He is expected to be supported by Leao on the left wing and Rebic on the right wing, with Rade Krunic tipped to be the playmaker leaving Brahim Diaz and Charles De Ketelaere as bench options. According to what is being reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Olivier Giroud should be the man who leads the line for Milan against Salzburg, with a draw enough to get into the knockout stages of the Champions League. AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli is expected to do the same as against Dinamo Zagreb by fielding both Ante Rebic and Rafael Leao from the start against Red Bull Salzburg.

Milan in another must win situation. The side have a monumental 90 minutes ahead of them and the key players need to turn up.

He needs to be more dynamic in and around the box but also be more positive with the ball at his feet as opposed to continually knocking it all the way back to the defence. He really struggled against Wober in the first leg of this game as the pace of the Austrian centre back and his physicality to push Giroud off the ball threw off the Frenchman.

That's twice now Milan have struck the woodwork. Milan are really taking the sting out of the game now.

Milan have made it fourt! A ruthless performance from the Italian champions.

Milan full-back Sergiño Dest is available for tonight's Champions League clash against RB Salzburg, while Olivier Giroud sent a motivational message on.

[Olivier Giroud](https://football-italia.net/player/olivier-giroud/) will start up front. “The Champions League in the head, the destiny in the hands, strength in the heart, it happens to those who believe in it.” [Pierre Kalulu](https://football-italia.net/player/pierre-kalulu/), [Simon Kjaer](https://football-italia.net/player/simon-kjaer/), [Fikayo Tomori](https://football-italia.net/player/fikayo-tomori/) and The Hernandez in a four-man back-line.

Do or die for Stefano Pioli. Can he celebrate his renewal by taking the next big step with the side?

Our midfield will need to be a wildcard if the attack is faltering and maybe we see one of Bennacer or Tonali grab a crucial goal. We cannot transition the play without him and cannot even dream of controlling the midfield when he is not present. Milan have not been to the knockouts since 2013/14 and this is the next big step for the young group and Stefano Pioli to show their progression following their elimination in the group stages last year.

AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli has made five changes to his starting line-up for the crucial Champions League group stage game against Red Bull Salzburg ...

Charles De Ketelaere, Brahim Diaz, Junior Messias and Divock Origi are on the bench to start. Sandro Tonali and Ismael Bennacer will be reunited as the double pivot as Tommaso Pobega has been relegated to substitute, with Rafael Leao on the left wing, Ante Rebic on the right wing and Rade Krunic as the playmaker. Ciprian Tatarusanu will be in goal given Mike Maignan’s absence with Pierre Kalulu right-back, Theo Hernandez left-back and a centre-back pairing of Simon Kjaer and Fikayo Tomori, meaning Matteo Gabbia has dropped to the bench.
