
Tottenham will be boosted by the return of their head coach Antonio Conte, after a medical absence. Conte’s return could bring hope to the North London side as the Italian boss has won 5 of his last 6 managerial home games against Milan in all competition.
Milan has not been on a good run of form as they lost their last game against Fiorentina 2-1 during the weekend. Milan has lost 5 of their 6 two-legged knockout ties against English opposition as the Italian giant had not played a UCL quarter-finals tie in 11 years.
Milan has lost on an aggregate of 9-1 in their last 3 visits to the England capital in European competitions. But they can still hope on going through to the quarter-finals looking at their record of winning 37 of 43 European competitions ties in which they won the first leg.
Milan will not be missing any players due to injury or suspension, all of their players can feature in this match while Tottenham will be missing 5 players including their first-choice goalkeeper and France captain Hugo Lloris and center-back Eric Dier due to suspension.
Tottenham’s main man Harry Kane has scored 6 goals in his last 6 UCL matches at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium. Any hope of stopping him will come from Chelsea’s former defender Fikayo Tomori.
