Preview: Anderlecht vs. AC Milan

Anderlecht vs. AC Milan

AC Milan will be keen to avoid an upset when they travel to Belgium for their Champions League Group C clash against Anderlecht on Wednesday.

The Italian giants, who have picked up just five points from four matches and are a point ahead of their hosts, are in danger of not progressing to the second phase of the competition for the first time since the 1999-00 season.

However, Massimiliano Allegri's side will secure qualification for the knockout rounds if they win and Russian champions Zenit St Petersburg fail to beat the already-qualified Malaga in the other Group C fixture on Wednesday.

Anderlecht defeated Zenit 1-0 at home in their last Champions League game and will give themselves a very good chance of making it through to the last 16 with victory over Milan in Brussels.

There are no suspensions for either side.
