AC Milan – Benfica Lisbon Tip Europa League, Matchday 1 on Wednesday, 16/09/2026 at 21:00 CET
At the start of the Europa League, a real traditional duel awaits us tonight at the San Siro. My Milan Benfica tip is clearly about the goal celebrations on both sides. Both teams are strong offensively, but also show defensive weaknesses.
That’s why I decided on a combination bet. I’m betting that over 2.5 goals will be scored & both teams will score. This bet has often proven to be spot on in the last games of both clubs and promises excitement until the end.
AC Milan vs. Benfica AI Tip & Odds Analysis:
Our data model assumes in its AC Milan Benfica Lisbon AI prediction that it could be worthwhile to make a bet on goal(s) in both halves at odds of 1.65 with the licensed bookmaker.
Both clubs have tremendous offensive potential. In addition, the fact that it is “only” the Europa League and not the Champions League could make an extremely tactical game less likely and possibly even have the exact opposite effect.
Predicted chance of winning:

A home win bet for the Europa League opener would also be worth considering. The Italians are still unbeaten under Amorim and have an unblemished home record against Benfica. In addition, the Portuguese’s away record on the international stage has deteriorated since 2020.
Consequently, based on its calculations, our digital betting brain advises you to make a betting maneuver that I would dare to namely to win AC Milan at odds of 2.12.
