REF’s picks

AC Milan look well-positioned to secure all three points in Austria, making their win price a solid selection despite their recent inconsistency. FC Salzburg enter this match dealing with critical injury blows to Nikolas Veratschnig and Damir Redzic, which severely depletes their depth. However, Milan's shaky 2-0 opening defeat to Benfica proves they are far from bulletproof on the European stage.

1. 1AC Milan possess superior individual quality across the pitch and urgent need for points after losing their opening game.
2. 2Salzburg are missing key squad members Veratschnig and Redzic due to injuries sustained during the international break.
3. 3Milan's away form in Italy and their previous slip-up against Benfica show they can struggle to convert dominance into comfortable wins.
