Arsenal vs AC Milan: Friendly Match Prediction, Kick-Off Time, Team News, TV, Live Stream, H2H, Odds

Arsenal take on AC Milan in a pre-season friendly at Singapore’s National Stadium, launching their 2025/26 Asia tour. Below is a detailed preview of the match, including prediction, kick-off time, team news, viewing options, head-to-head history, and betting odds.

Match Prediction
Arsenal are tipped to edge a 2-1 victory. With Mikel Arteta fielding a near-full-strength squad after three consecutive second-place Premier League finishes, the Gunners hold an advantage over AC Milan, who struggled in Serie A last season and are adapting to new manager Massimiliano Allegri. Expect a lively match with goals, though pre-season rust could keep it close.

Kick-Off Time
The match starts at 7:30 PM SGT (Singapore time) on Wednesday, July 23, 2025, translating to 12:30 PM BST (UK), 7:30 AM ET / 4:30 AM PT (US), and 9:30 PM AEST (Australia). It will be played at the 55,000-capacity National Stadium in Kallang.

Team News

• Arsenal: Arteta’s 30-man squad features stars like Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard, and William Saliba. New signings Kepa Arrizabalaga (goalkeeper), Martin Zubimendi, and Christian Norgaard (midfielders) may debut. Gabriel Magalhaes, recovering from a hamstring injury, could return, while academy prospects Max Dowman and Marli Salmon (both 15) might see minutes. Noni Madueke is absent due to Club World Cup recovery.
• AC Milan: Allegri relies on Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao in attack, with Noah Okafor starting upfront. New additions Samuele Ricci and Pietro Terracciano are likely to play, but Luka Modric is unavailable due to Club World Cup commitments. Key departures like Theo Hernandez weaken Milan’s lineup.

Betting Odds

• Arsenal to win: 4/5
• Draw: 11/4
• AC Milan to win: 27/10
  Odds reflect Arsenal’s edge, though pre-season games can be unpredictable due to experimental tactics.

Context and Outlook
Arsenal aim to kickstart their campaign to end a five-year trophy drought, with Arteta under pressure after last season’s Champions League semi-final exit. Milan, rebuilding after an eighth-place Serie A finish, will test new signings and Allegri’s defensive setup. The match offers both teams a chance to fine-tune ahead of tougher fixtures.

Developing Story
As Arsenal’s Asia tour continues with matches against Newcastle and Tottenham, and Milan prepares for Serie A, this friendly will set the tone for their seasons. Note: Lineups and odds may shift closer to kick-off, and pre-season results are less predictable due to fitness priorities. Check club channels for updates.
