According to the best legal bookies for the Champions League, Real Madrid are the big home favorites at 1.45 (9/20). A draw is offered at 4.90 (39/10), while Milan are the away underdogs at 7.0 (6/1) to beat Los Blancos in the UCL 4th round.
The head-to-head score between Los Blancos and Rossoneri is completely equal in the UCL, as Real Madrid won six, drew three, and Milan won six in 15 total matches. The last time they clashed in the UCL was in 2010, and both qualified from the group stage.
Real Madrid are currently sitting in second place in the La Liga standings, as they are nine points below Barca with a game in hand. They are also 12th in the Champions League standings with two wins and one loss. Los Blancos are having two back-to-back tough fixtures, as they will face Liverpool next in the UCL.
Real M are coming off a brutal 4-0 home loss to Barcelona in La Liga. Lamine Yamal and Raphinha scored a goal each, and Robert Lewandowski had a brace. Los Blancos were supposed to face Valencia on the weekend, but the game got postponed due to the devastating floods.
Real Madrid are still missing David Alaba, Rodrygo, Thibaut Courtois, and Daniel Carvajal with injuries, while Antonio Rudiger is expected to be fit.
Milan are currently sitting in 7th place in the Serie A standings. The Rossoneri are struggling in the UCL, as they are in 25th place and outside of the qualifying spots. Things aren’t going well for Paulo Fonseca with Milan, and they have a run of tricky matchups coming up.
Milan are coming off a 1-0 away win over Monza in Serie A. Tijjani Reijnders scored the crucial winning goal for the Rossoneri in this game. The UCL 2024-25 betting odds still have Milan as big favorites to finish in the qualifying spots despite their slow start, but they would need to perform better, especially defensively.
Milan will miss Alessandro Florenzi, Luka Jovic, Matteo Gabbia, and Ismael Bennacer, while Tammy Abraham is back and ready.

Real Madrid are definitely motivated to bounce back after losing El Clasico badly at home. Los Blancos are known for focusing more on Champions League games, and they have won 17 of their last 18 encounters with Italian clubs in the UCL. Madrid are much better than the Rossoneri this season offensively, as Real scored two or more goals in 10 of their 15 games this season.
The FIFA betting sites have some nice odds on Real M to win the first half here. We correctly predicted Dortmund to beat Madrid in the 1st half last game, but we will go with Los Blancos, which needs a strong bounceback in this one.

Real Madrid have gone over the total in six of their last nine games in all competitions, averaging 3.66 goals per game. Milan also scored in five of their six away matches this season, so both teams are expected to score in this matchup, especially since Madrid have had a lot of open games lately. Five of the last six home games for Madrid were over the total as well, so the same result is very likely here.

Vinicius Junior is motivated after getting snubbed and losing the Ballon d’Or to Rodri last week. The Brazilian winger is in amazing form right now, scoring five goals in the last four games for Madrid, including a hat-trick in the last UCL game over Dortmund. Vini will have to look more for scoring in Rodrygo’s absence, especially now that Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe aren’t in their best scoring form as well.
Los Blancos need a strong bounce back in this matchup, while this is also a good opportunity for them considering Milan’s form. Make sure you use our 2024 Real Madrid vs Milan betting predictions and bet them at the best bookmakers in Europe to have more fun watching the game.
