Team Strength Overview:

Liverpool have invested €300 million in the transfer market this summer, signing several players including Ékitiké and Wirtz. The club is still considering further reinforcements in the wing and centre-back positions, with Gordon and Guehi among their transfer targets. Additionally, Newcastle striker Isak, who suddenly announced his decision to leave this summer, could also be signed by Liverpool. The new-season Liverpool squad will be extremely luxurious: in attack, Isak will partner Ékitiké and Salah; in midfield, Mac Allister will team up with Wirtz and Gravenberch; in defense, new signings Kerketz and Frimpong will join veterans Van Dijk and Konaté; and in goal, it will be veteran goalkeeper Alisson. This squad, valued at €758 million, can be called a "Galáctico" in the Premier League.

For AC Milan, new manager Allegri has emphasized that the team aims to return to the Champions League next season while maintaining steady progress in the league to accumulate sufficient points. The team currently boasts strong attacking momentum: Rafael Leão, as the core of the attack, still ranks among the top in Serie A in terms of speed, explosive power, and one-on-one dribbling ability. New signings Samuel Ricci and Youssouf Fofana will become the midfield core—young, with strong ball control and organizing skills. Furthermore, the club has brought in the experienced Modrić, which promptly enhances the team's big-match experience and ability to control crucial moments. In defense, after Saelemaekers' return, he will transition from winger to right-back, and his speed and attacking drive are expected to inject vitality into Milan's defense.

Changes in Betting Data:

The initial European odds for this match are set at 1.40-4.65-5.70; the Asian Handicap offers Liverpool a -1.25 goal start. Considering the summer signing efforts of both teams, Liverpool have been lavish in recent transfers and are sure to make an impact next season.The continuous addition of top strikers has significantly improved the squad's depth. In contrast, AC Milan pales in comparison. Their narrow defeat to Arsenal in the last friendly also made new manager Allegri aware of formation issues, and the team still needs more teamwork cohesion in this match. Overall, even if Liverpool field two different lineups in the first and second halves, they can still dominate AC Milan. Therefore, it is more appropriate to back Liverpool to cover the handicap.
