Two of Europe’s biggest clubs meet on July 27, with Man City vs AC Milan kicking off at Yankee Stadium.
Man City come into this as the reigning Premier League champions and arguably the best team on the planet, while AC Milan will have huge support from New York’s Italian American community.

Man City vs AC Milan picks and predictions
My best bet:
Both teams to score and Over 2.5 goals (-125 at Betano)
My analysis
It’s always hard to gauge exactly how teams will play in preseason friendlies, but I have one wager that has a great chance of landing.
This is the second preseason game for both teams, with Man City losing 4-3 to Celtic earlier in the week as Erling Haaland and Jack Grealish were the only real stars to start. Milan drew 1-1 with Rapid Wien in a game which, again, only featured a small number of star players.
It looks again like City will be without the bulk of their players who featured in Euros and Copa America, something which should only help our best bet and increase the chances of more goals. The only key player who came off the bench earlier in the week was Ederson, and with his future at the club in doubt, it’s unclear if he’ll play or not.
Milan will be without new signing Alvaro Morata, but Fikayo Tomori and Alessandro Florenzi should start for Milan, having both come off the bench in Vienna. That should give Milan a slight advantage with more top-level regulars starting.
Neither team will be at its best defensively either, which should give us a real chance to see goals. We’ve seen BTTS land in both of City and Milan’s preseason games so far, and it should here — especially with Haaland and Grealish in the attacking ranks for City and the pace of Samuel Chukwueze for the Rossoneri.
Man City vs AC Milan same-game parlay (SGP)
In addition to my best bet, I'm also going to bet on Erling Haaland to score for Man City.
The big Norwegian scored in City’s first preseason game against Celtic earlier in the week and has been a constant goal threat since arriving in Manchester.
He’s scored 63 Premier League goals in just two seasons, as well as a further 18 in the Champions League. He’s the best goalscorer on the planet, and even in a friendly, he can be relied upon to find the back of the net.
