Liverpool - AC Milan

A couple of days ago, Peru got kicked out of the Cup Australia, the team is definitely not in good shape. They are in last place in the A league. Milan shouldn't have any problems today dealing with our home team. If Liverpool scores 4 against us, I don't see any major problems in beating the worst A league team by 4 or more.

Friendly Australia. If European clubs struggle a bit against Japanese or South Korean teams in the pre-season heat, then for Milan it is a somewhat easier task - Peru is only at the beginning of their preparation, although they have already been knocked out of the cup... Since there are no significant changes in the Australian club for now, I don't think the picture will be much different from last season when the team tried to play the coach's preferred more open football, but often ended up losing, with their defense being breached and struggling in the offense afterwards. There are some new defenders now, but without practice and only after joining the team, I don't believe they will have a big impact. After a tough match against Arsenal, Milan crushed Liverpool 4-2 with their effective counters. Good speed, not a bad finish, which shows that the offense is already in some form. Maybe there will be a low number of counters here, but I doubt that it will be difficult to score against a weak and poorly organized Peru defense, especially since I somehow believe that the Australian coach will try to play as he likes - more openly and at least try to score. I wouldn't be surprised if it worked, rotations are common in friendly matches for Milan and it often allows underdogs to at least make a mark. Overall, I think it should be a lively game, the weather in Peru is also good for football, which should help.

The North London derby in Hong Kong. Arsenal have been playing in South Asia for some time now and have already beaten Milan 1-0, Newcastle 3-2. I believe they will have an advantage against Tottenham, who have recently arrived in the region, so I think they will dictate the conditions. Arsenal showed good attacking football in both games, but in the first match they lacked accuracy in finishing their attacks, while in the second game the performance was better. This time, we can expect an even more effective performance from the Gunners, especially considering their latest signing, Gyokeres, who could make his debut. It will be difficult for Spurs to withstand the opponent's attacking waves, but both Newcastle and Milan have shown that there are weaknesses in Arsenal's defense, so I think Tottenham will also have chances to score.

The coefficients for goals are increasing, which is a bit strange for me, although there are both solid starters in attack and a good amount of quality reinforcements from the bench, which will allow us to maintain a good pace and quality not just during a certain period, but throughout the entire 90 minutes. Maybe I'll score a goal, but I think the Greeks won't even try and will choose a slightly riskier option. There could be quite a few goals in Hong Kong, plus the derby always adds extra motivation to keep going. I hope for something similar to the Arsenal-Newcastle game a few days ago in terms of both the visuals and the result.
