AC Milan, on the other hand, are in third place in the Serie A table at the moment and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The Rossoneri slumped to a shock 2-1 defeat at the hands of Torino in their previous game and will need to bounce back this week.

AC Milan vs RB Salzburg Prediction
AC Milan were surprisingly poor against Torino in their previous game and have a point to prove in this fixture. The likes of Olivier Giroud and Rafael Leao are highly effective on their day and will need to make their mark on Wednesday.
RB Salzburg can pack a punch on their day but have not been able to cope with their European opponents this season. AC Milan are the better team on paper and should be able to win this game.
Prediction: AC Milan 3-1 RB Salzburg
