Prediction before the match Arsenal vs AC Milan
Arsenal and AC Milan will kick off the new season with a friendly in Singapore. The match will be part of the Singapore Football Festival, which will see Arsenal take on Milan and Newcastle.
The Gunners are aiming for the Premier League title this season after finishing second for three consecutive years. To serve that ambition, Arsenal has invested heavily in shopping.
At this point, it can be affirmed that Arsenal is the second most powerful team in Europe in the summer of 2025. The London club has spent more than 200 million pounds to recruit players, second only to Liverpool. The huge spending helps the Gunners own Noni Madueke, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard. Most recently, they have reached an agreement to recruit Viktor Gyokeres, the most coveted striker in Europe at the moment.
With 39 goals in the Portuguese league, Gyokeres was the top scorer in European leagues in the last campaign. With him, Arsenal will be more confident in scoring goals as they have found a suitable striker after many struggling seasons.
But in the match against Milan, Gyokeres and Madueke could not participate. Arsenal could only introduce 3 new players including Kepa Arrizabalaga, Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard.
Form, history of confrontation Arsenal vs AC Milan
With both teams being the big guns in their respective leagues, this match is expected to be a fierce affair, promising to be a high-quality football spectacle for fans across Southeast Asia.
Fans may be anticipating a disparity between the two teams as Arsenal have a stronger and more famous squad. However, the clash with Milan is just the beginning of Arsenal's summer training camp. Therefore, coach Mikel Arteta's players may not be able to get into the groove yet. There will be certain problems in the operation of both teams. Therefore, it will not be surprising if Arsenal go through some difficult minutes.
Arsenal vs AC Milan squad information
Mikel Arteta has brought a strong squad to Singapore and could bring in some key signings from this summer transfer window.
One of them is defensive midfielder Christian Norgaard. He is expected to strengthen the Gunners' midfield, while young players such as Ethan Nwaneri are also being given opportunities. Meanwhile, Madueke is at home due to his participation in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup with Chelsea.
Another case that will not play is Gabriel Jesus. After recovering from a serious knee injury, Jesus needs more time to rest.
On the other side of the front line, Milan also cannot use Luka Modric. They will create opportunities for Alexis Saelemaekers and Noah Okafor when these two players have just returned to the team after a loan period.
