Locked in a tussle to progress from the Champions League's 'Group of Death', AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund meet at San Siro on Tuesday, when both sides will aim to build on wins last time out in Europe.
Dortmund top Group F on seven points following back-to-back victories over Newcastle United, while third-placed Milan sit just two points behind after toppling Paris Saint-Germain earlier this month.
After battling back from behind to beat Paris Saint-Germain earlier this month, when goals from Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud secured maximum points, Milan know another victory at San Siro would leave them within touching distance of making the knockout phase in consecutive campaigns.
While that will be far from a straightforward task against in-form Dortmund, last season's semi-finalists - who had lost 3-0 to PSG in France - now have their destiny in their own hands: back-to-back victories over the German giants and then Newcastle would guarantee a top-two finish.
The Rossoneri recently returned from a welcome international hiatus having taken just two points from their previous four domestic matches, with an unpredictable Fiorentina side providing their opposition on Saturday evening.
