Analysis and forecast for the match of matchday 5 of the Champions League “Milan” – “Borussia” D (11/28/2023)
There is very little time left to determine all the participants in the Champions League playoffs, because the group stage is coming to an end. On November 28, in the fifth matchday match, Milan will face Borussia Dortmund at the San Siro stadium. The start of the match is scheduled for 23:00 Moscow time.

The Devils are third in the group standings with five points. The team is only one point behind second place and two points behind Dortmund. Therefore, it is not even necessary to explain how important the home game is for the Milanese. In the most fortunate of circumstances, they can lead the pack.
It is true that out of four Champions League games Milan only won one: against PSG by 2-1. They also tied twice, with Borussia and Newcastle (0-0 in both cases). Stefano Pioli’s team suffered the only defeat in the match against the Parisians: 0-3.
The Devils were the ones who surprised the most with the victory in the match against PSG on the last day of the Champions League thanks to the goals of Olivier Giroud and Rafael Leau. It is true that the Portuguese was recently injured during the match against Lecce. According to doctors, he should have already recovered, but it is unlikely that the coach will immediately take a risk and let him enter the field.
In Serie A, Milan is third in the standings, six points behind leader Inter. In total, Pioli’s team won 8 of 13 games in the Italian championship, suffering three defeats. Olivier Giroud is in excellent shape, despite his 37 years.

He is the second top scorer in the championship, with seven goals and three assists. It is worth highlighting Francesco Camarda, 15 years old, in the match against Fiorentina. He debuted at 15 years and 260 days with Milan, thus setting a record. Giroud was absent from that match due to suspension. Thus, Pioli had almost no attacking players left, so Camarda was announced.
Borussia Dortmund leads the Champions League group standings with seven points. Under the most successful circumstances, the Bumblebees, if they win, can close the question of making the playoffs. The black and yellow suffered their only defeat in the tournament in the match against PSG by 0-2. They beat Newcastle United (1-0 and 2-0) and ended the match against Milan in a draw (0-0).
In the Bundesliga, Dortmund is fourth in the standings, but eight points behind Bayern. The gap already seems unattainable. Apparently, it will no longer be possible to avenge the result of last season, in which the Munich team snatched the championship title from the Bumblebees in the last round. However, Bayer leads the German championship, with 10 points more than Edin Terzic’s team.
Without Bellingham, Dortmund does not appear to be as productive a team this season as before. In 12 matches he scored only 25 goals, this is the smallest figure among the top 5 clubs in the table. The same can be seen in the Champions League, in which Dortmund scored only three goals in five games. But at the same time, the black and yellow team has enough attacking players.
It is difficult to determine the winner in a match where not everything is so clear. In the first head-to-head confrontation of the group stage of the Champions League, Milan looked no worse than Borussia away from home and could well count on victory. At home you will have even more strength and motivation. The Devils have the character that helped them win the game against PSG. Can Terzic’s team do the same? Hardly! Let’s bet that Milan wins in 2.03.
Prediction and bets for the match Milan – Borussia D November 28, 2023
Despite injuries and disqualifications, Stefano Pioli is moving forward. He does an excellent job and his players take the games seriously, they prepare actively and have a strong character. Furthermore, you cannot take away the will to win from the “devils”, which is what Dortmund usually lacks. You don’t have to look hard to find examples; It is enough to go back to the last day of the last Bundesliga season. We believe that Milan will win, but it will be a very difficult victory.
Tender: Milan victory in 2.03.
