Milan vs Celtic prediction and match preview

AC Milan are currently in second place in their Group H Europa League standings with seven points from four games, just one point behind the leaders of the group, Lille. The Rossoneri are still at the top of the Serie A table but have taken just one point from their last two games in Europe. Milan suffered a 3-1 defeat and were then held to a 1-1 draw against Lille on matchday 3 and 4, respectively. 

On the other hand, Celtic are at the bottom of the group with just one point from their four games. The Scottish giants have had a disastrous Europa League campaign and have no way of qualifying into the next stage of the competition. However, Nel Lennon's men will still be hoping to get their first win in Europe this season while playing the rest of the tournament to salvage some pride.

Stefano Pioli's men will be hoping to return to winning ways, and given that Celtic have no way of progressing through to the next round, our Milan vs Celtic prediction is a 3-1 win for Milan.
