Milan's going for the win and they're throwing their strongest players at the Belgian side. The Rossoneri are looking to bounce back after a disappointing draw in their last match, so expect some serious fire from the get-go.
Brugge, on the other hand, will be looking to spring a surprise. They've been in good form lately and won't be pushovers, especially away from home. They've got some serious attacking talent and could cause Milan some problems.
