Seven-time winners AC Milan find themselves a goal down ahead of their Champions League play-off second leg with Feyenoord on Tuesday. 

Our tipster Brad Walker (@brad_TWalker) has taken a closer look at the betting markets to see where the best value lies at the San Siro.  

Last week's defeat in the Netherlands remain Milan's only loss in their last five in all competitions. 

In fact, the Italians have won eight of their 13 matches since Sergio Conceicao's appointment at the end of December.

Milan are also unbeaten in their last 12 at home heading into Tuesday evening.

Brian Priske's Feyenoord have also picked up recently after suffering three consecutive defeats at the end of January/early February.

The Dutch club are now unbeaten in their last three, two of which ended in victory, while recording three consecutive clean sheets in the process.

Conceding goals in Europe remains a concern, though.

Goals expected in eventual Milan win

I'm not sure either of these sides will go much further in the competition regardless of who qualifies from the play-offs.

The winner will face either Inter Milan or Arsenal, two of the best sides across the continent and are also stifled by a startling lack of balance. 

Take hosts Milan, who may have scored in seven of their nine Champions League outings this term, but have also kept just a single clean sheet.

Feyenoord's story in the competition has been similar. 

The Dutch side have scored in all but one of their encounters, including all of their away fixtures, yet have kept only two clean sheets. 

Neither of those came on away soil. In fact, Feyenoord have averaged a worrying three goals conceded on the road, largely due to a 6-1 humbling at Lille during the 'League Phase'.

Still, they remain without a win in any of their last five away games in all competitions. 

So, despite Milan's defensive vulnerabilities, backing them to win this one with both teams scoring at a very fair best price of 2/1 looks an astute pick.
